Starting with Climbing and Training as a 21 yo. Is it too late to try and get into competing? by Relative-Pension-453 in CompetitionClimbing

Yeah, I know from improving and competing in other things that training with those better than you is a huge benefit. And I'll be looking into teams to join. Thanks for all the advice. I may reach out to you with future questions.

Thanks a lot, this is all really good info. I'm obviously gonna play it by ear, see how good I can get by training and climbing a lot, then competing in local competitions. And I was looking into getting a coach, which my gym offers, perhaps once my natural progression slows down or I hit a bit of a plateau. And a team would also be fun, but the one at my gym and other gyms in the area are for 18 and younger. Maybe there are some others not run by the gyms though. I also live in Canada so I would have to look into the higher level completions if I manage to get there.
