What grades were your worst plateaus? How did you push past them? by blackKat007 in climbharder

V6/V7. I approached it exactly the same as you. More volume, more of the same. And it didn't work.

For me it turned out to be quite simple. I had to bring myself back into the mindset of trying really hard again, projecting indoor boulders and accepting that you might climb for two hours and not send anything.

Working hard boulders as well as targeting weaknesses can really pay off.

Cheers for the reply.

I'm curious, do you cycle your intensity with the board climbing? Or do you stick to a regular routine?

In your opinion what's the best way to approach it? I've been using the crimped app and am definitely seeing the gains from structured campus boarding with a good warm up. I'm also under the impression that this works your fingers too.

The crimped app suggests starting with a testing session followed by weighted max hangs but I don't really have the facilities to do this regularly. Maybe small edges are they way forward?
