Trouble getting past V3s
|
Its called "project". Pick a V4 you really want, and start working it every time you are at the crag or in the gym. Each time you work your project, it will get easier and easier until you finally send! |

A lot of V4s have 1 big move, so start practicing stretchy moves in the gym and if you can flash V3, stop climbing V3. THATS TOO EASY FOR YOU and your not getting any stronger. You need to get out of your comfort zone to grow as a climber in this case.This is, IMO, the best reply yet. |

You probably could start on video 5 as the first few are super basic stuff you should know by now. youtube.com/playlist?list=P…Thank you for this! |

I noticed in my gym the big difference between 3-4 is really really trusting your feet and just really 3 critical moves. drop knees,flagging and almost dynos where you have to trust your self and your abilty and just lunge for the grab nothing wrong with falling I've taken some slames in my gym and lost a grip at the top of a top out and slide down the whole wall no fun or is that the fun part!. Another big help watch people do the climb and just copy there moves and don't give up every time you go back to the gym and try the rout you'll find your self getting closer and and stronger until one day you get it and after that you'll get it every time |

What outdoor v6s have you done? |
|
Where did I specify outside Julius? Gym ratings are obviously different than outside but I clarified that at the beginning of this thread I mostly gym climb since I have no vehicle to access anywhere else. Speaking of cars, were you able to remove all the bagel dough from your back seat?? |

"So there's two options: You have to get stronger... No actually that's the only option," Megos says. Pretty simple advice... |

Maybe try going 2 or 3 times a week, consistently. Sounds like technique and finger strength which come with time. |
