I've been rock climbing for about 2 years now. My endurance and recovery for this sport have increased to a point where I can climb for hours until my tank is empty. To give you an example I can casually do 5.8 routes, with 2-3 minute rest in between. I also mix in doing naturals/ 5.11-5.13's. Up to the 5.12-5.13 it really gets challenging for me I would have to rest mid climb. For no resting at all during a climb, I can do 5.10-5.11.
I am at the gym for 4 hours and sometimes 6 climbing. The minimum I would stay would be 2 hours. When I was a beginner back then I would never be able to reach these numbers, and on top of that I did 5.5 climbs. I most I could stay back then without my arms feeling there about to tear open would be an hour max of climbing. From there my forearms have gotten huge, almost same size as bicep. Chest really sticks out, my lats are now noticeably large. My body has completely changed, some of it from resistance training in the past too. It's not that I don't feel tired or fatigued during climbing thats making me stay so long, its that my recovery is so fast. I will be burnt out during a 5.12 climb, then after 5 minutes I'm ready to hit the wall again.
I always climb with good form and technique letting my muscles do the work for me, but is this too long to a point where I could be putting myself at risk of injury? I am 20 years old this year. A lot of people notice how I stay for long hours, and asked if I ever feel tired.

If you are climbing you are putting yourself at risk of injury.

Does it hurt? If so, stop doing it. If not, keep doing it.

any time a person feels the urge to ask "am I over training?" the answer is "yes."

Naturals as in natural features as in he’s climbing in a gym with featured walls and presumably hyperinflated grades.

Stormy got ripped off. It would take me a lot more than $130,000 to do naturals with Trump

I don't mean this to sound snarky- and if the OP is a troll I'll bite..... but it doesn't sound like you ARE training. Not in a "training beyond just climbing" sense of the word. And if you're pretty new, then just putting in climbing mileage is probably the best thing - so keep at it. But when you do start training - yes, you can over train and still potentially FEEL like you could do more. Absolutely completely destroying your body in a session is not gonna lead to the best recovery. and this: I always climb with good form and technique letting my muscles do the work for me is a solid suggestion that you should spend most of your time focusing on technique.

Your problem is you are stopping between 5.8s. Find a good top rope or sport section of the wall with 4-5 5.9s and easier next to each other and climb up and down without coming off the wall until all of them have been climbed. Than you need to go outside to real rock so you can understand real grades.
