Repeating Routes?

I have been climbing for a year and a half now and with the winter I have been climbing at the local rec center(the only wall in town). At this point I have all of the possible options for routes done. Is it worth it to keep running the same routes?

Nah. Should probably just quit climbing, right?

Do every route perfectly.

Do every route til the cruxes feel easy.

Do routes choosing terrible feet only.

Do easier routes skipping some holds.

Campus a few routes?

Do every route in one session

Do multiple routes back to back without resting in between.

tons of variations to add value to repeating routes, keep doing all that til they reset…

I went to the gym once and lifted each set of dumbbells for exactly one rep. Since I had successfully completed the gym, I have never gone back.

At my age that is never a problem. 20 minutes after I finish a route I can't remember it. Senility Ascents Rule.

I never repeat routes, except for ultra classics outside but that’s only to “guide” a new belayer so I can abuse their services later in the day.

Your rec center needs to set new routes.

If you've been climbing for under two years and have done all routes at the wall... Don't they set sufficiently difficult routes? What center is that? What's the max difficulty there? 

Of course you should repeat them .... if you enjoyed climbing them .. climb them over and over .... and make the routes and old friend.

Amnesia onsights count and I will die on this hill

Don't take and lower. Climb back down.

Repeating routes allows you to refine your technique and try different beta.

... but your rec just needs to set new stuff occasionally like normal climbing gyms. If they don't set often enough... start setting for them?

I’ve been trying for a year now but because they don’t even have a guy to certify the tr they won’t let me set. 

I repeat the shit out of stuff because climbing is fun.
