Will Gadd: Training for Climbing Isn’t as Hard as You Think @realwillgadd thinks we're all overthinking it: "While the climbers-turned-crossfitters are wasting time and energy in the weight room, the top climbers are sending hard on a steady diet of, surprise, climbing hard," he writes at the link in our bio. "Training is easy. Climbing is hard. Training takes place in a relatively simple, temperature-controlled box, where effort in equals measurable gains out. Real climbing is messy: Partners, temperatures, technique, and a thousand other variables conspire to make the outcomes far less predictable. This is probably why so many people fall into the training trap: Hanging a 6mm edge for the goal of two seconds longer is a hell of a lot more rewarding than failing to onsight at your limit, failing to summit a dream alpine route, or failing to send the project you really, really care about."
