For those who have been asking about training, I pulled a lot of inspiration from this online training manual by Mike Doyle, a very talented climber/coach who used to mentor the Canadian Junior National Team. In PDF format the reading is a little daunting, but WORTH IT for the climber looking to get serious!

It was originally created for the competition climber who lacked a coach, but the exercises can be used by any climber of any ability to improve dramatically. I found it to be a wealth of knowledge on strength training, but more importantly on mental and technical training as well.

Read it over! It is worth it!
