Skill: 20 min practicing quiet feet and deliberate foot work. Climb an easy boulder or route as quickly as you can without making any noise. Each time you make noise, restart.
Discuss and teach: red-point climbing tactics & how to send a project.
Climbing: Create a hard project climb in which each move is doable but you are unable to link. Make the boulder 5-7 moves long. Once you have the moves memorized, give the boulder one effort every 3 min for 15 min - focusing on maximum try hard and climbing until you "fall" aka - don't let go!
Hangboard: First: Find maximum hang time on 1 pad edge (aiming for about :30-:60 sec). Then: Complete 10 hangs at 50% of your predetermined max hang time while wearing a weight vest, adding weight each round. Example: Max hang time 34 seconds, each round would be 17 sec adding 10# of weight each round starting from zero.
Recovery: stretch + 5 min ice tub forearms

"The climbing boot camp at Mountain Strong has helped me identify weaknesses in my climbing and my approach to climbing. Not only have I become more aware of my blind spots, Matt and Jamie have given me many useful tools to work on in order to become a stronger, more well rounded climber. "
“Since I started training at Mountain Strong I've been able to do things I never thought I would or could. Hard sport routes to multipitch adventures, I see climbing very differently now. I've even expanded into sky diving and becomming a pilot now that I feel like I can do anything I put my mind to. The training makes you strong and confident in all aspects of life!”
