## Notes [[2024-03-28]] Being an *intermediate climber* seems like reaching my first plateau and trying to figure out ways to break out of it. I've been watching videos on techniques and strength, and I think that's good an all. However all of that knowledge still needs to translate to changes on the wall. There are a few metrics/benchmarks I could use, but in the end I still want on-the-wall results. I could aggregate the lessons I've learned every climbing session or every week. On top of that, I could also gather the performance benchmarks I'm tracking to see how correlated they are. I also want to include [[climbing maintenance sessions]] to track how I'm doing and to get an estimate of my ability over time. That said, I feel like I don't do enough V3s and that I should make sending and dialing V3s part of my core climbing session. ### Formulating a Routine I already have the following non-climbing routine established: - Monday - Weighted pull ups - Wednesday - [[Moonboard]] - Friday/Saturday - [[Campusboard]] & max 20mm half crimp However I'm still a bit unfocused during an actual climbing session. - Sit down and rest a lot - I try climbs and moves that are probably too hard I could alternate between [[4 By 4 Boulders]] and [[5 By 3 Climbing Session]] on different days
