Over the first few years of climbing the process can be pretty simple, spend more time climbing and eventually you will progress, there comes a point where this curve flattens and we reach a plateau, a breaking point or a shortage of available time to continue to increase time at the wall. So what now? 

It is a tricky thing to choose what you should be spending your time on.

I often have conversations with climbers regarding their training programs and the nature of their focus, i.e. strength training in the gym, hangboard repeaters, hangboard max hangs, campusing and projecting all in a week. A little bit of everything training, the generalists approach. But is this the best approach?
