Notes & Tips
The primary focus here is to maintain consistent quality and control in your movements across a larger volume of routes. Keep tabs on your endurance and technique throughout the drill, aiming for efficient, precise movements. As you grow more comfortable with this drill, consider adjusting the grades to better match your improving skill level. Pay attention to your body; if you’re experiencing any signs of fatigue or discomfort that could lead to injury, take a break.
