I shared what I do before every hard climb over on YouTube. This is the fist step. It’s less about a strict routine and more about how I show up for a climb. You can usually see it in people. The ones who perform well don’t look weighed down by the moment. They look like they belong there. There’s a kind of ease, even when it’s hard. That’s what I’m trying to create before I leave the ground. Full routine is on YouTube. 🎥 @emilitacooney @blackdiamond @strongmind.climbing

Longevity is the overarching goal for me & my clients! What does that mean?... -Season to season progress in skill development, strength on/off wall & mobility. -Staying Pain & injury free. -Understanding balanced training load. -Learning the intent of our training & how it translates to climbing pursuits. How do we achieve this?... -Varied & progressively overloaded strength training w/deloads & rests. -Progressively overloaded mobility and rehab for both strengths and weaknesses. -Varied climbing intensity, hold type, discipline & wall angle. -Fueling w/ Intention. -GevityFit- "Built for climbers who plan to send for the long-haul." #longevity #climbingcoach #strengthcoach #bouldering #sportclimbing

Most training plans assume your body responds the same way every day. But sleep changes. Stress changes. Fatigue changes. So why would the plan stay the same? This week a climber named Lathan begins a training project built around a simple idea: the plan adjusts based on daily readiness. The goal isn’t to train harder. The goal is to keep moving forward. Makes you wonder how many people feel stuck in a plan that never changes. #training #climbingtraining #performance #longevity #adaptivetraining

Went out to State of Becoming to finish it. I had tried it while I was dealing with the fatigue illness after Century. I was shaky and sick feeling at the time, but it still seemed reasonable, so I wanted to come back once I felt healthy again. Finally got the chance. Funny side note. Foreman told Tessa to make sure I wore sunscreen, and Brittany Goris told her not to let me blow out my elbow again. Apparently my friends felt the need to warn my little friend to keep me from doing anything dumb and remind me to behave. I appreciate them 😂 This send isn’t the smoothest. I’d call it a bit of slop with the lack of control. Lots of bumping gear instead of just climbing. You can tell I wasn’t as composed as I’d like to be. I’m not upset about it though. I’ve been pretty out of practice with normal climbing. I took about a month off leading and since last summer I’ve mostly been doing easy vertical climbing unless it was a roof crack. Training for and doing Century put everything else on the back burner. Still, I’m happy I was able to fight harder than even a few days ago. It was nice to feel that switch flip where I decided I wasn’t coming off and wasn’t giving up. I’m also really glad my elbow is healthy enough again from PT and rest to climb like this without pain. And honestly I’m just grateful the fatigue issues from Century are gone. No more brain fog, feeling woozy all the time, or shaking from light activity. That means I actually sat down long enough this winter and had a proper little hibernation. Right now I’m happy to be back in better habits and seeing the results. Though honestly I’d also be perfectly happy petting my cat and painting most of the spring. For me, part of the fun is analyzing how the body and mind feel in climbing. I like sharing it when it’s messy, when it’s good, and when I’ve been an idiot and hurt myself. Video State of Becoming 12+ by @tessa_oliver

Build injury resilience with my 5-step system 🚀 Most intermediate climbers are high on stoke and low on structure. They’re passionate about climbing, but are afraid that lingering tweaks and aches will keep them off the wall. They want to make changes, but after a long week at work, they don’t have the bandwidth to make changes in their climbing. So they go to the gym, try hard, and hope for the best. Sound familiar? I created the Climbing Longevity Project for climbers like this. It’s designed to add clarity and structure to your climbing training with simple, actionable, time-efficient adjustments that fit any climbing routine. You’ll build climbing‑specific strength, mobility and resilience — so you can climb with confidence, stop the cycle of pain, and add years to your climbing career. If you’re an intermediate climber who’s ready for a change… DM me “RESILIENT” to learn more #climbingtraining #climbing_is_my_passion #climb

You are built to climb. Trees. Monkey bars. Playground structures. The back of the couch. If climbing is absent from your life, it leaves a hole in your movement experience that you’ll try to patch with inferior substitutes. Climbing isn’t a niche activity for a strange subset of athletes. It’s a fundamental human movement. Your body was shaped for environments where climbing was normal. For most of human history we climbed to traverse mountains, harvest food from trees, and overcome obstacles in our path. If you stop and think about it, the instinct is obvious: to pull yourself upward, to hang, to reach for something just out of range, to get on top. Kids still do this instinctively. Most of us used to be climbers. Don’t think climbing is for you? Neither did I. (You can read the full story of how I surprised myself on my blog.) So what does climbing actually give you? Physically, climbing is unusually dense. It trains multiple capacities at once. Think of this as a checklist of abilities worth keeping as you age: • Full-body strength • Grip strength • Mobility • Dynamic power • Cardiorespiratory demand • Balance and coordination These are exactly the capacities that tend to decline with age if they aren’t regularly challenged. Climbing’s real advantage may be psychological. You’re not just strengthening your body, you’re recalibrating your relationship with discomfort in a way that is playful, social, and rarely feels like exercise. Climbing reminds you of something fundamental: you are designed to support and move your own body weight. Not as a performance metric, but as a baseline human capacity. We are wired for this. Climbing is not niche athleticism. It is human movement. Tag your climbing buddies in the comments. Read the full Mandate #19: Climb - and get this week’s climbing homework assignment - on the blog.

it’s not a game called “remove what’s unnecessary” Eternaclimb - link in Bio💪 You’re not a set of separate parts — you’re one system. If you only climb all the time, it’s like putting new tires on a car and expecting it to get faster without upgrading the engine, suspension, or tuning. Real progress in climbing comes from balance: general physical base → mobility under control → coordination → technique → mental & tactics → specific strength. The tricky part is that we’re all different. At each stage, your biggest limiter might be technique, movement skills, recovery, finger strength, or confidence. So it’s not a game called “remove what’s unnecessary.” It’s a game called build the whole system — and shift priorities at the right time. #climbing #climber #climbinglife #rockclimbing

This, for me, is climbing: ✔️ Perfect, shady, still morning ✔️ Beautiful rock ✔️ Incredible movement ✔️ Great company ✔️ Birds (saw my first CA Quail) Does difficulty matter? Of course. I like a good challenge. And. Climbing provides so much more. @manshipfloats

Improve your movement with one of my favorite drills: One Leg Climbing! Maybe you believe this drill is too simplistic or only what kids do, and if that’s you’re mindset, you’re missing out on fun exploration, play, and better movement integration. This drill can expose movement weaknesses quickly. If a climber depends on constant double-foot support, then this one-leg drill helps to find balance using a smearing foot, commit weight more fully on the useable leg, and organize the body better to move more efficiently. The basics are the foundation to good movement. Give it a try the next time you’re at the gym!

Why do you climb? There are so many answers to the question but I find they generally come down to either movement or position. You do it for the beautiful views or feel of standing on a tower summit, position. You want the puzzle and try hard, movement. The movement doesn't get much better than this one. It's an amazing blend of technical balance climbing on the arete with sustained interesting moves on decent holds that keeps you fighting all the way to the end. #sportclimbing #climbingguide #iloveclimbing #climbingcoach #climbmore
