Goal: Volume is the forgotten foundation - 30 easy problems build capacity that hard sessions can later cash in.
Protocol
- Work: 1 easy problem (approx. 90 seconds including walking)
- Rest: 90 seconds
- Problems: 15 per set
- Sets: 2
- Rest between sets: 10 minutes
Rules
- Everything 4+ grades below your max - falling is not allowed.
- Variety over difficulty: slabs, corners, aretes, roofs, all grip types.
- Climb each problem as well as possible - perfect practice, not just mileage.
Ideal early season, after injury, or as the second session in a week. Finish tired but not wrecked - you should be able to repeat it in 48 hours.
