This program is divided into three distinct ability levels: V4–V6, V7–V9, and V10–V13+. You’ll be placed into the level that best matches your current climbing ability, ensuring the training is both effective and appropriate for where you are right now. Each level has been carefully designed using insights from over 1,000 climbers, reflecting what athletes at each stage respond to best and can consistently adapt to—so you’re not guessing, you’re following a system that’s been proven to work.

This program doesn’t just tell you what to do—it teaches you how to think, how to train, and how to actually become a better climber. Most plans give you workouts. You follow them, you get tired, maybe you get a little stronger… but you’re still guessing. You don’t really understand why you’re doing what you’re doing, and the moment something goes off—life, fatigue, a tweak—you’re lost again. This is the opposite of that. Every single piece of this program is built to make you a more educated, self-sufficient athlete. You’re not just given sessions—you’re taught the intention behind every session. What you’re building. Why it matters. How it fits into the bigger picture. So instead of just going into the gym asking “what should I climb today?” you start asking, “what am I building today?” And that shift alone changes everything. On top of that, you’re not left to figure things out on your own. There are over 100 detailed how-to videos that walk you through every drill, every exercise, every session—showing you exactly how to execute them correctly and explaining why they matter. So you’re not just doing the work… you’re doing it right. And it goes way beyond strength. This system builds: • your movement and skill, so you’re not just strong—you’re efficient • your mindset, so you can execute under pressure • your energy systems, so you can actually finish what you start • your strategy and tactics, so you climb smarter, not just harder You’re developing into a complete climber, not just someone who can hang more weight. Then you layer in the technical side—hundreds of videos breaking down movement, decision-making, and real climbing scenarios so you can start to see the wall differently and understand what high-level climbing actually looks like. And you’re not doing this alone. You get access to weekly live mentorship—real time to ask questions, get feedback, and make sure you’re always moving in the right direction. Because one of the biggest reasons climbers stay stuck is simple: they don’t know what they don’t know. This solves that. And then there are the guides—built specifically to remove setbacks. Whether it’s time constraints, fatigue, travel, or adjustments mid-phase, you always know what to do. You’re never guessing, never stuck, never wondering if you’re doing the wrong thing. So when you zoom out, the difference is this: Most programs try to make you stronger. This program teaches you how to actually improve. And once you understand that process… you don’t just get better for a few weeks—you keep getting better, long term. That’s the difference.

If you’ve tried programs before and still plateaued… it’s not because you didn’t work hard enough. It’s because nothing was actually building on itself. Most programs give you pieces—some strength here, some hard sessions there—but no real progression. So you improve a little… stall… lose it… and start over. This system is built to stop that cycle. Everything is sequenced: You build capacity → turn it into strength → convert it into power → and actually apply it on the wall. And more importantly—you’re taught how it all works and guided through the entire experience. So when things would normally cause you to plateau—fatigue, life, a tweak—you don’t fall off track… you adjust and keep progressing. That’s the difference. You’re not just following a program. You’re learning how to continuously improve without starting over.

You don’t need to follow this program perfectly. In fact… you’re not supposed to. This is built for real life—and more importantly, it’s built on a priority hierarchy. That means even when time is limited, you always know: 👉 what matters most 👉 what to keep 👉 and what you can safely drop So instead of feeling like you’re “off the plan”… you’re still hitting the most important stimulus. And here’s the part most climbers don’t realize… Because this program is structured so precisely, the training you do complete carries way more value. You don’t need hours. You need the right dose. The minimal effective dose—executed well—will drive more progress than multiple unfocused hours of random climbing. So if you miss a session? You don’t restart. You don’t panic. You adjust. You move forward. You stay aligned with the system. Because progress doesn’t come from doing everything perfectly… It comes from consistently doing what matters most.

Yes—and this is usually where people improve the most. Because right now, you’re probably doing a lot of climbing… but it’s not building toward anything. More volume doesn’t automatically mean more progress. In fact, for a lot of climbers, it’s the reason they’re stuck—too much random climbing, not enough structure, and no clear progression. This program doesn’t just add more on top of what you’re doing. It refines it. It organizes your sessions so each one has a purpose—whether that’s building capacity, developing strength, improving skill, or actually performing. It manages your load so you’re not just accumulating fatigue… you’re actually adapting. And this is where the shift happens: Instead of climbing a lot and hoping something clicks… You start climbing with intention—and everything starts compounding. Most athletes I work with don’t need more time on the wall. They need their time on the wall to actually count. So no—you don’t need to climb more. You need to climb smarter. And when you do… that’s when things start moving fast.

Because strength alone doesn’t make you a better climber—it just raises your potential. And most climbers never actually learn how to use that potential. If you train strength all year, a few things happen: You plateau… your fingers start to feel tweaky… and your strength stops transferring to the wall. You might get stronger in isolation, but your climbing doesn’t improve the way it should. That’s because strength is just one piece of the system. Without capacity, you can’t train enough to keep progressing. Without power, you can’t express that strength quickly on real moves. Without skill, you can’t apply it efficiently. And without a performance phase, it never shows up when it matters. So you end up strong… but inconsistent. This program solves that by sequencing everything correctly. You build the base so your body can handle more work. Then you raise your ceiling with strength. Then you convert that strength into power. Then you actually use it on your projects. Each phase unlocks the next. That’s why this works. Because you’re not just getting stronger… You’re becoming a climber who can actually use that strength to send.

If you don’t have time to do everything… you don’t need to. That’s exactly why the Priority Hierarchy exists. This program is built so you always know: 👉 what matters most 👉 what drives progress 👉 and what can be removed without losing momentum So instead of trying to fit everything in… you focus on the minimal effective dose. And here’s the key: Because the system is so structured, the work you do complete is far more effective than hours of random climbing. One well-executed, phase-specific session inside this program will move you forward more than multiple unfocused sessions where you’re just trying hard and hoping something sticks. So if time is limited: You hit the phase-defining climbing stimulus first Then layer in skill or mobility if you can And everything else becomes optional—not essential That way, you’re never guessing what to skip. You’re still progressing. You’re still building. And you’re still moving forward—every single week. Because it’s not about doing everything… It’s about consistently doing what actually matters.

If you start feeling tweaky or close to injury… that’s not something you ignore—it’s something you catch early and adjust. And the reality is… with this system, you should rarely even get there. The program itself is constantly protecting you—giving you built-in warnings and overlap guidance every day, progressing load slowly week to week, structuring training one-on/one-off for recovery, allowing you to push days forward when needed, and gradually increasing workload across the year so you’re always adapting without spiking into injury risk. Because the app is actively tracking your ACWR (Acute: Chronic Workload Ratio) on the dashboard, you always have visibility into how your training load is progressing. It’s showing you—objectively—if you’re increasing too much, too fast. So instead of guessing or going off feel alone… you have a built-in system keeping your load in a range your body can actually adapt to. That’s what prevents the majority of tweaks before they even start. But let’s say something still feels off—because life, stress, and climbing aren’t perfectly controlled. That’s exactly what the Modification Guide is for. Instead of shutting everything down or pushing through and making it worse… you adjust the plan intelligently: 👉 keep the phase-defining stimulus 👉 modify what’s aggravating things 👉 reduce load where needed 👉 and continue progressing safely So you’re never in that position of: “Do I stop? Do I push through? Am I messing this up?” You know exactly what to do. Because the goal isn’t just to train hard… It’s to train in a way where your body keeps adapting—without breaking down.

That’s a fair question—and honestly, it’s the right one to be asking. Because most climbers have already put in the effort… they’ve tried different approaches… and they’ve still ended up stuck. So it’s not about whether you’re willing to work—it’s about whether what you’re doing actually drives adaptation. And that’s what this system is built on. This isn’t based on one type of climber, or one style of training. It’s built on how the body actually improves: 👉 progressive overload 👉 proper sequencing of adaptations 👉 intelligent load management 👉 and skill development that transfers to the wall Those principles don’t change person to person. What does change is how they’re applied—and that’s where this program separates itself. You’re not locked into a rigid plan. You’re guided through it. With: • RPE-based training so sessions scale to you • the app tracking your load so you stay in the adaptation zone • the ability to adjust and move sessions forward • and weekly mentorship so you’re never guessing So whether you’re climbing V4 or V10… The system meets you where you are—and progresses you forward from there. And I’ve seen this play out over and over again. Climbers who felt stuck for years… finally seeing consistent progress. Climbers who thought they needed more effort… realizing they needed better structure. Climbers who were constantly dealing with tweaks… finally training without setbacks. Not because they changed who they were… But because they finally trained in a way that allowed their body to adapt. So the real question isn’t: “Will this work for me?” It’s: “Am I ready to follow a system that actually works?” Because if you are… You’ll feel the difference—fast. And more importantly, you’ll keep feeling it… week after week.

You’re not losing strength—you’re stepping back just enough to build the foundation that lets your strength go higher. Most climbers feel “strong” because they’re constantly training at high intensity… but underneath that, they’re limited by how much work they can actually tolerate and recover from. That’s the ceiling that eventually stops progress. The Capacity Phase fixes that. You’re building: 👉 tendon resilience 👉 work capacity 👉 movement efficiency 👉 and the ability to train more, more often, at higher quality And yes—you might feel less sharp for a short period. But that’s not regression. That’s you shifting from: 👉 “peak strength right now” to 👉 “ability to build much higher strength next” Because once this phase is in place… You can handle more volume in Basic Strength. You can produce more force in Max Strength. You can train harder without breaking down. And that’s where real gains come from. The mistake most climbers make is chasing strength all the time… So they never build the base that allows strength to actually improve long-term. So no—you’re not losing strength. You’re setting yourself up to gain more than you ever could without it.

No—you don’t need a full year to improve. You need a full year to keep improving. Most climbers can get better for a few weeks… maybe even a couple months. But then what happens? They plateau. They get tweaky. They lose the gains they just built. And they’re right back where they started. Because they’re not following a system that compounds. A full year gives you something different: 👉 time to build capacity so your body can handle more 👉 time to develop real strength on top of that 👉 time to convert that strength into power 👉 and time to actually express it in performance And then—this is the part most people miss—you repeat that process at a higher level. That’s how you get 2–3 grade improvements. Not from one phase… not from one cycle… But from stacking adaptations over time without resetting. So no—you don’t need a year to get better. But if you want to: 👉 stop starting over 👉 stop plateauing 👉 and actually reach your potential That’s what the year is for.

The main differences aren’t just about how hard the climbs are… they’re about how the training is applied, how much load you can handle, and how precise everything needs to be. At V4–V6, the focus is building a real foundation. You’re developing movement awareness, basic strength, and learning how to actually follow structure. Volume is a bit higher, intensity is more controlled, and there’s a heavy emphasis on skill—because at this level, better movement alone can unlock huge gains. At V7–V9, things shift. You already have a base, so now it’s about refining strength and starting to specialize. Intensity goes up, volume becomes more intentional, and the margin for error shrinks. Skill work becomes more specific, strength work becomes more targeted, and sessions require more precision in execution—not just effort. At V10–V13+, everything tightens. You’re not just training hard—you’re managing very high forces with very little room for error. Volume is lower, intensity is higher, recovery becomes critical, and every session has to be dialed. Strength, power, and skill are all still there—but they’re applied with much more specificity to your weaknesses, your style, and your goals. Across all levels, the structure is the same—Capacity → Basic Strength → Max Strength → Power + Power Endurance → Performance. But how much load you can handle, how precise you need to be, and how targeted your training becomes… that’s what separates the levels. Same system. Different depth. And that’s what allows it to scale with you as you improve.

It adjusts to your specific climbing profile because you’re not locked into one rigid version of the plan—you’re given options at every level, and you choose what actually moves you forward. Every day, you’re not just told “do this exact thing.” You’re choosing: 👉 which skill drills to focus on based on your weaknesses 👉 which warm-up and technical focus aligns with what you need 👉 which session style best fits your current goal 👉 which exercises target your specific limitations So if your footwork is holding you back… you bias toward that. If your power is lacking… you choose drills that build it. If your tension or coordination is the limiter… you train that directly. This is where most programs fail—they assume everyone needs the same thing. This system assumes the opposite. It gives you a structured framework… and within that, the flexibility to train what actually matters for you. So you’re not just following a plan… You’re building a version of the plan that’s tailored to your: 👉 strengths 👉 weaknesses 👉 goals 👉 and climbing style That’s real customization. Not random freedom… But guided choice inside a system that guarantees progress.
