How to do it
Pick 1 or 2 boulders at or just above your limit, and keep the same ones for the whole block. Spend about 30 minutes on each. First work the moves on their own until you have the beta for every one. Then link sections, overlapping them so every move gets done in a link, and finish with a few goes from the start. Rest 3 to 5 minutes between goes, and stop once your goes get worse. Next session, pick up where you left off.

Take the quizWho it's for
Climbers with a boulder they can't do yet and a few sessions to spend on it. One or two problems at your limit, worked properly, teach you more than six you only sample.
Common mistakes
- Only trying from the start. Work the moves on their own first. A move you can't do in isolation won't go in a link.
- Short rests. Three to five minutes between goes. Limit moves need fresh fingers.
- Carrying on when you're fading. Once your goes get worse, stop for the day. Tired attempts teach bad beta.
How to progress
Link longer sections each session, overlapping them so every move gets done in a link. When you send, pick the next one in the same style.
When it fits
The training periods this exercise fits into in Blok Sessions.
Strength Stronger fingers and pulling, with weight you control.
Power Explosive moves, momentum and coordination.
Performance Peak for a trip or a comp: focus, reading problems, trying hard.
