How to do it
Stand below your project (or sit with your eyes closed at home). Picture yourself climbing it from start to top in real time: every hand and foot placement, your body position, how each hold feels, where you breathe, and how you push through the hardest move. If you get stuck on a move, replay it until you can see it clearly. Do it 3 times, miming the moves with your hands, then climb.
Run it now

Take the quizWho it's for
Projecting, and any attempt that matters. Rehearsing in real time is the part that makes it work: a sped-up mental run misses exactly the moments where you fall.
Common mistakes
- Rushing it. Real time. If the climb takes ninety seconds, so does the rehearsal.
- Skipping the hard move. That's the one to replay until you can see it clearly.
- Only picturing the hands. Feet, body position, breathing, and how each hold feels.
How to progress
Add detail: the texture of the hold, where you chalk, what you do after a fall. Miming the moves with your hands makes it noticeably more vivid.
