How to do it
Pick easy boulders and climb with one simple rule for the whole block: quiet feet, no readjusting, or steady breathing. Switch to another boulder before the quality drops. Climb 6-10 boulders, resting as needed.
Who it’s for
A short technique block for the end of a session, or for a day when you don’t want to train hard. One rule, easy boulders, fifteen minutes.
Common mistakes
- Changing the rule halfway. One rule for the whole block. That’s what makes it stick.
- Climbing too hard. Easy boulders, so the rule is the only difficulty.
- Carrying on once quality drops. Switch to another boulder, or stop.
How to progress
Harder boulders while keeping the rule, or a stricter version of it. Rotating the rule between sessions covers more ground than trying to hold three at once.
