How to do it

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.
