Hey! Nice video! How hard is the boulder problem at the bottom? Top?

[@sandaclimbing]

Thanks, Scott! Maybe a V3/4? Thank you for watching!

[@summerli473]

very inspiring! Do you train base endurance and power endurance together? Or do you focus on endurance first and then power endurance on the next cycle?

[@sandaclimbing]

Six to eight weeks before the sport climbing season starts, we do lots of sub-maximal climbing to build our base endurance. Two to three weeks before the season starts, we do a cycle (usually twice a week) of power endurance. In off-season, we do at least one aerobic endurance session and one power endurance session a week for maintenance. We'd love to hear how your training goes. Good luck! Thank you for watching :)

How did you train base endurance?

[@sandaclimbing]

You should climb and log many long sub-maximal routes to develop your overall endurance, without getting in the red zone (getting pumped and out of breath)! Thank you for watching 😊

[@buckhum55]

How long do you typically rest mid-route? (assuming there’s a nice jug)

[@sandaclimbing]

Really hard to say! It really depends on the route, climbing style and the overall fitness. Generally, on a short and steep power endurance route, just a very quick shake and on a longer vertical route like Jesus Wept, up to 2 minutes. Thank you for watching!😊
