Home Climbing Wall Listener Questions | Parts 1-6

Part 1

I asked, and we got a LOT of questions about home walls, spray walls, and the like, so we've split it into 6 parts - or more actually, since a few of the questions will warrant their own entire episode. 

In this episode, my co-instructor of our Boulder Builder course, Zach Alexander, and I discuss climate control hacks, the ideal home wall, warming up when you don't have lots of jugs, getting holds, big holds on a small wall, jibs vs. heelhooks, and getting trapped into long sessions.

Part 2

In this episode, Part 2, we discuss setting a spray wall, hold density and placement, training endurance on a home wall, and how to build a library of problems that are effective for your training.

Part 3

In this episode, Part 3 of 6+, we discuss marking and keeping track of problems, the value of old resin grips, volumes on a home wall, symmetric walls, and setting limit boulders.

NOTE: We mention the Eat Spray Love app, but are aware that it's no longer available. There are lots of apps out there now, we’re using Retro Flash these days!

Part 4

In this episode, Part 4 of 6+, Zach and I discuss setting for specific movement drills, the benefits of getting bunchy instead of just going big, determining rough grades on a spray wall, how to set boulders that don't suck, and calling yourself out on repetitive setting.
