We start with where you actually are. Your finger strength, your endurance, the weaknesses holding you back. Then we build your plan around that, using what sports science actually shows about climbing. No more copying someone else's sessions and hoping they fit.
Most of us just copy sessions off YouTube or follow whatever a stronger friend is doing. The trouble is that plan was never built for your body, your level, or the things you actually struggle with. So progress stalls, and it's hard to know why.
"Finger strength is the single factor that best separates climbers across ability levels."
From systematic reviews of what predicts climbing performance
Every plan we write leans on real climbing research. Here are a few of the findings that shape how we train you.
Finger strength is the physical factor that most clearly separates climbers across grades.
Strength relative to body weight predicts performance better than absolute strength alone.
Maximal dead hangs on a hangboard lead to real, measurable gains in finger strength.
Every plan ships with references to the research behind it.
We map the factors the research points to and find your limiting link. Training is aimed where the gains are biggest.
Max dead hang on a 20 mm edge, normalized to body weight.
Time to failure on intermittent hangs. This is your biggest area to work on right now.
Maximal pulling force and the ability to hold locked positions.
Determines how well you keep your feet on steep terrain.
Hip mobility for high steps and positions close to the wall.

Questions about your plan? Reach us by email and we'll help.
The plan adapts to whether you have a hangboard, lifting kit or just a wall.
Want to dig deeper? Each phase links to the studies behind it.
The plan fits the days and the time you actually have each week.
Training in phases takes you from a solid base all the way to peak form. Each phase has one clear job, and it sets up the one after it.
Anatomical adaptation. We prepare tendons and tissue and build a broad working base.
Heavy dead hangs and maximal pulling. This is where the finger strength that moves grades is built.
Explosive power and contact strength. We train the ability to put force on small holds fast.
We sharpen everything toward your project, with longer sets, less fatigue, and a real peak when it counts.
Test yourself regularly and watch how you progress. When the numbers start moving you know the plan is working, and it gets a lot easier to stay motivated.
"Honestly didn't expect much from an online plan. Three months in, I stuck a move I'd been failing for a year. Absolutely buzzing."
"What won me over was that every block had a clear reason behind it. I could see why I was doing each session, not just that I should. As an engineer, that mattered."
"I'm 42 and came back to climbing after a shoulder injury. The plan respected that and built me up slowly. First time in years I feel strong instead of broken."
"No fluff. They looked at my numbers, told me my fingers were the weak link, and gave me the work to fix it. Two grades up since."
"I train at a tiny gym with not much more than a wall and a hangboard, and the plan was built around exactly that. Sent my first grade 27 last month."
"I always trained the things I was already good at, because they felt nice. This finally pushed me toward my weaknesses, and that is what actually moved my climbing."
