Climb faster - Improve and have more fun
Adam Ondra is well known for climbing faster than all other top climbers. By moving faster, he saves energy and can reach higher. On the other hand, climbing faster means a higher risk for not finding the best beta.
Meanwhile Ondra has adapted to fast climbing also on his hardest routes after like 15 years of training, it is preferable to start practicing on very easy routes as you warm up. This will mean you set a new natural pace which can be used throughout the whole session.
Furthermore, speed will increase the challenge and also easier routes will be more fun to climb. In the end, what we all need is some very fast moves when you are pushing through the last moves of the crux or near the anchor when the tank is running empty.

Ondra flashes 3*8C in two weeks
โI stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโs World Cup in Prague, partly because I can already feel it on my body, especially in my shoulders. The modern competition style, with a lot of jumping from one hold to another, is very demanding for the shoulders.
