Wide pyramid - Long time success/lifestyle

Here you have Adam Ondra's solid wide grade pyramid. This focus to also do relatively easier routes/boulders might be the key to become a lifestyle climber and to have a long time successful climbing arrier. A wide pyramid and enjoying every climbing challenge is probably most important especially for the youngsters as it sets the ground for your climbing lifestyle. As a matter of a fact, many of the best climbers in the history, beside Ondra, have also a wide pyramid instead of just focusing on increasing in grades. The coach of Alex Megos have said that they had an holistic approach and they actually tried to hold him back. Still, Megos has the same focus to either do the routes relatively fast or try another. Other top climbers with a wide grade pyramid is Chris Sharma, Dani Andrada, James Webb, Stefano Ghisolfi, Dai Koyamada, Ramon Julian Puigblanque, Fred Nicole, David Graham and Daniel Woods. At the same time, it is often the guys with the wide pyramid that also have done the most impressive onsights and flashes. On the other hand, there actually exist several top climbers with a pointy pyramid that later have almost stopped climbing. So maybe the best training advice for long term progress and enjoyment, for some, might simply be to just climb as much as possible increasing the foundation of the pyramid.
