i've been stuck at v9/v10 for 2 months now after 2 years of climbing. i'm already 5% body fat, some 140+ lbs at 5'10". it's frustrating since i have no weight to drop and i'm looking for that elusive v12 by the end of this year. never had an injury yet. just keep falling off the crux of v11's because i'm simply too weak.

anyone have an opinion on whether 2 months is a plateau or just impatience? was really looking to hit v12 by year's end, though.

ceebo brings an excellent point. it's better to not get injured by erring on the side of caution than to crank too hard and be gone for 2 years.

any training schedules that have broken plateaus? i've heard MWF is good, some people do 5 days/week and some do every day.
my v12 friend says never use heel hooks and if there are no obvious feet, campus. sloppy footwork means stronger hands to compensate which ultimately in the long run is better. he climbs 5 days/week.
my v13 friend says gymnastics with rings. climbing is all about movement, so shoulders and footwork are key to doing hard moves. he climbs MWF.
any opinions welcome.

comments on weight vests or other tactics? i've heard switching to route climbing can help (as a boulderer).
