ok, so this is my first post, so bear with me.
i am 13 and climbing around a v4, v5, real rock and gym, and I'm working on about a 5.10 but i don't have ropes so i don't get around to top roping and stuff much. i have been climbing for a couple of years and i want to go far, you know, get good, but i don't know where to go from here. any ideas would be great.

Climb man! Keep climbing. Get some projects to keep you motivated. If you climb in the gym work yourself to death once in a while. I try to leave the gym absolutely exhausted and sore all over every once in a while. Make sure you rest and don't injure yourself.

V4-V5 are in the 5.12 realm. Why are you still working 5.10?
Answer that and you will know what to work on. Yea, the old "train your weakness" approach.

My first advice is always to go outdoors and climb... but it might be a little hard to get yourself outdoors whenever you want considering you have to depend on others to get you there. If you can boulder at a V4-V5 level and are having trouble with 5.10 then endurance is your limiting factor. Does your gym have many routes for you to climb? If so then focus on routes. However if your gym is predominately bouldering then you should focus on long pumpy problems. If you dont have long problems then just add a hard traverse at the beginning of a challenging problem that you have already sent.

To make continous progress just keep climbing hard. Keep it challenging and do many different moves and problems. Some days I focus on endurance and other days power. I train different grips likes slopers and crimps. Don't push results too fast, because you want to avoid injuries.
If you can climb V4/5 then you be onsighting 5.10. If this is not the case, then many you should analyze what you may be doing wrong. Remember, when climbing tall routes technique and energy conservation is key. Knowing how to rest and not overgrip are essential skills to sending a long sustained climb.
Good Luck

If the OP isn't a troll, then he is 13, and he is serious. The F bomb and non-constructive retort were unnecessary, and you can be a better climbing ambassador to the youth that may trickle into these forums with serious questions.
Some of us noticed the spelling error, read that the OP is 13, and practiced some levle of restraint.

What does being 13 have to do with being able to spell "level" correctly?

I don't know. I am pretty sure it is a 1st or 2nd grade spelling word.

e and l are typed with different hands, if you type quickly it's easy to hit them in the wrong order.

Which is why you should proofread your posts before demonstrating your failings to the world.

Don't mention tipping. He thinks he is getting a really good deal. I wouldn't want him to get any ideas.

Fun fact:
There is no official body governing english spelling. Languages like German and French and have been subject to reform and standardization as the official languages of their respective countries but english hasn't. As such, english is a rich, constantly evolving, tapestry of dialects, creoles, slang and 1337sp34ks.
When some one corrects your spelling it just means they think, for no reason whatsoever, their educated-upper-class-dictated idiolect is better then yours.
