I just started climbing about a week ago and I just fell in love. I've been to my local bouldering spot and just got a membership at the closest rock gym. I've been strictly bouldering recently and it as been testing my strength. I've always been in good shape through sports and what not, but climbing is a completely new endeavor.

I've been reading everywhere and it's telling me that I should only seriously be climbing 3-4 days a week to start so my muscles have time to recover; however, I am desperate to climb every day.

Would it be possible for me to just boulder and seriously test/biuld my strenght those 3-4 days and do some fun TR routes on the side days without becoming terribly run down in a month or so?

And what other things can I do to start building strength?

I don't think the same person who boulders v3 at 'near max' is climbing rainbow routes on slab to maintain a light pump.

Not clear what you mean.. the slab is too easy or to hard? In any case you are wrong.

To easy, eliminate holds. In fact why even do that? movement training should not be hindered by physical difficulty.

To hard?. Considering most ''rainbow'' slabs can be climbed with no hand holds, such a person is in clear need of doing more slab to learn why that skill eludes them. It does not take v3 over hang pulling power to learn whats a miss.

You're wrong. Sorry to say, but 'movement skills' have to be proof tested to be usable. I can dropknee on V0 all day, but I can't apply it to V10 without using it there.

I strongly believe that sound movement skills are the foundation of climbing improvement. Learning skills the first time on easy terrain, then pushing harder and harder is the only way to learn how to actually use something. So it is clear that physical difficulty is required to actually learn a new skill.

Read the OP agin, then read your post again.

Whatever. You're not seeing the obvious problem with your 'daily climbing program.' Nothing new, you don't understand what you're talking about.

I did not disagree with what you said.. you just failed hard to realise the exact same logic was covered in my other posts.

If you need to feel like you know more and lcimb harder etc etc.. get on with it.. go you.

You seem to pull this 'insult' out pretty frequently.

Sorry I couldn't follow the logic in your earlier post. If I had realized you were suggesting learning movement skills at 5.easy, then Veasy, then Vmoderate, and finally Vhard (grades omitted as 'hard' is relative) then I would have kept my mouth shut.

Unfortunately you didn't say anything about doing this. You just said climb easy stuff, do movement training, then climb harder stuff other days. You went on to say that movement training should not be hindered by physical difficulty, which couldn't be more untrue. Training movement skills requires on learning to use them efficiently on desperate terrain.

I can only pull out of your posts what you put into them.

My point is that the difference between v3 and v0 routes for a someone that has been climbing for a week is gigantic. Most people couldn't get off the ground on a V3 in their first month, certainly not their first week.

I'm not suggesting your advice is bad, just that you guys who are more experienced sometimes forget that v0s aren't a warmup for someone in their first weeks of climbing. More than likely he'll have to project v0s and v1s.
