Why You’re Strong Enough… But Still Not Climbing Harder

Most climbers never actually find their limit.

Not because they’re not strong enough… but because they never fully commit to the process required to discover it.

In this episode, I break down what it really takes to climb at your limit - and why projecting isn’t just something you do, but a skill you need to learn.

I'll cover:

• Why fear of failure quietly holds people back
• The difference between commitment and attachment
• Why many climbers are physically capable of more than they realise
• How projecting exposes your true limitations
• The biggest mistakes people make when working routes
• And how to actually build towards a redpoint with structure and intent

I also share my own experiences projecting routes like Rainshadow and Free at Last - including the frustrations, setbacks, and the reality of spending dozens of sessions on something that may or may not go.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, unsure whether you’re capable of more, or frustrated with your progress outdoors… this episode will help you understand why.

If this episode resonates with you, and you want a more structured and integrated approach to your climbing. I help climbers improve real outdoor performance by looking at the full picture - physical, technical, tactical, mental, and lifestyle - so we can identify what’s actually holding you back.
