did you do anything particularly hard this last fall?
I have often hear experienced climbers say that you can boulder at about 7A simply by climbing as much as you can. Was wondering how far UKB member got grade wise with this approach.

My local wall, (i'd consider it a good quality modern bouldering wall) only sets up to v9/10 max. So how exactly do you propose I get to v14 from with 3 good quality sessions?

I guess is depends on what your mean by "training". I have twice started keeping a log on Powerclub and failed within about 3 weeks. I do "think " about what I need to do to get better. I have dabbled with fingerboards, campus etc. But really, I just fuck about and climb.

So that was about my own experience, and what I've seen with loads of people. Just going climbing, whether down the wall or outside, will get most people to about 7B+/7C with some goal setting, working problems, learning technique, etc. if you start young enough and with a decent active background.

For those that would say they do 'train' at what grade did you start and why?Thanksedit training for this purpose being defined as anything more structured that climbing as much as you can

You actively think about improving, with some degree of follow through.
