When I first started climbing, in my first year I climbed almost exclusively on indoor walls, never climbed with anyone better than me, and did a lot of top-roping on routes - I think these were very poor foundations on which to build.
Yeah, I've got the Self-Coached Climber, but I find it very difficult to self-analyse body position problems, which is the main way for improving technique. I suspect that as a legacy of having a dodgy back, I don't activate my core properly and thus rely much too much on upper body rather than using all my muscles together.
I feel that either I'm going to resign myself to the idea that I am fundamentally weak, injury prone and rubbish at climbing, or try to overcome it and 'unlearn what I have learned' in order to get better.
but I don't understand how I can go from onsighting F6c+ then to falling off F6b
