I don't think I'm that far off climbing 6a I just need to get a solid 6a problem done and I'm sure I'll gain more confidence and the grade will come tumbling down.
do think part of my problem is technique
One thing I don't want to do is begin to start beating problems in to submission though...
My top secret training device is a piece of ply wood about 3 foot high by 4 foot wide which I have in my garage covered in a range of slopy holds. Rather than mounting it in the air and hanging from it I have it set up at a slabby angle on the ground. I then jump onto it with both feet at the same time and try and land in balance on the footholds without using my hands. Doing this is very frustrating and hard but it will give you killer balance andordination with your feet.
