Hey r/climbharder
Coming up I've got about 4 months with absolutely nothing on. I can do as I please. Naturally I'd like to dedicate a lot of time to climbing, even more than now. Currently I hangboard, do one arm pull up variations and core 3x a week and climb twice. With the schedule:
Monday - Training Tuesday - Training Wednesday - Rest Thursday - Climbing Friday - Training Saturday - Rest Sunday - Climbing
I've had great success with this, bouldering up to 8A outside. My deliberation now is do I spend more time climbing outside or do I keep my current schedule and try to be outside on my climbing days as much as possible or do I switch it up? I think that I would loose strength if I just climbed but of course climbing would be good for my technique. I'd like to get stronger over the summer so feel like I'd need to keep 3 training days a week as well. I could climb outside and train on the same day but I'd need to be careful to not injure myself. Anyone got any advice? It's a great problem to have I know!

Go on a trip somewhere you've always been dreaming of.. What are you training for if not times like these!
-
Surely all the training is for times like this when the weather is decent and you have the time to get stuck into the hard stuff.
Hangboard and core are really good after days out when you don't feel worked. Climbing outside 2/3 times a week won't make you weak at climbing outside which is surely what you're trying to build strength for anyway?
Just go for it and fit it in training as and when you can
-
Assuming this is not trolling.... do what you like most.
-
how about fuck off and die
I had heard swearing makes you stronger.

Do you like climbing? Go climbing.
Unless you prefer training as an end in itself, in which case do that. #whatwouldNibsdo

;D
If I pause to think to all the training I could do in four months without work... Wow! It would be amazing. I could try so many mental combinations, and maybe I could also climb another board project!
But that would be the third this season, it ain't gonna happen anyway.
Three projects in a season? Ahahah! Who wants soft grades here?

Are you stronger than you are technically good at climbing? Probably, given your training focus? If so, maximise your time and climb loads. If you're already a technical wizard but lack a bit of strength, maybe you could spend half your time off cranking up the training then the other half climbing.

Also depends where you live. If you live somewhere where it's not easy to climb outdoors I would.. relocate.
