How To Climb Past the V4 Plateau (From a V4 Climber)

V4 and 5.12a are climbing grades that regularly stump climbers from progressing. I personally have been stuck climbing V4s and 5.11s for the last 8 years, but all of that changed when I started implementing a new routine. The climbing changes I did, as seen in this video, are easy to implement and can result in some serious improvements. I just wish I started doing this routine sooner!

This video just displays my advice and opinions—It may not work for everyone. If you are lacking in technique or endurance, then you may need to focus on other climbing improvements! My main struggles with climbing progression relied largely on finger strength and health.
