TAPED TIPS | Boulder Harder With This Simple Stability Technique

TAPED TIPS | The Technique Error Holding Sport Climbers Back: Embracing Instability
After working with thousands of sport climbers, I’ve noticed a pattern of climbers getting stuck at around 11c, then 12b, and again at 13a. One of the hallmarks of routes at these grade bottlenecks is that it gets harder to find stable positions. The climber who hopes to move further will need to be comfortable in that instability.
