What up Skool friends, just published my Route Planning 101 video, 10 minutes long This is how I think about planning before and between climbs. Hope this helps you! Watch below, this will also live in the "classroom" section here in Skool Enjoy :) p.s. if you have friends you want to join the group feel free to share www.nextgradeacademy.com it will direct them here :)

Just curious. I found when I started climbing often I started caring about what I ate, how late I stayed out and how much I drank for example. It definitely helped me become a healthier person in general. Anyone else find the same? How have you seen climbing impact your overall health?

I always love asking people this story, curious what got you all in this crazy world

1. Home gym is The Pad in Binghamton, NY. I travel to Washington DC quarterly and still determining a "home away from home" gym (movement crystal city is what I'm leaning towards) 2. Hoping to learn technique. I'm at the point where I know the basics but I want to have a more refined climbing style. 3. I want to flash a v3 climb this year. I can flash v2s at home and at other gyms but I definitely need multiple sessions to figure out the v3 routes. 4. I love the puzzle aspect. Mentally it gets me off of screens and I spend an hour just being present in what I'm doing.

Hi everyone, nice to meet you! I’m currently climbing around southern Ontario. I’m just finishing up my bachelors degree. I’m hoping to learn more about climbing and keep getting better. I am looking forward to this small community and learning more about climbing around the world. A climbing goal is to comfortably climb 5.11+. I love climbing because it’s physical but builds functional muscles as opposed to just aesthetic and is problem solving.
