Do you want to climb harder outside? Do you train for climbing indoors but want to learn to climb better on rock? Is Outdoor climbing harder than indoor climbing for you? Don’t worry, because this is normal! Even the very best climbers in the world struggle to transfer bouldering or sport climbing indoors to climbing on real rock. Fingerboard training for rock climbing doesn’t always translate, and even being able to do a one finger one arm pull up like Magnus Midtbo doesn’t mean you’ll be able to climb hard on real rock.
