Rock climbing coaching breaks a grade plateau by finding the one thing holding you back, whether that is sloppy footwork, poor projecting tactics or a head that shuts down above the last bolt. Here is how coaching diagnoses your real weakness, the three pillars we drill, and a realistic cycle from stuck at 6b to a 6c+ redpoint.

Patxi Usobiaga is the first climber in history to onsight 8c+ — he did it in 2007 on Bizi Euskaraz at Etxauri, Spain — and he's since coached climbers like Adam Ondra and Chris Sharma. A MUERTE is a six-day performance camp built around his personal training system, for climbers stuck at a grade plateau who want a professional diagnosis of exactly what's holding them back.
The Performance Lab is a two-week technique and mental coaching camp designed by Rockbusters founder Jany Novotny and coached by Klemen Becan, a climber who has sent multiple 9a+ routes. It's built for one specific problem: climbers who train consistently but have stopped seeing grade improvement.
Why training before a climbing trip pays off, plus Marta Palou's free four-week plan for three levels: dead-hangs, bouldering, pull-ups, core and stretching.
