This episode is brought to you by Grasshopper Climbing. One of the best things I've ever done for my

0:06.8

own climbing was to build a climbing wall in my garage. It was so easy to stick to a consistent

0:12.1

training schedule. Once I had that thing, I always had really high quality sessions on my own wall

0:17.9

First, you have to design the thing. Then you have to build it. Then you have to figure out which holds you want and order tons of holds and bolts. Then you have to set all the bolder problems and routes. And for you guys, if you have a full-time job or kids, I'm guessing you don't have time to do all that.
