0:04.8	I've had a lot of great conversations lately on the podcast,
0:08.6	and one thing that keeps coming up again and again when it comes to getting better at climbing is consistency.
0:15.1	There's no magic hangboard program or bouldering routine that is going to get you super-duper strong in six weeks. The key to making lasting gains in your strength and climbing technique is consistency,
0:25.6	just climbing and training regularly for years and years.
