0:00.0	This episode is brought to you by Grasshopper Climbing. I've had so many great conversations on the podcast
0:07.7	with high-level climbers. And one thing that keeps coming up again and again when it comes to getting
0:13.0	better at climbing is consistency. There's no magic hangboard program or bouldering routine that
0:19.0	is going to get you super duper strong in six weeks.
0:22.2	The key to making lasting gains in your strength and your climbing technique is consistency,
0:27.7	just climbing and training regularly for years and years. But consistency is hard. If you have kids
0:34.4	or live in a city or work a nine to five job and only have evenings free to train and have to compete with crowds at the gym, it can be really hard to stick to a consistent schedule.
0:44.4	Luckily, the folks at Grasshopper climbing designed the perfect solution.
0:48.4	The Grasshopper board was designed to give you an entire climbing gym experience right in your home.
0:53.8	And the best part, they did such a good
0:55.3	job with the hold shaping and layout, that the grasshopper board will be right for you, whether you
0:59.6	are a total beginner, intermediate climber, or you're advanced or even pushing the limits in climbing V-15.
1:07.6	It's so efficient, it's so good for training. And most importantly, it's so much fun to
