I had the opportunity to train on the speed wall this week and wanted to share with you my experience and what I learned as an average climber who.

the progression when doing it regulary is actually insane. in the beginning its possible to get like 10-15 seconds improvement^^

Thanks for the explanation. There is a speed wall at my local gym and I have been thinking of learning to speed climb but didnt really know where to start as i would be doing it statically.

I started climbing in March, and can already speed climb faster than Magnus. I have come to the conclusion that a lot of the progression is just sheer willpower and focus.

1. Every time you do the speedwall, you have to think about what move you can optimize.

2. You just have to seriously jump on many of the sections.

3. Forget about falling, give it your all every time.

4. Try not to copy the pros at first, spend your time getting to know the wall, where the holds are, and to use the wall

Thanks for sharing - my wife and I are going to try it at our local gym! We don't know what we're doing, but let's see what happens :D

Just tried speed climbing course for the first time ever today. What a cool little thing!!! Going to incorporate it into my weekly workout. It's much easier than i thought initially. Loved it!!

If it helps you feel better, you would complete the climb 5 times before I finish once! I also fell 4 times before I was able to get to the top.

I don't really get speed climbing. It just seems pointless to do the same route over and over. But I'd like to learn more about it because maybe I'm missing something

Having proper climbing technique makes you a worse speed climber, unfortunately.
