In my coaching and consultations with climbers, it’s become pretty obvious that there are common bouldering grade plateaus at around V4, V6 or 7, and V9 or 10, and that the vast majority of stuck boulderers fall into these three ranges.

There is a single, relatively small skillset that can help climbers break through these common bouldering grade plateaus – or even avoid them altogether.

And it's a skill you're often rewarded for AVOIDING in the gym...

After working with thousands of sport climbers, I’ve noticed a pattern of climbers getting stuck at around 11c, then 12b, and again at 13a. One of the hallmarks of routes at these grade bottlenecks is that it gets harder to find stable positions. The climber who hopes to move further will need to be comfortable in that instability.

And while it's tempting to think that getting stronger is always the answer, in reality it’s only part of the equation...
