I started this competition climbing grades 14-15-16. I had plenty of leg strength and a few skills, but with no upper body strength what so-ever, the minute a route became overhung and gravity kicked in, I was toast!
What a huge difference 14 weeks of upper body weight training has made.
Tonight I not only climbed a grade 20, I also climbed a 21 and 22!!!!
Just call me SpiderMan!
