Then climb the same problem with the other side facing the wall. The two main benefits: a) forces you to think how leg positioning changes depending on your balance and b) lets you practice strange moves and positions you normally wouldn't encounter until reaching harder grades. I do it every now and then and its really strange how I always seem to find some new ideas and learn more about my climbing. No matter what grades I'm currently working on. Maybe you guys could share some of your favorite exercises or (mind) tricks?  I really like the "3 second" training. You climb and whenever you go to the next grip, you hover for 3 second over it with your hand. Obviously, it is really static, but it makes you really aware moving controlled and positioning effectively etc.. I even had routes were I got less pumped this way then when I did the route before normally. Because of all the focus on effective movement. Makes you think what a horrible climber I am sometimes (always) :/ | ||

I've been going like 2 times a week at a climbing gym and my new pair is already starting to get a hole (like 3 months old). I guess the walls at my local gym are very rough which is cool because it gives you nice grip but if you slip you leave a lot of rubber. Probably I could improve the lifetime by improving my footwork though. | ||

When you have good technique you precisely put your feet where they need to be without scratching over the wall or other stuff scraping your shoes. Watch good climbers and see how planned and where they place their hand and feet. | ||
