💬COMMUNITY FEEDBACK

Real Climbers Say...

💡 Community Insights:

"Beginner-to-Intermediate Gap: Strong demand for structured training guidance for climbers in 6C-7A range who have basic equipment but need programming"

"Grade-Specific Training Needs: The 6C-7A (roughly V5-V6/5.11-5.12) grade range represents a critical transition point where climbers recognize that technique alone isn't sufficient and strength training becomes necessary."
