2 years of bouldering
Fantasies about becoming the next Magnus Midtbo aside, bouldering serves to be an excellent way to build upper body strength. 2 years ago I didn't know squat about climbing, but now I can confidently say I'm an intermediate boulderer (v5-6)
Things that have helped:
- That one video by Dave MacLeod about flagging
- Flowy climbing guide by Movement for Climbers, and so many of his videos
- Training videos by Zach and Maddie Richardson
- Tommy Benzing's shenanigans
- Aaron Chan's techniques and sends
