10 Beta Commandments

So, you’re invested. You’ve gone from the rental game to owning your own climbing shoes, the front desk team know your name and Tenzing order, and the key tag they gave you when you first joined has started to fade a little. It’s not just a hobby. It’s a lifestyle now babyyyy.

We aren’t in this sport to play it safe, of course—we want to move up the social fist bump ranks and ascend with our heads held high. So, gather around, my fellow climbers; it's game time.

Here are the Ten Beta Commandments.

1. Consistency is Queen or King or a Joker ( Why does no one ever say Joker!):

In the climbing game, there's no room for slacking. Make climbing a regular gig, let those muscles get used to the grind. Whether you're indoor bouldering or scaling the great outdoors, the more you climb, the more you're gonna own it.

2. Core Power Moves:

Let's get real—you can't climb without a solid core. Amp up your stability and strength with killer moves like planks, leg raises, and exercise ball drills . A rock-solid core not only keeps you balanced but also saves your arms and legs from feeling the burn too soon.

3. You have 99 Problems..adding another 1 won’t Hurt:

Ditch the climbing monotony. Switch up your problems—hit those overhangs, slabs, and cracks. Challenge different muscle groups, and watch how you become a beast at handling whatever the rock throws your way.

4. Messi Footwork? Let’s Clean It Up:

Your feet are your secret weapon. Nail down precise foot placements, work those footholds, and trust your steps. Slow it down, keep it controlled—that's how you finesse your footwork game.

5. Goals, Goals, Goals:

You gotta have targets that don’t just sound good on paper. Crush a specific route, get a little higher than yesterday—set goals that light that fire under you. Small wins add up to big victories.

6. Grip and Rip:

Your grip is your lifeline, fam. Throw in grip-strengthening drills, forearm curls, and fingerboard action. A strong grip isn't just about holding on—it's about owning the climb and preventing those injuries.

7. Fall Like a Pro:

Fear of falling? Nah, we getting over that in 2024. Learn how to fall like a boss, roll with it. Mastering controlled falls boosts your confidence and lets you push boundaries without the jitters.

8. Recover Like You Mean It:

Climbing wrecks your body—in a good way. Give it the TLC it deserves. Rest well, hydrate, and throw in some stretching or yoga. Flexibility keeps you nimble, and fewer injuries mean more time on the wall.

9. Get Schooled, Get Feedback:

Don’t be shy to ask the pros. Join a community, cough cough Clmbxr, soak up that knowledge. Feedback is your secret weapon—it’s the shortcut to climbing greatness.

10. Mind Over Matter:

Climbing ain't just muscles; it's a mind game. Stay positive, learn from the falls, and celebrate every step forward. Resilience is your ticket to those summit vibes.

Bonus one.

11. Record everything. Your life is a movie.

Record everything. It’s not a vanity trip but a real way to learn, make adjustments, and level up. Plus if you’re lucky your crush might heart it on the gram.
