But, intimidated by the steep walls and strength-sapping moves of bouldering caves, most novice climbers spend all their time toproping at gyms. Here is a fun, effective two-hour workout that will help new boulderers get into the sport with minimal risk of frustration, overtraining, and persistent failure often associated with the infamous indoor bouldering wall.
Success breeds success.
Applying this mantra, you'll use the first hour of your workout to develop the skills necessary to do harder moves. The more difficult moves you complete successfully, the more techniques you will learn and the faster your body will adapt to new challenges. Thus the goal is to find problems that are difficult enough to test your limits, but easy enough to complete within that first hour. Avoid problems that you can do on the first or second try. They are too easy.
