Ive been climbing for about 5 years and am stuck in the 5.10 range. How long would you anticipate it should take a 5.10a climber to achieve 5.12s?

Hi Scott, It’s tough to say how long it will take to get to 5.12a since it depends on many things including time available, dedication, current physical ability, self-awareness and smarts (among other things). The key is to train smart (focus on your weaknesses) and to get out climbing 2 or 4 days per week (indoors and/or out). Working to improve all aspects of your game—mental, technical, and physical—is the ultimate secret to getting good fast. Good luck!
