A new 22-pitch climb has been established on a big wall in Brazil, graded at 5.13. This exciting addition to the climbing landscape opens up new possibilities for climbers seeking adventure in South America.
The establishment of a new 22-pitch, 5.13 route in Brazil significantly enriches the climbing options available for both local and international climbers. High-difficulty climbs like this push boundaries, creating not just a destination for those ready to test their skills, but also engaging metrics to strive for during training. Each pitch of this route demands exceptional finger strength for grasping small holds and an emphasis on endurance, as climbers will need the physical capacity to persist over long, sustained climbs. Incorporating these elements into your training can help enhance your performance when attempting long routes where endurance and grip strength are crucial.
This week, focus on improving your endurance by integrating interval climbing workouts into your training sessions. Aim to climb a moderate route repeatedly, tracking your time, and gradually increasing the difficulty to prepare yourself for taxing long climbs like the new 22-pitch ascent in Brazil.
Take your climbing to the next level with evidence-based training programs designed for all skill levels.
