In colder climates, for example Canada, indoor climbing during the winter will give you that edge needed for summer 5.12+ climbing. This is a sample of my winter training regime. Here in Alberta you are pretty well guaranteed 8 months of snow before the regular climbing season begins. Don’t get me wrong, you can slip in some days here and there during Chinooks, but they are inconsistent and irregular. This training regime works great for me; my first climbs of the year are often in the 12c range (on good days this includes onsite!). I am by no means a naturally good climber. I only accomplish these grades with hard work. If you want more tips on training you may find this link helpful. http://www.kevinsaddictions.com/the-winter-training-guide-for-five-twelve-climbing.php

So, would it be safe to say a climber who is *somewhat* of a "naturally good climber" could start the season off with some 13c/d stuff using your methods?

Winter is for Hill slidin', ain't it?

Kevins a dic to ions and protons and various other supple particles. Lots of 12 0z. curls and wrist twists are what gets me through a soggy Seattle winter. Don't worry. Everything is as it should be. Live Upfull.

You guys are right I definitely forgot to ad the beer and donuts. Unfortunately they are the vary reason that I am not a naturally good climber. The grade doesn’t really matter you will improve at your own pace. Proudly I have a drinking problem and I don’t need the Calgary Mtn Club’s help.

Masturbating furiously should be saved for one sleep after your work out as it will deplete your valuable protein reserves. Hoipolloi, I wish I lived in California and I will definitely add pics to my training page. Thanks..

I’m curious. What do you guys do for training and how often do you train if at all?
