Super Secret Project

Can Climbing Training Transform Anyone at Age 30?

Welcome to my transformation adventure! As I turn 30, I’m challenging the conventional path of aging by transforming my body and mind through the sport of climbing.

Follow my journey as I document the highs, the lows, and everything in between, proving that it’s never too late to redefine your limits and discover a healthier, stronger self.

And for you climbers out there, I’m taking a unique approach: no mixing climbing with weightlifting or hangboarding—it’s all about climbing-based workouts, all on the wall.

Join me as I climb towards a new horizon, equipped with nothing but determination and the support of the climbing community.


About the Project

A Unique Approach to Climbing and Fitness at 30

Embarking on this transformative journey, I’m not just climbing—I’m reinventing how I train.

Ditching traditional training methods like weightlifting and hangboarding, my regimen is exclusively centered on climbing drills.

These drills are designed to enhance physical strength, agility, and mental acuity, using the climbing wall as my only gym.

Goals and Aspirations

  • Physical Transformation: Each climbing drill is chosen to push my body’s capabilities, maximizing endurance and power solely through climbing movements.
  • Mental Growth: The complexity and variety of drills require not just physical effort but strategic thinking and psychological endurance, fostering a mindset that embraces challenges.
  • Inspiring New Climbers: By documenting this drill-focused approach, I aim to provide a new perspective for climbers who might be looking to break away from conventional routines and explore the full potential of climbing-based training.

Read My Latest Insights

Each week I dive into what I’m learning along the way and it isn’t turning out how I anticipated. From personal reflections to breakthrough moments, follow each step of my “climb to a new self”.
