Not trying to be a dickhole or anything but that's eleven tips, not ten. I read better than I climb, see #3. |

"8. Smile to yourself before you start up the route because you are in the outdoors having fun. A positive, happy mind and GO FOR IT attitude will do wonders!" |

I just think to blindly tell a n00b to climb harder until you fall, should have been conditioned with "when safe/in the gym/on toprope". My 1 tip to help beginners climb harder: Climb more. That is all it takes. |

As a beginner climber I would have to say the benefits from #6 outweigh the hazards. There are plenty of times when I can identify a no-fall zone on a 6-8. But I was petrified leading, and even on TR climbing until I fell. Falling, I think, is an important part of climbing |
|
Great tips, very applicable. I especially agree with #6. A couple years ago I hit a plateau in the 5.10 range, it wasn't until I decided to just go for it, totally expecting to fall on the balancy moves, that the next few grades opened up for me. |
|
Very helpful tips and I noticed that I use most of them. Although sometimes I don't eat healthy as work, no time etc... |
|
Nice blog post. I love the first few about nutrition. It's something that gets overlooked far too often and is one of the most important aspects of life, on or off the wall. |

1. Don't be attached to normal things like home, family, stable job. |
