I’m sick of climbing the same routes at my local gym
I’m a beginner climber and my gym sets the same routes for low grades in different fonts. It’s all big jugs straight up the wall. More overhang = higher grade, worse foot holds = higher grade, but it’s all completely straight forward and whether you ascend or not just comes down to strength. The jump to the next grade is massive cause they start throwing in heel hooks and dynos and fun stuff but it’s all way too hard for the level I’m at. It’s frustrating cause I’m doing drills outside of climbing to try to actually improve my climbing by working on footwork, body positioning, and use of momentum, but the boulders are just straight up on jugs. I feel bored and like I’m just waiting to get stronger to move on to more interesting challenges. But is this kind of route setting normal? Does your gym have any low-level boulders that aren’t so straightforward?
