In rock climbing, as in many other areas of human activity, if you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've got. That usually means doing the same old climbs or operating at the same rock climbing grades. And, if that's what you want, then that's absolutely fine.


But, if you want to rock climb better - or harder - then you're going to have to do something differently. That means stepping out of your comfort zone. And, that can be a little daunting. Comfort zones are, well, comfortable. It's easy to stay in them.Yet, if you're going to climb differently, something's got to give.


You might be proficient at trad rock climbing at E2/5.10. How are you going to make the transition to climbing E3/5.11? There are lots of ways but probably they're ones you haven't tried. You could just try some E3 and 5.11 climbs (well protected ones, please) and see what happens. Or you could put a top-rope down some E3s or 5.11s and see what they're like. Or you could second some and see what they're like. Or you could get on some F6cs (5.11b) and harder at a climbing wall and see how you could get on. Or you could practise your footwork, develop technique and gain power to do much harder moves. Or you could use meditation and visualisation to keep your mind focussed on much harder climbs.


The point is this: you're going to have to do something different. It may be slightly different or it may be radically different. It may be one thing or it may be a bundle of things. For instance, if you're a trad climber who is better on walls than cracks but loves hard, well-protected routes, then learning to climb eminently protectable cracks may be a useful tactic. But whatever you do, it's going to have to be something different. And you're going to have to practise it in conditions of relative safety. You wouldn't learn to shoot with live ammunition, would you?


Stepping out of your comfort zone in search of something better doesn't just apply to rock climbing. It works, in all of your life. But please - always go carefully.
