at the end of the day i think you just have to be psyched. you have to WANT to be a good climber. not just thinking 'yeah it would be nice to be strong', you have to want it. first things first IMO is try to stay away from 'hanging' in gyms. you wont find any inspiration in a gym. looking at the latest 'black' route is no substitution to standing under Serpentine. yes they are a good place for people who are working etc to go. but if you really wanted to climb 32 you wouldn't work a job that gave you 4 weeks a year.

one of the best things ive been told is to write out a list of what you want to acheive. have short term and long term goals. this gives you a reason to train etc.
