7 Ways to Not Get Burned Out on Rock Climbing
Do you find yourself getting burned out on rock climbing? Year after year I see all kinds of people join our climbing community and become completely addicted to rock climbing. It doesnt take long though for a lot of these climbers to get burned out.
It is kinda strange they become so psyched and all of a sudden you stop seeing them around the gym and at the crag.
Well have much contemplation and application I have finally figured out how to stay totally psyched on climbing without ever getting burned out.
First what is it that burns rock climbers out?
The two biggest reasons that climbers get burned out are a lack of variety in their climbing and the fact that they never take a break from rock climbing.
So now that we understand that let me give you the 7 ways to not get burned out on rock climbing.
1. Climb with rock climbers that are motivating you and that you have fun with. It is essential that those you climb with motivate you and make climbing fun for you. Nothing is worse than climbing with someone that is constantly complaining and killing your psyche. I also find that I like to climb with people that like to joke around a lot. It makes it a lot more fun for me.
2. Get out of the darn gym. I know gym is great you have the project in there but a lot of people become burned out because they are gym rats. Get your butt out of the gym, get out in nature and climb outside. I do not care how far from the crag you are I used to have to drive 6+ hours one way to go climbing outside. Trust me just do it.
