Ah, yes... This is the Beast Mode way. "Train your weakness, so it becomes your strength."
I'm going to start finding stuff I suck at, learn about it, and figure it out. If I still suck after that, well, then thats on me.
Time to embrace the suck.
Five things I suck at (currently):
This will have to do with Lead Climbing:
Z-Clipping
*Update 4-27-2024:
Well, just finished our lead test. Had to review this, this morning, and found a great video explaining it. Check it out:

Clipping in at the anchors
*Update 4-27-2024:
I've been practicing on our door. The post below this shows what I've been doing. So far, it works for me.
Getting set up to be lowered outside
*Update 4-27-2024:
This will just take some research and practice. Its been a while, but I know the concept for the most part. I'll make a video soon about it.
Stick Clipping
*Update 4-27-2024:
Got a stick clip in KY. Practiced outside on the tree... There are a few small details to make it easy to use... I'll try to put them in another post coming soon. It has to do with how you load your rope, I think...
Rescue during a Lead Climb
*Update 4-27-2024:
I've been looking at the Self Rescue book... Haven't linked it all together... But think since passing our test and trying to indoor lead climbs, it will click a little better.
