For those who went from sedentary to bouldering, how much have you progressed?
I see a lot of people posting about how they’ve been able to do V5s after a year, which is insane to me. I’m guessing these people either have really good genetics or were already in shape when they started, which honestly, good on them. I (25 F) started bouldering about 1.5 years ago, starting basically at 0. I pretty much had no upper body strength or much muscle in general, living a mostly sedentary lifestyle. I’m so happy I found bouldering, it’s done wonders for my physical health, and I’m now a V3 climber, and hoping to get a V4 done by the end of the year.
I’m curious to hear, for those who weren’t fit before climbing, what level do you climb at now and how long did it take for you to reach that level?
