Do you keep a climbing tick list keeping track of all the routes and boulder problems you send? While some climbers are not concerned with keeping track of their climbs, I personally love having a tick list and being able to look back and be reminded of routes and boulders I would have otherwise forgotten. While these trips down memory lane are definitely nice, keeping a tick list can actually benefit your climbing in substantial ways.
Here’s an article by Mary from Crux Crush that talks about four ways that keeping a tick list can help your climbing:
- Goal Setting
- Tracking Progress
- Observing Trends
- Reminiscing
Mary discusses each of these four benefits and then goes on to talk about the best ways to keep a tick list. She covers keeping a tick list in a climbing journal as well as most of the online platforms that allow you to log your climbs. Take a look at the full article bellow. It’s a good reminder about how tracking your climbing and training can give you valuable information to help you improve.
