Janja's Bibliographie breakthrough
Janja Garnbret has joined the Bibliographie club.
The Slovenian climber sent the 35-metre 9b+ in Céüse on her fifth trip to the route, making only the sixth ascent of one of sport climbing's hardest endurance tests [Quelle: 8a.nu]. The route packs over 80 technical moves into one wall and demands the kind of mental stamina that doesn't come from power training alone. Garnbret's send marks a shift in her climbing—less rushing into projects, more patience and breath work at the crux.
Patience is the hardest move to learn.
The projecting craft
Projecting is rarely taught, but it can be learned.
Most climbers pick it up through trial and error—or worse, by copying sends they see on social media without understanding the underlying rhythm [Quelle: Climbing Magazine]. Real projecting means breaking the route into phases, rehearsing the hard sequences, and resetting between burns with intention rather than desperation. The craft separates climbers who plateau from climbers who keep sending.
Worth the deliberate practice.
Seven easy fixes for stalled sends
Small habits can quietly sabotage your climbing.
Climbing Magazine's breakdown of seven common progression mistakes covers the usual culprits: skipping warm-ups, ignoring antagonist strength, training through fatigue, and prioritizing ego sends over process [Quelle: Climbing Magazine]. Most aren't novel, but catching yourself in one costs months of progress. The meta-skill is noticing when you've slipped into pattern.
Worth a honest audit.
