The length of time we spend working a project often depends on the strength of our projecting game – particularly what we do on those important working attempts. Many of us either keep working things when we should have sent weeks ago, or we cut off the working goes and start redpoint attempts way too early. The best climbers put themselves into send position with fewer working attempts, and know when they are ready to get it done.  So the question is: How can we make better use of our working goes and send hard things faster? _________________________ 🔍 EXPLORE FURTHER You might enjoy these related articles, episodes, and other resources: Climb Your Project Sooner | The Art of Execution The Projecting Strategy Most Climbers Never Learn Board Meetings | Top 3 Redpoint Tactics REMIX | PROCESS _________________________ 🔌 SUPPORT + CONNECT Help us keep the show sponsor-free when you join our Patreon Community for as little as $3.
