LEARN. GROW. EXCEL.
Power Company Climbing began as a source of information for helping climbers improve.
We’ve expanded, but that mission is still at the heart of what we do.
Alex Megos once said that conditions don’t matter, but we all know that’s not true… or is it?
We are rarely in a position to take advantage of what we're physically capable of if we can’t shift our mindsets.
There’s one often overlooked thing that has the power to positively – or negatively – affect every single day of climbing for the rest of your life.
If a lot of your climbing is done outdoors, it might make sense to use some of that time for training rather than performance.
Toe-hooking can seem more like sorcery than other techniques, but you’re probably just going about it the wrong way.
All roads (or rabbit holes) lead back to effort. On and off the wall, in preparation, practice, and performance – all the time.

Implementing this one simple thing can result in big performance gains in your climbing, no matter what level you’re at.
Become a better boulderer by learning to avoid these three common mistakes that many beginners are making.
How do you know what a weakness is? Is it just what we think we’re bad at? Based on what?

Big moves on boards won’t help you build this skillset that can help boulderers break through common grade plateaus.
It can mean the difference between being plateaued forever and breaking through quickly into harder grades.
Using one simple question, we can continue to progress and move past the common bottlenecks in grading.
Returning to the common sense of how and why we do this thing should be common practice – but it rarely is.

Our Finger File was designed and shaped with a climber’s hands in mind - specifically built to make skin maintenance easier.
It’s lightweight and ergonomic in design, handcrafted in solid wood and features a long lasting grit sanding surface. The wide flat area allows for easy sanding of bigger callouses. The smaller edges make quick work of pad callouses and can even get into the smallest of creases, where those annoying splits like to hide. The smooth wood on the interior means those tips not being worked on don’t have to deal with any painful accidental sanding.
Medium Grit is suggested for drier skin and most maintenance. Fine Grit is suggested for wetter skin and fine tuning.
Pair includes 1 Medium Grit + 1 Fine Grit.
A hard truth is still a truth.

Maybe it’s you.
