If You Aren't Making Progress, You're Probably Making Excuses.

I hear them coming from every corner of the gym.  From the mats beneath the boulder.  From 30 feet up the lead wall.  I hear them in the lobby before I even make it into the gym.  No, not the voices in my head.  Those are mostly quiet these days.  What I hear are excuses.  Tons of them.  Never ending.

"I'm too short.  I wish my arms were longer." 

"I'm getting too old to climb hard."

"I climb trad, and that's harder anyway.  5.8 trad is at least as hard as 5.11 sport."

"My schedule is just too crazy to have time to get stronger."

"I climb for love.  Training would kill that."

Blah, blah, blah…

Kris Hampton

A climber since 1994, Kris was a traddie for 12 years before he discovered the gymnastic movement inherent in sport climbing and bouldering.  Through dedicated training and practice, he eventually built to ascents of 5.14 and V11. 

Kris started Power Company Climbing in 2006 as a place to share training info with his friends, and still specializes in working with full time "regular" folks.  He's always available for coaching sessions and training workshops.
