Happy New Year! 

Now lets get back to normal

If you're like most of us here at the gym, the holiday season means less actual climbing and more talking about climbing while eating delicious, mouth-watering, butter-soaked, sugar-encrusted, calorie-packing, waist-line-expanding, thank-you-grandma-but-I-can't-eat-another-ok-one-more, treats. 

And its hard, I know. 

At most holiday parties they put those mass produced, tired looking vegetable trays right next to the fresh baked, homemade treats table. That's a real no-brainer. It's like winning an all expense paid trip to either Ice Climb in Antarctica or to Sport Climb in Thailand. 

I'll take Thailand.

But it's over, so lets get back to normal... no, better than normal. 

First things first, we've got to figure out what we're going to get better at. If you don't have a goal, it's like fishing with just a hook. 

Climbing guru Eric Hörst explains in Training for Climbing:The Definitive Guide to Improving Your Performance that goal setting first starts with self-assessment. Once we know where we are in our climbing it's easier to know where we want to go. 

After we know where we want to be, we have to take action and be willing to make course corrections along the way. The taking action and making course corrections part is where we here at SBRG can help out. We offer amazing FREE members clinics on the last Monday of every month and want to offer things you're interested in learning. 

SO ASK US!

If your goal is to boulder harder, climb longer, or onsight radder(!?!) we can help, we want to help. Just ask us to hold a free members clinic on the subject you're interested in.

And one more thing about reaching goals. Every one needs an account-a-bil-a-buddy, someone who will hold you accountable for and ask how those goals are coming. 

Who better than your climbing accoun-a-bil-a-buddies at SBRG!!
