If you haven’t checked in on speed climbing since the last Olympics, let’s just say that the sport is having a serious moment. Times are dropping at an unprecedented rate in both the men’s and women’s races.

Training tips from three of the world’s best speed climbers on how to get started, get better, and get insanely strong at speed climbing.

Speed climbing world record holder Sam Watson is the newest member of Team TRUBLUE! By the time you’re reading this, Sam has probably already broken his own world record pace, but, as it stands today, 4.79 is the mark to beat.

The Boys & Girls Club of Stamford offers a variety of youth programs for around 1,600 kids in the community. Last fall, with the help of 1Climb, it added a new activity to the list: indoor rock climbing.

How Arvada Fire uses TRUBLUE to train for realistic ladder bailouts, victim removal exercises, combat challenges, CPAT, and any other training exercises where they need a safety line in place of a belay.
