This or That? Circuit boards vs Roped Climbing

We all know that endurance and power endurance training is incredibly effective on either a circuit board or on a rope inside or outside. But which is most useful? When should we prioritise one over the other? Is it even possible to say that one tool is better than the other? In this episode, host Tom Randall delves into the pros and cons of circuit boards versus roped climbing with the aim of helping you make the best training decisions for your climbing goals. Tom highlights the unique advantages of both training tools and offers valuable insights into how they can be used to complement each other for maximum benefit. Tune in to this episode to gain a better understanding of when to choose circuits and when to choose roped climbing. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced climber, Tom's insights will help you to optimise your training regimen for the best results. The Lattice jingle is brought to you by Devin Dabney, music producer of the outdoor industry who also hosts the American Climbing Project.
