Treadwall Training - Cameron HorstI love my Kore Pro treadwall!

Despite having a decent-sized bouldering wall as part of my home training facility, the treadwall is the most frequently used single piece of training equipment save my Ultimate Hangboard!

A treadwall might seem superfluous for someone with access to a good lead wall or bouldering gym, but I say, emphatically, it is not! Let me tell you why.

When climbing on a bouldering wall or on roped gym routes, the natural approach is to focus on sending problems and routes, respectively. Climbing on a treadwall begs a different approach—it’s more like an exercise machine on which you can employ various training protocols to elicit very specific physiological adaptations for elite-level gains. This empowers you to forget about sending…and instead focus on training for a highly distinct strength, endurance, or power adaptation.

Now let me be clear; as I point out in the two videos below, if you just mindlessly climb on a treadwall until you pump out (a common, but relatively ineffective approach), then you’re basically wasting your time on this amazing training tool. However, if you embark on a training program using some of the specific protocols detailed in the videos below—well then, you’ve just stepped into 21st century training for climbing!
