Visualization as a recipe for success in climbing

As part of his video series, Adam Ondra shows how important route memory is in competitions and for rock climbing.

When climbing, studying movement sequences and mental preparation can make a big difference. In this case, one speaks of visualization, a technique that significantly helped Adam Ondra climb the first 9c route in the world. But he also uses the technology in competitions.

Visualization is important to me during training if I cannot climb rocks in my project and competitions are indispensable.
