Climbing Performance Workshop by Collin McGee, USA.
Understand. Test. Train Smarter.
This full-day workshop is designed for climbers and coaches who want to deepen their understanding of climbing performance, learn evidence-based assessment methods, and apply the results to build more effective training plans.
Part 1: Lecture (~1.5–2 hrs)
A clear, digestible introduction to the foundations of athletic development, tailored for climbers.
Includes:
- Basic anatomy & physiology relevant to climbing performance
- Key exercise principles behind strength, power, and endurance
- Climbing-specific assessments: why we test, how we test, and what the results tell us
- Training organization: What a structured plan looks like across a week, month, and year
Part 2: Finger & Strength Testing (~2–2.5 hrs)
Hands-on testing to benchmark your current level and understand your climbing strengths and weaknesses.
Testing includes:
- Max Strength: Overhead and curl-based assessments
- Contact Strength: Rate of Force Development (RFD) + Dynamic Strength Index (DSI)
- Endurance: Fingerboard repeaters until % force loss
- Power: Pull-ups with velocity-based feedback tools
Participants leave with their personal data and clear insights into what it means.
Part 3: Discussion & Training Application (~2+ hrs)
Turning numbers into action. This session helps you understand what to do next.
We’ll cover:
- Whiteboarding your results and translating them into training priorities
- Designing training sessions both on and off the wall (if a wall is available)
- Group discussion, sample plan building, and final Q&A to cover your individual questions
What You’ll Get:
- A clearer understanding of why and how to train
- A detailed assessment of your current strengths and weaknesses
- Practical tools to personalize your training
- Templates and take-home material to support ongoing progress
Ideal for: Intermediate to advanced climbers, youth athletes, and coaches
Optional: Bring your own training logs or plans if you’d like feedback
Ticket: 190€ +entrance to the gym
