Why Resetting Your Wall Keeps Climbing Fresh

If you’ve been climbing on the same problems week after week, you’ve probably noticed your sessions start to feel stale. That’s because climbing is all about problem-solving—and when the problems stop changing, so does the challenge.

At Ledge Climbing, we handcraft holds in small batches that are perfect for freshening up your wall and sparking new creativity.


Why Resetting Matters

  • Keeps Motivation High – New problems mean new excitement.

  • Trains New Skills – Different hold types and movement patterns develop well-rounded strength.

  • Prevents Plateaus – Changing your routes forces your body (and brain) to adapt.

  • Community Builder – If you climb with friends or family, resetting gives everyone something new to project.


How to Refresh Your Wall

1. Change Hold Types
Swap out jugs for slopers, or add crimps to test finger strength.

2. Adjust Angles
Try setting traverses, steep overhang problems, or balance-focused slabs.

3. Experiment with Volumes
Even small features can make old walls feel brand new.

4. Rotate Holds Regularly
Set a reset schedule—every 4–6 weeks is a great cadence to keep things challenging.
