Coach Alex Stiger joins Neely to break down what a "plateau" actually is — because most climbers lump together very different problems under that one word, and that's part of why it's so hard to get unstuck.
In this episode:
The three patterns of progress: linear, growth-spurt, and wave
Four types of plateaus — psych, strength, grade, and mental — and why the fix is different for each
Why some plateaus don't need fixing at all
Zooming out before zooming in: consistency, overusing what already worked, trap grades, recovery, and structure
Alex's story of climbing better while getting weaker, and what that reveals about false narratives
Practical tools to progress in every session
Why changing your partner, gym, or discipline is one of the fastest ways out of a rut
