HARD!

Most climbers think they're trying hard, but trying hard is actually a skill and most people aren't training it.

I'm here in Oliana at the moment and I have a project just up there up there.

It's requiring a lot of try hard from me.

I think the challenge level feels a little too high still

so although there's some moments where I'm in flow on my

attempts there's also some moments where I've really got to dig deep and try really hard.

Some of my best climbing experiences have been in flow where everything feels almost effortless

and automatic and you're totally absorbed in what you're doing.

I sent routes like Mind Control and Fisheye here at this crag and they were flow experiences.

But there's another state that sports science calls clutch.

In this state you're really focused and absorbed in the task so you're really present but it feels high effort,

high strain, high perceived difficulty and that's the difference between clutch and flow.

Oh my god.

Oliana is the home of a lot of hard climbing and

because of that you have a lot of good climbers climb at this crag trying really hard.

In climbing you might have heard the phrase amwete which means to the death.

The best climbers don't just know how to flow, they also fight really hard.

and often both states can be accessed on the same climb.

The best climbers are also the best at trying hard.

The nuance here is that trying hard isn't just about more effort, it's about the right level of activation to be efficient.

Trying hard isn't just about intensity, it's about useful intensity.

Sometimes the challenge level really demands high activation, focus and determination.

Some climbers are under aroused which means they never really switch on

and get their energy levels up to the place they need to be for the task.

So what exactly is trying hard?

Trying hard isn't just about how much you can power scream or grunt, although power screaming is a fun part of trying hard.

It's not a performance, it's a state of mind and body activation.

I like to think of it as a form of expression.

Sometimes you're trying your absolute hardest and it doesn't look dramatic from the outside

and it's kind of irritating when someone tells you to just try harder when you know you already are.

For me try hard are those moments when you fall

or you manage to send with everything committed

so all of your inner resources are focused in an effortful way to stay on the wall

or those moments when you surprise yourself with how improbable it is that you're staying on.

You maybe hold a hold that you thought there was no chance that you could catch.

Or you feel like you're coming off but you're still on.

And it's not just all about physical resources, but it's also about mental capacity too.

You're completely focused on the task at hand, your mind is only directed towards that task.

And usually when I feel like that, I'm content even if I fall, because I know that I've given it everything.

Alright, so if trying hard is a skill, how do we train it?

There are three things that I see over and over again that stop climbers from developing this skill.

The first one is stop saving it for when it matters.

Most climbers don't practice trying hard.

They save it for the red points and of a project that only happens a few times a year.

But that's not many reps.

If you only try hard when it matters, you won't be able to access it reliably.

You need to try hard on routes you might not send, in a training context, on climbs that don't matter much for you, on moves that feel out of reach.

If you can't try hard when it doesn't matter, why would you expect to access it when it does?

The second thing is to fix your relationship with failure.

The mistake people make is thinking that really wanting to send will be enough to try hard.

But actually it can cause you to give up and that's for a few reasons.

One is that the more you want it, the more you fear not getting it, the more anxious you get.

And carrying fear of failure up a route is like carrying a weight vest.

If you're thinking about the chains halfway up, you're not fully invested in the move that you're on

and you can't try hard on that move if half your brain is anxious about sending.

The other reason is that focusing too much on the outcome means that you don't value that one more move

unless you're sure you can send.

So I've found that people with this mindset say take more often, They don't train try hard and they don't surprise themselves.

Sometimes I've climbed with that just one more move mentality and managed to unsight my hardest route,

an 8a plus that was actually graded 8b slash plus in the guide.

I had no sense that I could have done it.

In order to try hard you need to value trying hard in and of itself not just for the send.

Trying hard requires full attention in the present, not thinking about the outcome.

Trying hard exposes you, it feels vulnerable sometimes because

when you give everything you remove the excuse and you show your commitment for everyone to see.

If you fall you really fell and that can feel uncomfortable.

A lot of that comes down to motivation.

If you're climbing mainly for external outcomes, the grade, the validation, proving something, not looking stupid, then every move carries risk.

Because when you're scared to fail, you make failure more meaningful.

A fail says something about you as a climber.

But if your motivation is intrinsic, if you genuinely value the effort itself, then trying hard becomes easier and you're able to tap into a deeper level of try hard.

With this mindset, effort becomes the reward, not just the mechanism.

And this is exactly how it feels for me.

It's for those moments of clutch and flow that I climb.

When this is your big why, the reason why you go climbing, then it's so much more natural to tap into that try hard.

The third thing is to remove fear of falling as a barrier.

So unfortunately it's almost impossible to try hard on lead or on top rope or on bouldering if you're scared to fall.

Fear of falling prevents you from climbing at your physical limit, either at all or in certain situations like a height above a bowl or crash pad.

If that feels like you, then you really need to think about doing some full practice, but please get guidance with it because it's very easy to get it wrong.

If you want to access TriHard quickly, you can take a few short, sharp breaths with a focus on the inhale.

This essentially brings your arousal levels up.

And it works better for bouldering or hard cruxes on a climb when maximising aerobic efficiency is less of a factor.

You can also use a mantra, listen to kind of intense music that gets you into that higher energy state.

Not even tired.

But the main thing though is motivation.

Are you motivated to try hard because you like trying hard?

If that's the case then you don't need to worry about these tricks.

Alright so why does all this matter?

I'm not a particularly strong climber but I've managed to get up a lot of climbs by tapping into certain performance states, especially flow and clutch.

If I couldn't do that then there's no way I would have been a professional climber.

I haven't always been this good at trying hard and it's been a skill that I've developed over time.

Every time you go near your edge, you expand your capacity to go there again.

But the main thing I've developed is the love of trying hard

and it's that motivation that is the best thing for accessing that state.

Here's a little paradox.

Trying hard is also letting go.

100

So there's kind of like a deeper layer here.

101

Clutch isn't about forcing.

102

Sometimes you try so hard not to fall that you overthink every move, you overgrip, you don't flow efficiently between moves.

103

So accessing states like flow and clutch and try hard can be like kind of surrendering into the effort.

104

It's letting your body climb, trusting your intuition.

105

It's hard to explain how trying hard can also be a form of letting go, but that is kind of how it feels.

106

It's full commitment, focus and effort, but without forcing.

107

Hey guys, if you're into this stuff, I have a whole free webinar on how to access flow

108

and clutch so that you can climb at your best and have a great time doing it.

110

The most memorable moments in climbing aren't the easy ones, they're the battles, the all out fights where you don't know if you'll stay on but you keep trying anyway.

111

Working hard isn't a trait, it's not something you have or don't have,

112

it's a skill and it's a skill that's easier to develop with an underlying mindset and you can train that mindset.

FOR YOU

這個影片適合誰？

無論是準備雅思口語練習的考生，還是想通過看YouTube學英語提升表達的學習者，這個影片都超合適！它用攀巖故事講透“努力”的本質，對話口語化、邏輯清晰，既能學實用表達，又能練思維深度。尤其適合想突破“啞巴英語”，希望口語更有感染力的同學。

值得“偷學”的詞句

dig deep：深挖潛力。比如影片裡說“dig deep and try really hard”，就是“拼盡全力”。
flow：心流狀態。指全情投入、毫不費力的境界，口語中可描述專注時刻。
clutch：關鍵狀態。強調高壓力下的專注，比“focus”更生動。
send a route：完成攀巖路線。“send”在這裡不是“傳送”，而是“成功完成”，超地道！

如何練好發音與語調？

用shadow speak法跟練超有效！注意 speaker 說到“hard”“dig deep”時的重音，以及“oh my god”的自然語調——不是喊，而是帶驚歎的輕讀。模仿他描述“flow”和“clutch”時的節奏變化：講“flow”時放緩，顯輕鬆；講“clutch”時加快，突出緊張感。多練幾遍，你會發現口語更有層次感，連shadowspeak的熟練度都提升了！

記住，學英語不是死記硬背，而是像攀巖一樣，在“flow”中積累，在“clutch”中突破。現在就開啟影片，跟著影子跟讀，讓每一次練習都成為進步的階梯！

影片中的語法

說話人最常用的結構，並附上影片中的原話：

結構	影片中的用法
現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事	have been · I've given · I've found
被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼，而不是誰做的	can be accessed · is only directed · was actually graded
定語從句 who / which + 從句 — 補充說明人或事物	amwete which means · aroused which means

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
