Keeping a Climbing Tick List

Do you keep a climbing tick list keeping track of all the routes and boulder problems you send?  While some climbers are not concerned with keeping track of their climbs, I personally love having a tick list and being able to look back and be reminded of routes and boulders I would have otherwise forgotten.  While these trips down memory lane are definitely nice, keeping a tick list can actually benefit your climbing in substantial ways.

Here’s an article by Mary from Crux Crush that talks about four ways that keeping a tick list can help your climbing:

1. Goal Setting
2. Tracking Progress
3. Observing Trends
4. Reminiscing

Mary discusses each of these four benefits and then goes on to talk about the best ways to keep a tick list.  She covers keeping a tick list in a climbing journal as well as most of the online platforms that allow you to log your climbs.  Take a look at the full article bellow.  It’s a good reminder about how tracking your climbing and training can give you valuable information to help you improve.
