    Can't believe I've only just got round to watching this video! This was a great one, Irena - Sierra is such a fab coach. 🥰
    I really relate to you as a climber - I'm also 5'7" with similar limb proportions (albeit i weigh quite a bit more...), I also love slabby, stemmy, techy climbs, and I tend to take dramatic falls (I also hate pinches 😅).
    I'm still a comparative newbie (been climbing around a year) but I'm particularly trying to improve my climbing on overhangs, tension-y and power-based boulders right now, and Sierra's advice to you is *so applicable*. Thank you ❤.

    Irena's face when she's asked "Do you read the route first?" is a big mood.

      Haha ya rote memorization is tough for sure!

Maybe I’ll make a video about them someday soon! Would that interest people?
