Break your grade plateau!
After three months of training with this program I went from projecting 12a to achieving my goal of a 12a on site! The exercise routines are really straightforward and the app makes things very organized. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to take her climbing to the next level.

We'll show you how to use your time effectively
An additional benefit of the plan is that you know exactly what to do that week. Not more, not less. It removes a lot of mental stress trying to continuously adapt your training. In the past I’ve always felt like I “should be doing more” or “should be doing something else”, but with this plan I could put that part of my mind to rest.

We build healthy, injury-free climbers as a priority
I have seen results beyond pure strength increase. I used to have a bit of a climbers elbow pain and one of my shoulders used to give me some trouble every once and then. The conditioning part of the training and the structure of the plan itself have kept me injury free and these two niggles have completely disappeared. I will definitely keep on training with Lattice.

This one worked!
Fantastic. I saw my grades and my fitness improve considerably after 30+ years of climbing. I have tried most of the training plans out there and this one WORKED! I saw my performance go from red-pointing hard, for me, routes on TR; to leading them. Super chuffed. Easy to follow too.

Reviews
The results were impressive! I improved more than I expected. It wasn’t only the exercises were on-the-spot for my weaknesses, but having such a well planned program and seeing progress with controlled testing. The flexibility to design your own week (with proper guidance) was also a big plus for a full-time office worker like me.

I finished up a 6 month plan and able to reach my goal of sending my 5.12a project and I was climbing 5.11a/b at the time. The structure and assessment of my weaknesses really helped. The most interesting was the flexibility training, as I had thought I was pretty flexible. I definitely could not have done it without a structured training plan to follow. I am very satisfied with the results and learning to train hard for a project! Thanks Lattice!
Will Gilbert –
I was bought the sport climbing programme as a birthday present but it was something I was considering anyway. I’d been stuck at 6c for a long time and hadn’t manage to send a single 7a. The programme helped me develop a lot of strength, and ultimately send not only my first 7a, but I even managed a 7b. I learned a lot about training and structuring a training programme, and it is definitely something I’ll be looking to repeat in the near future!
I would wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone who’s looking at sport-specific training, but especially to those who, like me, find themselves on a performance plateau. It’s hard work, but the results justify it!
Glenn –
Loved the structured program, felt like I was actually training for the first since starting climbing. After completing a 12 week sport climbing program that had me mainly doing bouldering sessions, when I got back on lead I had more confidence and felt so much stronger. Prior to the program I had sent one 7a. I have just finished a climbing trip in Kalymnos where I onsighted 10 7a’s, 4 7a+’s and sent my first 7b on my 4th attempt. I can’t wait to start my next phase of training.
Marius Hamacher –
Overall a great experience. Completing the plan got me hooked on structured training, as a lot of the exercises were surprisingly fun and there was enough variation to keep things from getting stale. Comments from the pre-assessment were incorporated into the plan and after completing it, I improved more than I expected. Communication was quick and very helpful. I sustained a shoulder injury shortly before the plan was going to start. The Lattice Team rescheduled and offered advice on how to best proceed.
Would definitely recommend to anyone interested in getting into training for climbing.

Really really good training plan! I had gotten in a bit of a rut with my climbing/training and was looking to change things up leading into the fall season. The lattice training plan was exactly what I was looking for. When training on your own, I feel its easy to end up strong in the areas you train but unknowingly really weak in areas you neglect. So by having a personalized plan that targeted my weaknesses, that were shown in the testing, I was able to have my strongest season yet! Im really looking forward to working with Lattice again and to keep growing as a climber.

I am very happy with the training plan and my results. The initial test identified my weakness in max finger strength and this was the focus of the training plan. Coming back from a finger injury, I was a bit worried but after following the plan rather strictly my fingers are much stronger AND feel healthier than in a long time. My climbing feels much more solid, and the plan made me reach my season’s goal of setting a new sport climbing PB.
Matt Dearden –
Having done two of these over the past two winters I can confirm they really work! I travel a lot for work but the plans were perfectly structured to allow me to fit everything in each week. Both times I came into the sport season feeling strong and managed to up my red point a couple of grades.

I started the plan in December with hopes of getting to a performance phase by February. I was not dissapointed one bit. 6 weeks in i went from not hanging on 7mm to doing pullups x3 on it. I was able to hang on monos. My endurnace and power never felt better. I went on my trip and felt really great on an 8a as well as finished a 7b and 7b+. The plan works if you stick to it mo matter how little.

I just love the Lattice training plan. I am now on my second consecutive plan and just decided to continue on my third. I can sum up what is great about this plan in three points.
1. Flexibility. My training days move around a lot depending on work and weather, so the ability to adjust each weeks schedule is great and very easy. Also it helps to plan out the week in advance.
2. Changing stimuli. The focus of my training hasn’t changed but each consecutive plan tackles is with different exercises. This keeps it interesting and makes sure the body can keep adapting.
3. The progress is real! After hitting a plateau at 6c/7a for two years I finally broke through this ceiling. 7a’s are doable in one or two sessions and 7b is within reach.
Keep up the great work and loving the information on Instagram!

After conducting a Home Training Plan with Lattice in February and March 2021, I was positively surprised about my gains in max strength, power endurance and endurance. Thus, it was an easy decision to follow-up with a 3 month Lite Plan in July, August and September 2021. I enjoyed the well-founded and carefully elaborated training plan by Cameron, that was particularly tailored on my three week trip in summer when I was on the road. I plan to start my next Lite Plan for 6 months in the beginning of November 2021. I cannot wait to start.
Inka –
I just wanted to thank you for the great Lattice Lite program. I finished it in March and completely exceeded my expectations when the outdoor season began. I climbed my first 7C which indeed was the goal for the spring and other easier problems that had felt impossible before. I don’t think this would’ve happened without structured and well-thought-out plan. I’m looking forward to training with Lattice again once the outdoor season is over!
Sascha –
Why should I apply? That was my question as well. As already commented above from others you can stuck in details and get confused from the possibilities by setting up your own training plan. With my the first plan I was surprised by the workouts and intensities. At the beginning I struggled a bit to schedule them smart. My impression is that it´s very elaborated. Even when completely stuck with to lock-down home training I improved much when climbing outside. For sure there are other important aspects of climbing which can´t be covered e.g. fear of falling. But from the physical perspective it paid-off great for me.
Mats Olsen –
I did a Lattice Lite Plan for 8 weeks at the start of the year and all I can say is that it was a great experience. The plan was thoughtfully made, and I made good gains on both finger strength and pull up strength. An additional benefit of the plan is that you know exactly what to do that week. Not more, not less. It removes a lot of mental stress trying to continuously adapt your training. In the past I’ve always felt like I “should be doing more” or “should be doing something else”, but with this plan I could put that part of my mind to rest. I really enjoyed working on the plan and look forward on using my gains out in the wild.
william sanders –
I am just starting this plan, but I have been very impressed with the quality of the app, and the forethought in the customized routine based on my training history. Their online support community on facebook is extremely useful and I appreciate the direct response I received from Tom Randall himself in regards to questions I had about my specific training plan. While I could have programmed my own plan to save some money, the smooth integration of the plan with the app itself is worth it’s weight in gold so to speak. I am very hopeful that I’ll see measurable benefit at the conclusion of my first training block and look forward to working with them in the future.
Carson Phillips –
After training on my own for years I had achieved my goal finger strength score however I was struggling with progression in the areas of Anaerobic Capacity and core strength and endurance. I asked Lattice to focus my plan on these two areas and it worked perfectly. Now 1 year later I retested and doubled my numbers in both areas making my previous weaknesses into notable strengths. What is more is I am climbing better and stronger than ever. I’m very impressed by Lattice and will continue to work with them!
Petri Koskimäki –
Just finished my first lite plan, and already purchased another 12 week block. I really loved training with the plan, and the app made it so easy to follow. I did the advanced remote assessment before starting with the plan, and it revealed my weaknesses very clearly. After 3 months I already see improvements in many of those areas. I feel more motivated than ever, and I can’t wait to start the second block! Highly recommended
Ian Mulvany –
A few weeks ago I finished up the 12-week lattice light training plan. During lockdown this has helped me improve my finger strength, and gotten me back to being fit for climbing. I really enjoyed this, and have just signed up for my second 12 week block. I have been climbing for about 30 years and am heading into my late 40s. I really believe that with structured training like this which is customised to my own current level and weaknesses, that there is every chance that I can actually reach some personal bests over the next year. I’m looking forward to starting the next block
Murat –
After getting stuck on the same level for years, I decided I need some proper training instead of random climbing – and I thought I should get a professionally designed program instead of making one myself with my degree from Google University. The results were impressive! I improved more than I expected. It wasn’t only the exercises were on-the-spot for my weaknesses, but having such a well planned program and seeing progress with controlled testing motivated me more to go to the next session (and maybe also paying for it 😁). The flexibility to design your own week (with proper guidance) was also a big plus for a full-time office worker like me. I’m now back for my second block, and can’t wait to start! Definitely recommended ✌
channing lai –
Great plan. I just subscribed to my 3rd block as I have seen quantifiable results since I started last year. Lattice is my first structured training and I like how easy it is to just follow along all the exercises. It forced me to have accountability and work on my weaknesses.
I highly recommend this plan if you are in need of some structure to training and want to go over your pleateau.

I started my first block of Lattice Lite after the walls first closed in March so I would not lose my climbing momentum. I had done fingerboarding with a coach previously but had no idea how to actually structure my finger training and I also knew I would never have the discipline to do regular conditioning exercises on my own.
I love the format of this program, the weekly portions of exercises make it easy to adapt to my schedule and unexpected bad days, and the deadlines turned out to be a great motivator so I never even missed that oh-so-painful hip flexibility routine!
My primary goal with this program was to maintain finger strength and overall shape, but I actually ended up a great deal stronger than ever! Once the walls finally reopened, I found I could rest on crimps I could barely hold before and my bouldering grade is up by 1-2 full V-grades.
Very happy customer. Now, onto my second block!
Noxxville –
I always knew i would be capable of climbing hard but i always thought it would take me a few years. After 3 months of my first lite plan I went from V5-6 to V9 I can’t believe it yet haha the exercises, the conitioning it’s amazing Next monday I’m starting my second lite plan and I couldn’t be more motivated. Thanl you so much Lattice.
Raul –
I bought my fist Lattice lite training plan together with my wife and 2 other friends. We all were surprised to truly see each plan tailored to everyone’s needs. We all have seen good results so far, but particularly in my case, I have seen results beyond pure strength increase. I used to have a bit of a climbers elbow pain and one of my shoulders used to give me some trouble every once and then. The conditioning part of the training and the structure of the plan itself have kept me injury free and these two niggles have completely disappeared. I will definitely keep on training with Lattice.

This is a great tool to learn how to train and become stronger overall.
The app is also very well designed, it makes following the sessions extremely easy and keeps you motivated over the course of your plan.
I got addicted at seeing those training boxes getting filled with data!
Christopher –
I purchased the Lite training plan right before the coronavirus started to hit strong here where I live. All the climbing gyms were locked down, and we couldn’t go to the crags. I started with the Lite plan with a small climbing wall that I have at home. The Lite plan has been really helpful during this period of time. It has helped me with both my physical health and my motivation. I am getting stronger climbing-wise. It has helped me to organize my time around my trainings, and to maintain the motivation.

The first step was realizing that I had to address my weaknesses to become a better climber. After that the lattice team gave me everything I needed to move forward. First was identifying what my weakness’ are, then setting a plan that is enjoyable to implement, and finally providing me direction to effectively get out and execute on that plan. Now I’m improving and breaking out beyond the plateau I’ve been riding for several years. Thanks to the lattice team for helping me find the way.
Luc –
Stuck on a plateau for a long time, I kept training by myself convinced I was just lacking endurance. Lattice assessment, instead, identified finger strength as my weakness. Training plan was easy to follow and as a result I am now climbing consistently harder than before.
Totally worth it!
Konstantin –
Very good experience – that helped me send my season project.
At the beginning of the year I tried my project (King Kong in Magic Wood) and could not even get the starting move. After completing the program 2/3 through I tried again and sent it.
Pros:
– Detailed trainings per week to complete with flexibility to do them when you find time
– Training priorities to focus on if the time you have for training isn’t sufficient for the entire plan
– Gets you fit and up your project
Cons:
– Need to go to the gym when there are less people to complete the timed climbing exercises
– Sometimes you need to throw in a fun climbing session to stay motivated 😉
