Nina Williams Instagram – The rest of Vegas. A pretty wet few weeks tbh 💦 all good times with friends tho! My goal for this trip wasn’t aimed at sending anything, but rather focusing on what ‘trying hard’ really means for me and how to cultivate that effort on limit moves. Consistent feedback from friends has been: “You need to try harder.” Yes but what does that mean specifically?? 😩 I think a lot of it has to do with style; I tend towards a controlled, precise movement that doesn’t allow for mistakes (some crossover from my highballing). I am a technically proficient climber AND I am a strong climber but I’ve not been strong enough to break my bouldering plateau. That frustration was one of the reasons why I switched to sport climbing. I felt burned out and needing different perspective. Now I’m back, armed with a @latticetraining plan but more importantly a new sense of curiosity about my body’s abilities. Trying harder, for me, means trying harder boulders and seeing the micro-est of micro progress even when I’m not close to sticking moves. Learning from flailing upwards, if you will. Being vulnerable by investing myself fully into a climb, multiple days/seasons, with no expectations. Just open arms and open eyes. Let’s see what the next few months bring 💪🏼 📸 @jordi.llauvi & @tchenrock @thenorthface @thenorthface_climb @scarpana @organicclimbing #climbing #bouldering
