DIY Treadwall Training Pays Off – Onsight in Riglos!

One of the best things about my DIY Treadwall training is that it’s not just useful for sport climbing—it also makes a huge difference in multi-pitch climbing. I got to test this firsthand when we climbed the legendary Fiesta de los Biceps in Riglos, and I couldn’t be happier with how it went!

Riglos – The Ultimate Endurance Test

Riglos is famous for its steep, overhanging conglomerate towers, filled with massive jugs and pumpy routes.

Fiesta de los Biceps is one of the most well-known climbs there—5 or 6 steep pitches, with every pitch getting more overhanging as you go up. The climbing itself isn’t super technical, but because of the angle, you need serious endurance to keep moving without completely burning out.

Thanks to months of training on my Treadwall, I could onsight the entire route, climbing efficiently and managing my pump way better than in the past. The ability to keep climbing on big but steep holds without getting totally drained is exactly what I’ve been working on, and it paid off.

A Personal Redemption – No More Pumped-Out Falls

Five years ago, when I first climbed in Riglos, I attempted Zulu Demente, a neighboring route. Back then, I simply didn’t have the endurance, and I ended up taking multiple falls because my forearms were completely shot. This time, thanks to structured training, I felt in control, strong, and confident the entire way up.

This was a huge personal progress milestone, and it makes me even more motivated to keep training.

The Treadwall has been one of the best investments for my climbing, and I can’t wait to see how it helps on the next big objective! 🔥💪
