Speed is the fastest and fastest-growing discipline of climbing, and the easiest to learn online. Founded by Olympic medalist Sam Watson and longtime international coach Albert Ok, LearnSpeedClimbing gives you the training knowledge, the beta, and the community to make you faster, faster.
From your first time on the speed wall to shaving tenths off a competition run, LearnSpeed brings the whole pathway together.
The rules, the records, the standardized 15m route, and how the sport made it to the Olympics. Start here if you're new.
Learn the basics →Periodization, explosive power, reaction off the pad, and conditioning. Build a plan that actually makes you faster.
See the methods →The standard route broken down move by move — foot sequences, the "Tomoa skip," and where the seconds are won and lost.
Break down the route →Every tenth of a second on the 15-meter wall comes from training you can structure and measure. Speed climbing rewards explosive strength, precise footwork, and a repeatable run — all trainable skills.
Unlike every other climbing discipline, the speed route is identical on every certified wall on earth. That means the beta is shared, refined, and repeatable — and once you learn it, it transfers to any speed wall in the world.
