Julie, I felt similarly about the way the video was constructed but ended up concluding that the PE exercise was whatever the hardest incline pull you can do for 6-8 reps (per side if applicable) with good form in control. You do them with ice tools preferably but if you can’t then use rings. The weighted tool hangs are a separate protocol and are not the PE.

This might not be correct – it’s just my take. I agree the way the video presents the tool hangs is unclear.

Hi Scott, thanks very much for the clarification.

Apart from that small confusion I’m finding it to be a great programme and am feeling the benefits already. Fortunately I have been doing as you describe with the tool hangs but became uncertain when reading ahead into the specific strength workouts.

I searched on the forums for some clarification first and found a post from 2019 with someone essentially asking the same question but there was a reply from Steve H indicating the intention was sets of 10 30sec hangs (https://uphillathlete.com/forums/topic/ice-climbing-training-strenght-plan-specific-training/). Hence my confusion!

Thanks again

Hi Scott, thanks for your reply. Yeah I’m in the transition phase atm, following the general alpinism plan from TFTNA. Thats good news on the max hangs.

I’m not sure I completely get your last point. Do you mean I should come to the climbing sessions fresh/rested/first thing?
