“I tried everything to fix my head. I read books. I asked random fearless strangers at the crag how they did it. I attended fear of falling workshops by pro climbers. I experimented. Nothing worked…

Fast-forward to now, and I’m not scared anymore. It’s kind of crazy. Karly is the best investment i have made for my climbing. She has completely transformed my head game. I am performing better than ever and having more fun. Headpoint Training is truly priceless.”

-Headpoint Training Athlete, Hayley Mckinney

"Project Direct totally changed my idea of what I thought was possible for my own climbing progression! Karly keenly identified weaknesses and wrote wonderfully structured sessions.

I have seen my strength, technique, and climbing ability grow massively - I even flashed my first 5.12a on gear, in no small part due to Karly's training program!”

-Project Direct Athlete, Olivia Wetzel

"Working with a Karly is truly the best decision I have ever made for my climbing. I have never felt stronger and I am having so much fun training and learning new things!

I am finally not just guessing at what I need and it's so cool to see the progression!"

“Karly Rager is a structural engineer turned climbing coach. We talked about what led her to start her own coaching business, being a female in two male-dominated industries, mental strategies for managing focus and fear, and cultivating longevity in climbing.”

The trenches of transition between different climbing disciplines, the Original Route on the Rainbow Wall, and the hardest thing Karly has ever climbed.

Statistically, what training metrics matter most and what that means for you.
