There is no easy way to the top. Luck plays the biggest role for the top 20-80% of athletes, less so for the top and bottom 20%. Expect variable competition results unless you are really good or really bad, it's part of the game.

In some categories there are exceptionally talented athletes that dominate the field. Don't compare yourself to them, keep on training and you'll get there. Also have fun!

Para-climbing is an elite level sport that shows identical statistical patterns to regular competition climbing.
