Driven by a passion for climbing

Hi, I’m Paweł — the climber and author of the blog Na jednej linie

I won’t pretend otherwise — I’m not in my twenties anymore. I have less time to train, need longer recovery, and I’ve faced the same old climbing issues many of you know too well: pulley injuries, golfer’s and tennis elbow, painful arc sign ..
I went through them — and my friends.

The moment of frustration

The most frustrating part wasn’t even the injuries — it was the lack of progress. For months I was stuck at 6b. Indoors, outdoors, again and again — no improvement.
And when you start climbing after thirty, you can forget about “fast progress.” Every extra “plus” on the grade has to be earned the hard way.

Eventually it hit me — if I wanted to grow, I had to train smarter, not harder.

The breakthrough

I started by identifying my strengths and weaknesses.
I wanted to know exactly where I stood — based on real training data.

The brain behind this idea was my friend Chriss Zarna, who created an algorithm we turned into a free app called FGRAVITY.
Thanks to it, any climber can easily check their starting point and plan smarter training.

Then I structured my own routine — adding regular hangboard and forearm sessions (using the No-Hang method and the Roller).
And that’s when things took off.

It was like “positive feedback” — stronger grip, better body tension, no more fighting for survival on the wall.

I could climb more routes in a single session, and as volume increased, so did endurance and technique.
My progress became exponential, not linear — soon I was sending 7a in just two or three tries.

Some will say that’s not much.

Fair. Everyone has their own reference point.
But for me, it’s a huge success — considering:

• I started climbing after 30,
• I weight close to 90 kg (and physics doesn’t lie),
• and, as I like to joke, I’m enjoying my “second-class youth.” 😄

Most importantly — this breakthrough came just six months after I added No Hangs to my training routine.

What once felt impossible suddenly became real.
And if you’re in a similar spot — or in better shape — trust me, you can do it too.

Proof? Sure:

• In Kraków, I sent Sadystówka (7a),
• On the Avatar (climbing gym), I now do 6c overhangs and 7a verticals,
• In the rocks, I’ve reached 6b OS, and my appetite keeps growing.

But it’s not just about the numbers.
As Wojciech Kurtyka (polish climber) once said:

“The grade was a vile record at the service of the vanity fair. In truth, it expressed nothing of the essence of the climbing experience.”

For me, what matters is progress, adventure, and versatility — climbing in the mountains, in winter and summer, on trad and sport, and even skitouring.

How it started

From this reflection came an idea:
to create gear that helps climbers train effectively, safely, and intelligently.

That’s how the No-Hang hangboard and loading pin were designed — simple tools that build finger strength, improve endurance, and help avoid injury.

Let Me Climb is more than just a store.
It’s a place to inspire and educate climbers, helping them grow out of the “playground” and become confident, independent mountain climbers.

What’s next

I’m already working on new projects — like a hand balm for climbers and mountain lovers.
I want my brand CHWYTO to grow with the community and respond to the real needs of people like us.

let’s climb smarter, not just harder! 🧗‍♂️
