How do I climb longer without getting pump?

Transcript: "How do I climb longer without getting pumped? Well you're talking about building your endurance and endurance is built by practicing staying on as long as you can. But while you're doing that you're also trying to recover while on the wall. So recovery is a whole other game and that is where you're probably resting on a pretty good hold with pretty good feet in a pretty comfortable body position and your arm is extended straight above you or mostly straight and the other arm is able to go ahead and shake out a little bit. You could switch back and forth between this position resting heavily on your feet and allowing your arm to go ahead and de-pump for a moment and then you can de-pump the other arm. Then you can continue climbing up until you get to another rest. So what you're talking about learning is talking about learning how to rest on a root, recover, and then climb more. Rest on a root, recover, and climb more. That is how you climb longer."
