This is a good thread, Steve!

seemed to me that endurance was my biggest setback. how would I build more endurance? laps? repetitions of lighter workouts? it would be nice to actually climb as training so maybe getting on sport routes and leading then downclimbing them would help????

Its not simply endurance, more power endurance. You're not bad it that, but from what I understand the best way to work it is to climb more steep stuff.

Frankly Brent, you're strong, you can build power endurance pretty quick, but working on technique would probobly bring you a lot further.

Edited to add that there just aren't that many steep sport routes around here. The 5.10s are pretty verticle. The 5.11s are a a little better, but mostly have crimpy small hold cruxes (and half of the ones I've gotten on just kinda suck), and I don't really know about the 5.12s.
