Please critique my Training Schedule.

Hello! Im a V3/V4 climber attempting to level up my game! Im 25, 5ft9, 68kg - Iv been strength training for roughly 3 months and have been climbing for 5 months. I have never been super athletic but have always been quite sporty (Used to play football and rugby growing up). I would describe myself as feeling a lot stronger than when i started my journey (I couldn't do a pull up to start with and now im able to 6 reps weighted pull ups 7.5kg even if just for 1 set tho)

My goal ultimately is to become a stronger climber but a big motivation for me is also to just become more athletic in general. I want to feel strong and look strong. Im also beginning to incorporate running in the mornings before I start work (Just thought id mention in case its of importance)

Currently the weaknesses i want to work on are:

- Finger strength

- Technique (Obviously I'm still a noob) - body tension, toe hooks, Climbing IQ, Slopers

- Endurance - Find myself feeling pumped or gassing out quite quickly. Find it harder to climb for longer than an hour even with rests.

As a result, iv built this two week training schedule to tackle my weaknesses whilst still developing my overall strength/fitness- with the aim of progressively overloading it each week (in terms of strength and conditioning) as well as focusing on endurance and overall climbing technique. (Id repeat this schedule for 5 weeks and asses my progress).

Please let me know what you think- be honest. I'd rather know if its terrible and make changes. Any advise, suggestions or further resources would be greatly appreciate. Thank you for your time :)
