I need some motivation and SYKE to achieve my 2010 climbing goals (plus some partners / belayers) and thought this might be a good relaxed way to find them? The only trouble is I don't think I do any training (apart from actual climbing) - would I be in a good place here or do I need to start running, biking, crunching and curling to join in? ???
If you find it useful and commit to posting each week you're in. Nice work ticking R n' P BTW
Wow! Two 8a+'s in a three days, having not done three days on in a week for over a decade seems gobsmackingly impressive! How do you manage to keep your finger strength, endurance etc. etc. at the necessary levels with so few days on and what appears to be no supplemental training whatsoever?
That is impressive, especially that it's your first 8a+'s. Care to share what you've been doing for the <3 days a week? Not so much that there's no supplemental stuff, just that a max of 2 days a week doesn't seem enough to produce gains, (cause I know so much about these things )
Thurs - Cornice. K3 woohoo, first 8a+. Respect to JB's beta and knee pads!
Sounds like it was technique in the form of some beta in this instance.I was reading that you don't need to train/exercise very much to maintain a given level of fitness, so if uptown used to climb at around this level but has only been pottering around for a while then he may have maintained that level.I'll shut up now and let the man speak for himself.
