Since we're all clarifying Jon works 3 days a week, thats plenty of climbing time. You don't really need to train that much if you get all that time on rock. Like others have said its all someones conscious decision. I enjoy not climbing outside in England and don't miss it one bit
I've lost who's arguing about what now, but if people with kids are moaning that's kind of like moaning that you've not got enough time for climbing because you spend all your time surfing. Choices innit.

Except for a very few elite, or those who move abroad, if you want to excel at long endurance sport climbs over a period of time beyond academic life it seems almost a necessity to have a good income (or a trust fund) to pay for all the foreign travel (or be retired!).
Ally, you didn't have a girlfriend 2 weeks ago? Therefore, you can't use that as a variable in your current climbing vs. commitment status!
(Is this someones blog btw?!)
You're pretty psyched for climbing and training Alex, why are you bothering continuing with your Phd? Why not sack it off train, like a mother-fucker and realise your full potential? Choices innit.
