Brilliant. Absolutely loving this. This is what training should be like, raw power. Cant remember Ben, Jerry and Malc ever suffering outside from not doing any technical training. And Leachy was no slouch either despite not knowing what the things on the end of his legs were.Even better that he just ticked off loads of out door stuff and won a WC comp.
Too right. Experienced climbers know how to climb, its physical attributes that are going to get them up harder stuff.

I recall doing a karate class with legendary hard man Terry O'Neill years ago. He was a 5th Dan at the time, and said he had started weight training because he felt he had got as far as perfecting technique was going to get him. He said we shouldn't, because we had no technique to speak of yet and should be focusing on that. Makes sense for climbing too I think: learn to climb first then get stronger. I'm still firmly in Phase One.
Yes, that's terrible indeed. It has all the cliches: rearview mirror, bag in the boot, open the door and get out, lots of advertising, etc etc. Plus, and this is unforgiveable to me, some very very average campusing.
I'm guessing he's doing it because he's hanging ridiculuous weight
