Barrows listens to trance and pretends he's a rock god

Are there other more fun ways of increasing my aerobic threshold that I can try?
Having some comfy punter shoes is one solution which I've used in the past.
Skin is a trainable resource like everything else
I did 25 minutes of feet on the platform moving around the rock rings, going cross handed and shaking out on the jugs (This is extremely boring).
I didn't want to start another Aerocap thread to ask a question and this is most recent I can find...To actually increase aerobic threshold for climbing does it matter how specific the training is. I don't have time to go to the wall/anywhere to traverse lap routes and want to keep up the volume.In work I've put rockrings (with the three pockets) over a pull up/tricep dip bar thing which has a foot platform about a foot behind the rock rings. I did 25 minutes of feet on the platform moving around the rock rings, going cross handed and shaking out on the jugs (This is extremely boring). In terms of bloodflow and feeling in the forearms it felt identical to doing aerocap on routes/traverses. So are the benefits (excluding climbing technique) the same?Cheers
Until Ben installs a vert warm-up wall, it'll have to do. The big board is ok for normal aerocap now though, especially if you throw a couple of extra jugs on whilst doing it. I don't think clutter is a big issue since there's only the same 5 people ever there in the evenings anyway!
