How much of the year do you spend climbing on the Woody Chris?
Could woody climbing alone be enough to improve finger strength or is it better to combine it with fingerboarding?
After my last 2 trips there id say that climbing on a board would be most applicable to the style of climbing out there.

Pulling hard on crimps usually gives me the sensation that my fingers are going to snap at the joints, so I usually avoid it. I also used to get loads of A2 pulley injuries on various fingers so I've moved away from crimpy holds over the years. All that being said, I really like the woody style of climbing, I guess I'll just have to build up slowly.
Well done.
I'm out 24/06 to 15/07 how about you guys? Any spare room in your luggage for my climbing shoes?
If it involves weird gymnastic moves, power, slopers, I can usually get by OK up to my max grade of 7C (though the 7Cs were a couple of years ago now).
Ha, well the 7C's were so long ago now that they hardly count but I'd be disappointed if it took me to long to do low 7's. There's so much good stuff at that grade though, it's hard to motivate yourself you try harder in my experience!
Bagged a couple of the new (yet to be built) cabins at DePakhuys
Seems we managed to book the last of the available (non-camping) Rocklands accommodation for that period at the weekend.
