Great thread, lots of good advice in times for winter training. As I start my training this year I'm struggling to find a concrete goal to give myself something to aim towards so I'm going to give myself a fairly arbitrary but fun-looking one: Powerplant at the Cornice.I've never been on Powerplant, only seen people climb it. There are plenty of UKB threads with beta but what I'd really like to know is how the route climbs and therefore what I should focus on training: Power endurance? Finger strength? Dynamic movement? etc. If anyone has any advice that would be much appreciated. Cheers!
I guess I just got fit on it which is the best training there is.
took me ages
I just (belately) looked at the start of this thread and saw that Yossarian is based on the South East coast. Might Adrenachrome at Lulworth be a suitable target but with Fighting Torque at The Cuttings (as monkoffunk just mentioned) as a stormy seas bail-to alternative. Years ago I had a great midwinter day climbing with ropes at Lulworth Stairhole cave.

Potentially tricky to get in condition too (lots of sea smeg). Fighting torqu on the other hand is a much more reasonable proposition!
I just did Lulworth Arms Treaty and 7b was my limit back then.

Just keep fingerboarding.You can fit this in even when busy and it makes the most difference over eg a year. Make sure the fingerboard is in the house, get a standarised warmup and keep doing it. 1x week when busy, 2x when you have time. Over a while of doing nothing else, this will make a definate positive difference..
This. When the stress stacks up is when i really need a weekly session down the wall, even if it means leaving the office at 8 and only getting an hour and a half in.Am i alone in actually losing weight when stressed? I usually don't feel hungry and so eat less, often breakfast and have time for a minimal lunch.
