Wooden domes with ankle weights would be extremely hard. Don’t think I could on mine.
Wouldn’t using smaller/shitter footholds have the same effect (and more translatable to rock?). Though I guess if you’re already using really tiny crap holds then adding ankle weights is an option 😄

I took all of that with a great fistful of salt, when he’s talking about having weak fingers that’s compared to Megos, Aidan and Varian. Although I’m sure 12 weeks in a Lattice plan would have him up to Font 9A+
Great job Simon.
Nice interview Shark. Be good to see these done on a slightly regular fashion!A few that would be good imo:Dan Varian - hero. Nothing more needs saying, plenty needs asking. Mickey Page - Only Brit to bouldered 8C and led 9a sport? (assuming downgrades on Dave Macs previously ticked 8C boulders are now 8b+?) Jack Pal - Started climbing at 27, climbed first 8a by 29 (first year going outdoors?) , 8b+ by 30(?) and 150ish 8s in 8 years climbing.Dave Mason - Britain's best travelled boulderer? 500+ 8s done I think?Dan Turner - King of a Seige? and an impressive logbook as a result!

Although Will Bosi has also done 8C and 9AB right? Practice of the Wild. Micky is also "only" down at 8B+ on Remus' list.
