dave,as you well know, i used to just train for climbing and go climbing. then i moved to preston and started to train at boulder uk. i started to get ok at bouldering, but i ended up not being able to improve, untill recently, since i took up running (again), and to a greater extent cycling my climbing has come on leaps and bounds.i have pretty much packed in training for climbing in favor of the bike (when my trip to the pyrenees is over that will change), but i am better at climbing.
