promise of a return to more frequent posts has kind of been a bit hollow if i m honest i ve lacked a bit of drive and inspiration lately that changed on wednesday night very unexpectedly i really enjoy my regular climbing wall great atmosphere friendly staff many and varied routes set by some well respected members of the climbing world i feel comfortable there and had no real desire to look

we ve still been climbing regularly each week but nothing to report of any note definite improvements in strength and technique but slow and steady progress for some time now si and i have discussed the possibility of climbing a couple of the ridges along winnats pass in the derbyshire peak district the main reason was to test my progress in overcoming my fear on high and exposed terrain with a day free to go and play we headed out with a plan to try matterhorn ridge which is graded as continue reading share this share on facebook opens in new window facebook share on x opens in new window x

mountain rockclimbing sport walking leave a comment it happens to everyone posted on 25 11 2010 by black73cat i didn t post anything after last week s session at the wall mainly because i had nothing much to talk about the climbing had been good and i had lead another couple of routes at 3 to increase slowly but that was about it i went home happy but feeling that i had hit the point that all of the instruction books warn about my ability has reached a plateau and if i don t change my goals i am likely to get frustrated and just give up the quest to improve and continue reading share this

friday this week so nothing really to report however i ve just posted a reply to someone on a forum thread and it has inspired me to go a little off track the guy who started the thread was asking for advice on taking someone with a fear of heights climbing in view of the fact that i started in exactly the same way i offered a little help and thought that it may be a good idea to expand on that and share my experiences in a little more detail as i have outlined in my intro i was introduced to climbing by my walking buddy in the hope of easing my fear of heights and exposure i could have just booked in for a beginner s course with an instructor but fortunately for me and my wallet my mate is a very experienced climber he has taken me from putting on a harness for the first time right up to where i am currently having completed a few 6a and 6a routes indoors and leading my first indoor grade 3 i am certain that my progress and confidence are mainly due continue reading share this share

black73cat i had been reading some more of the excellent performance rock climbing in the build up to this week s session the section on technique had me engrossed how all of these individual skills could improve one s ability as long as you can put them into practice in the car i was excitedly babbling away about how i wanted to work on flagging and twist locks etc unfortunately the place was heaving when we got there especially on the bouldering wall which i feel is the best place to work on technique i find that trying to repeat a move when top roping is a bit cumbersome also not very interesting for my buddy if i do it on the bouldering wall i can just get on and off continue reading share this share on facebook opens in new window facebook share on x opens in new window x email a

wall leave a comment a new approach posted on 04 11 2010 by black73cat weekly trip to the wall this tuesday usual build up of excitement during the day but i was planning a slightly different session until now i ve been focussing as i assume most beginners do on improving my grades this has worked well for me and i m really pleased to have completed a couple of 6 s after only a few months of climbing and only one session or less each week during that time my outlook changed over the course of the last few days when i started reading a book called performance rock climbing by dale goddard and udo neumann it s an american publication from 1993 so is a little dated and some of the terminology and grading is different but that doesn t detract from it s continue reading share this share on

trot waking on tuesday morning the man flu that had been clinging to me like a homesick tick for the last two weeks still hadn t cleared off i had cancelled my regular night at the wall last week and was determined that i wasn t going to miss out twice an easy day at work and a dose of ibuprofen and we were off whether it was just the pills or the buzz of anticipation i don t know but i was feeling a load brighter by the time i was slipping on my scarpas and warming up as is our normal routine it was bouldering first a lot of the routes had been reset since the last visit nothing looked easy we eased in with a couple of the simpler problems and continue reading share this share on facebook opens in new window facebook share on x opens in new window x email a link to a friend opens in

day at birchen posted on 03 11 2010 by black73cat you ll get the gist of where i m at from my intro my last trip out was to birchen edge on 10th of october climbing with my mate who lead all five routes and i seconded we started on trafalgar wall at about 11am already very sunny and starting to get much warmer than the predicted 15degrees a refreshing change from our last outdoor trip when it rained for a while then rained for a bit longer and well you get the picture three routes seconded by me on that wall trafalgar wall s 4b barncacle bulge vs 4c and finally camperdown crawl vs 4c i had
