Moon 14

Does anyone have a spare Moon school set number 14 hold? I would be keen to buy one. Mine blew up in my face! Wasn't even pulling that hard from it. Bloody annoying. Just had a good problem going from that hold...

Revelations

Motivation arrived today in a form of a book. Singed and all by no other than Jerry Moffat himself! If you don't know who Jerry is you can not call yourself a climber... Let the training commence!

Self portrait.

Just been doing some systemboard lately. Good way to train some climbing specific isometrics (e.g. Lock offs etc.). Seems that it's not that bad for your fingers like normal climbing since the moves are very controlled. Bit like fingerboard training. Same principals apply on system training like it's very important to use and maintain good body and finger positions trough out the exercise. I pay special attention on elbow angle. I try to avoid chicken winging because I think that it's bad for your shoulders and elbow to use unnatural angle. 

Last week end we had two days at Boulderkeskus. It was good fun! It's good to go visit some other caves every once in a while. It sort of a gives you perspective of where you are in your training, or which are your week spots. It's the same outdoors when you visit new crags and climb with other people.

Plastic pulling

Some plastic pulling. Picture by me with a timer...

That's it.

Winter has arrived and the competition has been
competed. So only thing to do is to wait for spring to
come...


Not too keen to swim any more...
