Climbing techniques – a plan to raise your game: Week 9 – Guest post from Ignacio Romero

Hi everyone. Here we are at week 9 (out of 16) of my climbing techniques and climbing improvement plan. Here’s where it all starts to get a little bit more difficult as we go into Christmas. For most people it’s going to be pretty difficult to stick to a decent diet and get plenty of training in.

This week is a really special week because this post is from a new friend from Argentina. Please allow me to introduce Ignacio Romero from Mendoza. Ignacio has been kind enough to send me a climbing drill for those of you who don’t use a gym but would like a structured training plan that you can implement at your local wall.

Climbing techniques – a plan to raise your game: Week 8 – Core techniques

Hi everyone. Welcome to week 8 (out of 16) of my climbing techniques and climbing improvement plan. I think I may have missed a week (or two) actually. I got thrown off track a little because I attended a fantastic internet marketing seminar which has hopefully given me some more knowledge to reach a wider audience of fellow climbers. Anyway, here we are. [click to continue…]

Climbing techniques – a plan to raise your game: Week 6 – strength conditioning and grip (workout 3)

Hello everyone, it’s week 6 of my rock climbing improvement plan. How’s it going? Has anyone made any improvements?

In 5 weeks I have moved up a grade, from 5b to 5c. I have nailed quite a few tricky 5c routes as both top ropes and leads at my local indoor wall, so I’m going to claim it – there! That’s halfway toward my target for my plan to be able to climb 6a sport routes.

Last week I gave you rock climbing workout 2 of 3, here’s number 3. [click to continue…]

Climbing techniques – a plan to raise your game (and mine)

by Gareth Hanson on October 13, 2009

in Climbing Techniques

Following a really bad climbing session last weekend at my local wall, I have decided to embark on a climbing improvement plan. My under-par performance was probably due to being over-tired and starting to come down with a cold.

It has, however, served as a useful motivator for me to raise my game.

It also occurred to me that there are probably lots of other climbers out there who have hit a wall in their rock climbing progress.

So, if like me, you would like to improve your climbing and scale the higher grades, buckle up and get ready for some serious training (and hopefully some worthwhile improvements). [click to continue…]
