After yesterdays big day on the hill,
John was keen for some technique coaching and an arm stretch in the
climbing wall. As John hasn't climbed anything vertical for awhile,
he was keen to see how quickly he would get pumped and in turn will
see how his fitness has changed. First off we spent 3 hours (its not
what you know, its who you know!) in the ice wall, fine tuning John's
technique and we also had a go on the competition routes that were
left up after the weekend. After lunch we went through and did some
coaching on the rock walls, we identified John's weaknesses and did
some exercises to turn them into strengths. After this we hit the
dry tooling, something John hasn't done much of. Its great to see
how well he's coming along. Last season he climbed two grade V's on
consecutive days...maybe grade VI this winter...?
