Video Taping Climbing

Post by GWG »

I was visiting a gym a while back and a service they offered, which I thought was sort of neat, was to video tape you while you climbed. The instructor would then review this with you and provide you with feedback/advise.

I don't know what the cost of this was but it looked interesting.

I think that's a great idea actually. And it would be neat (read funny) to keep it & look back at how shitty you were when you first started.

I tried that a long time ago on a friend's bouldering wall. It worked well for a few people in the group, but whenever they turned the camera on me, I consistently climbed much worse than normally.

They do similar things for a lot of divers and swimmers. But Norma, unlike you, when I knew I was "under the fire" I always did things the right way. Much to the dislike and grumbelment of my swim coach.

It would be okay unless geoff was doing the filming. Then all you would see is climbers' asses.

I would if people who were critiquing me knew what they were talking about and not just blowing steam.

What I love about running is you can meditate while running. It's a peaceful place.
