Start bouldering, SLOWLY. I'd recommend only one boulder session per week for a few weeks then work your way up. Otherwise you're setting yourself up for overuse injuries. I look at bouldering as being a lot like interval training. It's great and will build strength, confidence and technique, but you don't want to do it too often or without a base first. Goodguy strips all the routes every year in Dec. for a bouldering comp and it gives me a great chance to do a huge variety of problems. After a month of that I'm usually climbing about 2 letter grades harder.
Ticking is gym climbing outdoors.
I'm with ya there Huggy. I've been stagnate in my climbing, as far as pushing limits/numbers, for several years now. Every now and then I think about it and it frustarates me. Then I realize that my climbing abilities might be stagnate because of the time and effort that I've put into climbing as opposed to hitting some sorta wall and I feel good. I feel good that I've done all sorts of other stuff. Sure I'd like to climb more or harder, maybe I will, maybe I won't. Sounds like ya gotta plan, so go execute it.
I see they are still lopping off mountains in Eastern Kentucky. Electricity isn't cheap.
i think that is a bit of an over statement, wes. give the climber some time.Wes wrote: If you have to ask, you will never know.
I know that you believe that you understood what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.
