If you see people in action during training (it’s easiest to observe in a traditional weights/cardio gym), it’s not hard to notice that theres a massive difference between the majority who are having a ‘light’ session to say the least, and the much smaller proportion who are really working their bodies hard. As an aside, If you do see those people in the gym who look like they aren’t trying - don’t scoff inwardly (or outwardly!) at them - not everyone goes to the gym to work hard. Some people

Posted By Liv Sansoz the 2011-10-19 I haven't written since a very long time on my blog. Not that nothing happened in my life. But nothing super exciting. Hum... I should not say that. All depends on what someone put behind the word "exciting". Climbing hard routes ? Then for sure I did nothing "exciting" since I was injured. Doing what I love ? Then I did a lot of "exciting" things... even injured ;) I realized the fact I was injured and I can not climb the way I would like to was not a reason for not ...

First things first, come meet our team. Team Upskill 2011 On this climbing camp we are blessed with a diverse group with a wide range of ages and experience. From Luke and Kurt, for whom Kalymnos is their first true taste of climbing outside the gym, to Dave Reeve who has been climbing since the 1950s when it was all about swami belts, hemp rope and hip belays! Day one was all about getting familiar with limestone climbing. Though the weather was hot, we knew where to head. The picturesque crag of Kasteli

Ehh..... 52 days ago was my last blog. What can I say, it's summer and the weather has been hot and rainy. But Fall arrived last week and now the air feels crisp and the heat is coolin' off! I've spent most of my time lately preparing for the competition at the Nor'easter. I know it will be a fun time but like any competition I'm feeling a bit nervous about it. I just hope I can represent for myself in a strong way. After the Nor'easter I'm going to be shifting into more outdoor climbing and forget about

Time in Insbruck is training on the rock and in the gym, which always provides a nice balance of motivation and humiliation. We began preparing ourselves for the next trip to Val di Mello, trying hard to pack well, taking the minimum amount of kit, for the smallest loads up that damn hill. With 150m of static fixed in place and some food and supplies stashed from the time before, I was hopeful for a sub 30kg pack this time round. The addition of a portaledge however played havoc with this plan, and we set

Hey guys! A week ago I headed out to Salt Lake City to do a little bit of climbing. It was a little rainy and very hot, so I spent most of my time climbing in the gyms, which was actually really cool. However, I was still able to get a good day of outdoor climbing in [...]

It's been almost 2 months since I blogged. Shoddy, but I've had little to report but injuries. Fingers, knuckles, palms and most recently bloody knees. The knee has been particularly frustrating as I think it's a small tear on the cartilage in the same knee as my 2 previous key hole operations. I think I've got to the point where I'm going to have to give up running, or at least to the extent that I want to. I'd set my heart on a marathon next year and was thinking I was cautiously laying a good foundation

I hate to admit this but climbing at the gym has grown on me. Actually, nix that, bouldering at the gym has grown on me. A year ago that would have been an unspeakable thought but now Ive learned to Continue reading

A lot has happened since my last post. As most of you know, my residence in Boulder has come to an end and I've moved to Gainesville, FL. Needless to say, things are a bit different here. The people are larger, the food is greasier and the landscape is flatter. At least there's a climbing gym... The Gainesville Rock Gym, vertical toproping, overhang/"lead" wall in the back And that's what I want to talk about today: the merits and failings of the Gainesville Rock Gym . I've been in Gainesville for about

Posted By Liv Sansoz the 2011-06-28 My elbow has been painful since almost two months now due to a tendinitis. Physiotherapy, ice and stretching have been very helpful lately. Climbing gently feels better that resting completely as if my elbow needs to move and stay "alive" to recover. For those reasons, multipitch route on easy grades in the Mont Blanc massif is perfect for moment. Last week, on a pouring day in Chamonix, I met Marion at the gym. I knew her by name but never got the chance to share ...
