The importance of being not normal

from Online Climbing Coach
Keywords:
practice, repetitive, Mark, LOT, sessions, demand, effort, data, mind, importance

Following on from my last post about learning technique, another thought following my recent travels. I was speaking about risk and decision making in bold climbing at the SAFOS seminar at EICA Ratho. One of the other speakers was Mark Williams who gave an excellent lecture summarising some of the fascinating research on skill learning in sport right now. Mark talked a lot about practice, it’s importance, just how much is necessary to reach your potential (a LOT) and crucially, what good practice ...

Stewart, risk, reflections, images, friend Stewart, 1,000 feet, writing, sum, head, circular logic

Image from Google I'm finding it hard to finish off the writing about my flying trip from Vernon home. The basic reason is simple: A week after that trip my friend Stewart crashed his glider on Lady Mac as I watched impotently from 1,000 feet over his head. He would not likely have been there if I hadn't stated that I was going to walk up, and walked with him when he wanted to go. Stewart's now recovering, but the starting point for that recovery is a broken neck with currently serious spinal cord issues. The battle back is

Is 40 really the new 30?

from Mountains and Water
Keywords:
age, demands, face, person, Gripped, one, meaning, truths, entire climbing season, histories both personal

Image from Google Recently I posted an article from Gripped Magazine on my Facebook Mountains and Water page . About a year earlier, Gripped ran a similar story , focusing on male climbers, but with the same angle, that older climbers can still get up hard routes. Thoughts of this sort even circulated a bit in the media after Chris Sharma's stunning ascent of two 5.15s just after turning 30. On the one hand, I want to agree with the yea-sayers who assert that age is mostly an imaginary barrier, one much more easily overcome

Wrap Up of the Bozeman Ice Fest

Image from Google The Arc'teryx Bozeman Ice Fest is different every year, but the span of emotions from this year's festival seemed particularly representative of the sport and culture of ice climbing: in the joy of beginner climbers hefting tools for the first time and the glow of older climbers returning to Hyalite after being away; in a somber tribute to friend and mentor Guy Lacelle, who had a fatal accident in the canyon one year ago. The Bozeman Ice Fest represented a microcosm of the sport as a whole, both in its ...

Tactics: Anticipation

from Online Climbing Coach
Keywords:
tactic, Anticipation, Climbers, plan, constraints, climbing, People, tendency, approach, tasks

In observing climbers I’m always looking for running themes that tend to characterise successful climbers versus the unsuccessful ones. My definition of unsuccessful here is not defined by a given grade but just by failure to make continued improvement over time, almost irrespective of the type or intensity of training they do. Above a certain (fairly low) level of regular climbing time, climbers should tend to get better, just by learning better tactics. How does this happen? The core skill needed, and
