Technique Training 19th November @Castle

At the Wall
1

Hi there,
I am planning to do a half-day climbing training at the Castle for NLMC members on the 19th November. The aim of the training is to work on climbing technique. Target audience is everyone who thinks that he/she has room for improvement.

It is not yet clear how the training is going to look in detail but I would like to cater it to you as much as possible. In case you are interested in joining, please take 5 min. time and fill in this form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSetozu0yjMQ4zjuNvBxpyNZQuxzuJRrcV0p4ii5DZXyvP2Epg/viewform?usp=sf_link

On the basis of the results, I will draft the training agenda and you can decide if you like to join or not.

Some preliminary ideas for what we can do:

  • video analysis
  • test strategies to push grade limits and projecting routes
  • basic techniques on foot work, gripping handholds, body positioning in different types of climbing, ‘twisting reaches’ (this is a made up translation of the German word ‘eindrehen’)
  • falling

Please bear in mind that I am not a professional climbing trainer. So please don’t expect anything super sophisticated and that I see this also as an opportunity to learn from conducting such a training.

Happy to hear your thoughts and ideas :slight_smile:

Hi all,

Hi all,
I am looking forward to seeing you on Saturday in the Castle.

We will meet up at 10am and I suggest to meet where there is this little Yoga area in the middle level above entry.

Don’t forget some lunch, rope for lead climbing, and your smartphone for some videoing.

See you there :wink:
