    C is for climbing… but also for Champion. During the 2009 fall Himalaya climbing season, I got an incredible invitation to join a climbing team for an attempt on Pumori, sponsored by Champion Hanesbrands. (The game of gossip telephone in the Khumbu region that season was about the underwear model climbing Pumori — I was neither an underwear model, nor did I climb Pumori. The route was far more technical than my skills appropriate for, and altitude sickness kept me no higher than this — the summit of Kala Patthar. But my word what a trip. I’m sure other pics from that trip will show up here as the alphabet goes on. I wish I still had my old glory days climbing pictures. I was so young, so fit, so strong. So scared. So so scared. I’ve learned so much about emotional regulation and fear and stress and performance … I can’t believe I did as much as I did as scared as I did in those climbing days. #meAtoZ #climbing #travel #adventure #nepal #himalaya

    youtube.com/watch?v=Dh_l-L2oC1…Fingerboard Row Pyramids drill description: Choose a pair of comfortable holds to train Perform Fingerboard Rows with supported feet in a Pyramid fashion: 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 Shake out between row series but don’t dismount the fingerboard Beginners: start with 10-8-7 and do 1 set/session Advanced: start going up the Pyramid again: 1-2-3-4… and do up to 5 sets/session with 15-minute rests between setsAnyone tried this protocol and have made experience about it?Seem like a good solution to an annoying problem. Getting pumped on crimps is acceptable and expected, it just happen, but all those half-jugs and half-finger grip or pinch holds that seem okay'ish often surprises with how fast they make you feel pumped. I'm gonna try this for a month to see what impact it can have on bouldering/climbing, hopefully it will reduce this aspect that often limit progress.#climbing #bouldering

    Yesterday's men's semifinal bouldering round was too hard—with just seven tops in total and only one athlete topping two boulders—but the setters totally redeemed themselves in today's women's semifinal. https://www.climbing.com/competition/olympics/womens-boulder-semifinal-paris-olympics/
