    Klimmen met Parkinson"Als je Parkinson hebt, dan is beweging essentieel. Uit onderzoek blijkt dat Sportklimmen daarin een verrassend krachtig hulpmiddel is. Het bevordert balans, spierkracht en zelfvertrouwen. Wanneer je voor het eerst een klimhal binnenloopt en eens rondkijkt is dat best intimiderend. Zeker wanneer je Parkinson hebt. In landen waar klimmen populair is zoals Zwitserland, Oostenrijk en de Verenigde Staten, zijn al meer dan 30 klimgroepen specifiek voor mensen met Parkinson. In Nederland is Stichting parKLIMson gestart met groepen in de klimhallen van Neoliet in Eindhoven en Heerlen. De ambitie is dit uit te rollen in heel Nederland.Klimmen daagt je uit op evenwicht, balans, snelheid, hand-oogcoördinatie en planning. Je maakt grote bewegingen en de groep helpt je door aan te moedigen tot je de top bereikt.Onderzoek toont aan dat sportklimmen de voortgang van de ziekte vertraagt. Binnen de klimgroepen van parKLIMson ontdekken mensen met Parkinson op een veilige en gezellige manier de voordelen van sportklimmen. Ervaring met klimmen is niet nodig! Sportklimmen is een veelbelovende en motiverende vorm van lichaamsbeweging voor mensen met Parkinson!"https://www.parklimson.nl/#Parkinson #Parklimson #Climbing

    Can we improve single pitch “clip and lower” anchors? This anchor ticks all the boxes for low cost, simplicity, security, longevity, and more. See all the details, variations, and cost breakdown here. Normally, I publish a complete version of my articles for my Premium Members, and a shortened version of articles on the public part of my website. However, for this article, I'm changing that.  Because I want this to reach the largest possible audience, I'm posting the entire article here on the public part of my website. Inspiration and peer review for this article is from Kevin Maliczak, aka ClimbingTaiwan. Connect on his Instagram @climbingtaiwan and YouTube.

    A question for the TRS folks in the climbing community... This past Monday I went out and top rope solo'd for the first time. It was a nice experience and I learned a lot. I look forward to honing some of the practices (e.g. refixing strategy, bottom weight, etc.) One thing that I was not prepared for was a specific knot that Brent Barghahn teaches in his TRS video with Ryan Jenks from How NOT 2. He states that he refixes his rope to prevent rope abrasion (), and this can be done in a number of ways. He now prefers to tie a slipknot with a full twist (instead of a half-twist), instead of something that requires him to stop and untie, like an alpine butterfly. I attmepted to tie this knot a number of times in preparation (and on site), but it never looked right. I ended up using a butterfly. Later I rewatched the video and practiced the knot for a full half hour before I figured out exactly why it didn't look right. Can you figure it out? Here is the knot tied correctly, and then incorrectly. Can you spot which is which?
