    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

    Looking to set up a belay/rappel station in my garage just for practice, trying out new things, and general faffery. I'm not super handy but can work my way around simple power tools. Anyway, my current plan is to: drill holes into a piece of 2x4 install tee nuts at the back (or maybe threaded inserts at the front, or failing that, nuts at the back.) install the hangers using M12 bolts (as per hanger specs) screw that unit directly into wall studs in my garage using deck screws slap on some quicklinks to the hangers and call it a day Thoughts? Hanging a picture frame is one thing, but supporting body weight is another entirely! I suppose it doesn't have to, but it'd be nice for it to be able to.

    With the General Election just days away, what might party promises mean for the outdoors? We've studied the manifestos and consulted the campaign groups, to find out who's saying what. https://www.ukclimbing.com/forums/t.php?n=772290
