    My father taught me how to climb, just as he taught me how to play guitar and ski—badly, I could say. But that isn’t quite right. Perhaps impatiently or unevenly. As a teacher, he managed to combine a sense of high expectations with a stunning lack of actual instruction. I would follow his skin track… https://climbingzine.com/suicide-pirates-andrew-allport/

    Well I seem to be taking a while to sort my Kalymnos vids, but here's a bit of a roundup of day 3 of a fantastic trip. Gammos is a new crag near Arginonta Valley, a short walk-in from Arginonta beach and well worth the visit. The lines were nice, the belay stances good, and plenty in the low-mid grades to play on. One of the more memorable features of the day, apart from finding my own flow, was Yoshi in beast-mode, following literally everything I climbed - including Pethera, which was by far the hardest route of the day and a serious challenge to onsight! #Climbing #Kalymnos #SportClimbing #LimestoneClimbing #ClimbingIsMyPassion #TryHard #NewCrags

    It's so satisfying sending a route at the end of a session when I'm ready to go home but decide to give the project one last go.

    It's so satisfying sending a route at the end of a session when I'm ready to go home but decide to give the project one last go. Today I was working a long traversing problem (v5ish) that has a fun mix of heel hooks, throws and fancy footwork while locked off on marginal slopers. Last time I was in the gym (before holiday travel) I finally linked all the sections and today I was consistently getting past the crux but just didn't have the energy for the easy-ish but dynamic move that followed. Was ready to pack it in but decided one more go to to dial in the first 2/3rds of the route wouldn't hurt... And everything clicked. Just floated through all the hard moves and hit the final dynamic move with that satisfying stick that tells you your hand is **not** coming off and then easily reached the top. Maybe resigning myself to waiting a few more days to send freed up enough mental energy to give me that little boost I needed.#bouldering #climbing #climber

    Bouldering is commonly referred to as a resistance-based sport, but there is a significant aerobic demand that can impact athletic performance and recovery time. https://www.climbing.com/skills/how-to-train-respiratory-muscles-for-climbing/
