Poleclimbing competitions - Are you up for a challenge?

[bob]

exactly: and if you can do it without stopping for a breather (or a fag) half way up so much the better : )

 

you mean there isnt a nice platform to have a fag and a cup of tea on the way up

[Rentachimp]

Would be a great idea - if I knew myself : )

I'll ask Terry for you - he's fast.

 

Have you had a go before ?

 

Sort of. I've been climbing for three years lol.

 

Not on actual competition poles, no

[Rentachimp]

Fast ascent? Just DO IT!

 

haha brilliant

[Mr Ed]

toe spikes are in adifferent league to conventional climbing irons.

Toe spikes enable you to run up the pole. You cant stand still on them though.

Not a clue where I get my energy from I'm afraid.

 

Are you going to the show again this year ?

if so come and say hello, or give it a go.

And don't i know it.

 

I amy sound like a bit of a sore loser but i found out the hard way how slow they are. Un-rigging the pole would be crap on toes
