competition climbing

[charlie]

Is there many on here that do competetive climbing? if so what kind of training do you do before a comp?

[Hollands]

Just turning up is the hardest part mate. Have a plan for your aerial rescue. Get your footlocking under 30sec. Just enjoy it mate. First comp is pretty daunting, but watch and talk to other guys and the more you do the better you get. I've done about 4 comps and I'm only just feeling relaxed about them. The good guys practise alot!

ive only been doing it for 1 year or so.its tough going but yes practice does help,especially footlock and work climbing.work climb and aerial rescue carry the most points.its good fun and you get to meet fellow climbers and learn so much in a short space of time.after the 1st one you are hooked.been competing out here in nz and hope to carry on in europe this year.

Haha when is this decider happening then?

 

as of training for Comps goes. best is to go out with guys who have done them before and run through the events. and then pratice pratice pratice and it doesnt really help going out the nite before as many of us know, as much as we like to think it does.

try looking in the comps thread, or talking to peeps on here to get to a comp.

 

arbsister or arbjobsnick are the best to talk to.

hi,

 

i try and do a few comps a yr and me and two mates get around eaurope doing it and tend to do pretty well, we do train and train all the time, in the winter its more fitness and rock climbing due to the fact out side is cold wet and crap. then in the summer we do practice on work climbs throwline and rescue together and for some reason do footlock alone, i like to relax and focus.

 

just depends how much you wanna do it and how much you care. i really enjoy them and know other people who love it. practice has to be controlled and precise no mistakes and get ur mates to be really hard on you and be critical about what you do.

 

some people dont train and are very good but ive only been doing them for 3 or 4 yrs so have been trying to accelerate my ability by practice and it works.

 

good luck hope it works out for you.

 

ps the best people to listen to about comps are the ones who do them.
