Re sole? is it worth doing? http://www.rockclimbinguk.co.uk/forum/discussion/17/re-soles-is-it-worth-doings Sun, 30 Oct 2011 13:40:01 +0000 stubags23 17@/forum/discussions I'm new and just want a bit of advice http://www.rockclimbinguk.co.uk/forum/discussion/21/im-new-and-just-want-a-bit-of-advice Thu, 19 Jan 2012 12:03:25 +0000 mickyp 21@/forum/discussions
I am looking for some advice really, all welcome !

I have been climbing indoors for about 12 months now but find the hours I am available a bit restrictive as the wall is always busy when I can get out. I am looking to do some outdoor climbing as the weather starts to improve, I live in west yorkshire and asking does anyone know the best local places to climb for all levels ?

Thanks]]>

Ways to Improve. http://www.rockclimbinguk.co.uk/forum/discussion/19/ways-to-improve. Wed, 04 Jan 2012 22:47:57 +0000 flynn 19@/forum/discussions
I've been going indoor bouldering for some months now and love it, but to be honest, I'm starting to become impatient with myself as I don't seem to be improving all that much. What have those with experience found to be a successful approach?

Any videos/books worth getting to help with technique, fitness, grip, flexibility and (reading problems/grades which I find perplexing at best!). I realise there is no substitute for getting off your arse and doing it, but feel a more structured approach maybe of benefit.

I'm even considering going the whole shebang and paying for an intensive course over in Llanberis or something as ultimately, my goal is to start going outdoors.

Most appreciated for any comments

What's been your biggest head slapping, eureka moment in your climbing improvement? http://www.rockclimbinguk.co.uk/forum/discussion/7/whats-been-your-biggest-head-slapping-eureka-moment-in-your-climbing-improvements Tue, 19 Jul 2011 20:29:08 +0000 garethhanson 7@/forum/discussions
For me it had to be watching the footwork section in Neil Gresham's Masterclass Volume 1 (especially the climbing on steep ground part with the outside foot and Egyptian techniques). I hit the wall the following day and made immediate gains, and it set me on the path to permanently better footwork.]]>

Actually got on alright at Almscliffe. I was expecting to fail miserably, but I actually managed a few ticks. My mate Rob has written up a report of the evening, with pictures. I'll publish to RCUK next week.]]>
