With the New Year I thought that there was no better time to start a climbing training blog. It is especially good timing for me as I have just returned to climbing after a month off, recovering from a ruptured A2 pulley on my Right ring finger. Hopes for my climbing this year are to really push myself and be climbing in the mid 7's on sport, gain confidence on trad climbing and position within the top 20 in the Southern Indoor Bouldering Lead: http://www.sibl.co.uk/.
About Me
- Richard Fox
- Bournemouth, Dorset, United Kingdom
- I have been climbing regularly for four years and have taken and interest in development and improvement within the sport. I have also started working as a Climbing Coach and Assistant Wall Manager at Hot Rocks Climbing Wall, Bournemouth. Through personal experience and interaction with members of the climbing community I have gained understanding of many aspects that can inhibit a climber from reaching their full potential, such as; motivation, injury, fear of falling, time constraints and so on. I am not claiming to know all the answers for these problems, more to use the knowledge I have learnt over my time climbing to help others who face the same challenges. I currently climb mid 6’s in sport, the hardest route I have done was a 7a but since I have only climbed one I cannot claim to climb at that grade. Living in Dorset with the wealth of sport climbing available I have yet to push myself on trad climbing but hope to do so in the future. If you have any questions fell free to email me and I will try my best to offer an answer.
