You realize that Edge is a corgi right? They are the most agile dogs by far, so you better watch out.

don't sweat it bro, people who dis comps are the ones who have no idea what climbing is about. oh, and they're generally gigantic pussies who are scared of competing and try to hide behind "climbing is for me" statements and "purity" bullshit.

That is such a true statement! I can't believe the insight you possess!

John, do you mind pming me as to where exactly that climbing spot you were talking about is located? I'm kind of interested...

I can't exactly do that. It is on private land, and I am the only one allowed to climb there because I know the owner. That, and the place is not exactly real.

That has to be among the worse training for climbing advice I have ever wasted my time with. Yike.

The best part is that there is a dude in the comments who claims to climb v10 that says it is all great training advice.

so its been over a week how did you do? and what did you do?

The comp is tommorow. March 6th.
So far, I've taken it easy for the past week. I did alot stretching and ate well balanced diet. I feel great! I'll post again tommorow after the comp Tongue

The night before the comp, I got a good 10 hours of sleep. When i woke up, I had a bagel and a banana for breakfast. When I got to the comp a good half hour early and scoped out all the different routes so I got a good idea of what I was going to be dealing with.

15 minutes before the comp, I jump roped for 5 mintues then I did some light stretching in my forearms/fingers. Then I traversed for 10 minutes and did an entire body stretch.

I entered the comp and got 5th place out of 13 climbers in my category. There was speed climbing at the end which was also much fun. Cool

I have yet to see advice from anyone besides Shockabuku. He gave me some good advice for speed climbing competition and I thank him for that.

Just because you lack the skill to see the hold, doen't mean it isn't there. Not all means to get oneself up to a goal are marked with tape or chalk.
