At the weekend I....

Didn't go climbing. Went to Wilmslow on Saturday and met the outlaws, worked for 9.5hrs on Sunday.

Today I am going to realise my campus goals and nail 1-4-7.

Dude, I'm sure you will realise your goal, although I am in James' camp regarding the campus boards. I do feel that there is very little between the Foundry (for example) and the School board. In fact, dare I suggest, the friction on the School rungs feels better than the foundry ones, although I am referring to the middle-left set at the school. I also think the total free space at the school allows a good amount of leg helicoptering whereas at the foundry, one has to assume a little more control or risk hurty toes on the brickwork! Yeouch!

Its all good trianing and I suppose as long as you are consistent, then what does it matter. Afterall, the increments that campus board training inflicts on us (based on the distance between rungs) is quite frankly ridiculous. Given we oftne use them to try maximal effort moves, going from one distance you can just do to the next involves hiking 20 cm (or using the example of 1-5-7 to 1-5-8 being something like a 17% greater "travelling" distance! You wouldnt get that in the highjump, weight lifting or anything else for that matter. A sort of mid rung would be much more helpful, say like rung 8.5 at the school (often referred to incorrectly as rung "9" - but I suppose looks better on the Moon t-shirts).

There's my two penneth. Tonight, Mathew, I will mostly be pottering about some grit circuit trying not to aggrevate my own codfinger (I think a slightly hurty lateral ligament on left index finger knuckle. Depending how it goes, might join John at Cressbook tomoz.
Allez!

codfinger- a tweaky digit. usually involves much frustration upon its owner, who just wants to crank. typically arrive at times when one is going well. dislikes small holds.
ps colette ben has installed an intermediate rung, to aid the jump.
