Limited to climbing once a week - best alternate training option?
|
Schedule and family is going to limit me to climbing outside once a week (at Smith, yeah!). And realistically I won't be making it to the local gym for a number of reasons. |
|
If you make a steep enough woody, 9' ceilings shouldn't be too bad. |
|
Hangboard is probably cheaper and easier to install than a woody. Though not as fun, probably more effective as well. |
|
9' is plenty of room for a climbing wall. If you are serious about climbing well, the investment will be well worth it. Nothing else will equal the training you can do on even a very small wall. Looking at commercial fingerboards, the Moon board seems best. Or you could pick up some wood strips for next to nothing and shape it however you like |

Pull-ups. Alex Lowe did 400 a day. |

Thanks for the feedback everyone. |

Alex just did pullups until he couldn't. Then he would rest for a few minutes and do some more until he couldn't and kept that up until he had done 400. Every day. |

Pullups=waste of time. Alex Lowe was a climbing genius, nuf said. |

I am still healing from slipping and landing on my tailbone on the bank of Boulder Creek about a month ago. It doesn't take much height to mess up badly. |
|
I need to mount a hangboard to the flat ceiling in my garage. Any ideas for least amount of materials with proper support? |
