Nearby are parks with very steep hills, ranging from 20 to 100 foot. Got me thinking about making some use from the local resources.
A bit about me, been climbing indoor only casually for almost 2 years.
Any ideas or techniques for training on the hills?
The other day we climbed up and down in the snow using hiking poles. Total fun + a sweaty workout.
One idea to cut blocks of 2x4 wood (or ?). Nail them into the ground for grabbing, using 8 or 10 inch landscape spikes. Once finished, pop out and reuse for the next session.
Hopefully some hills are iced over from sledding and give this a try in a few days.

Why would you do this? Try some Yak Trax on your boots or invest in some strap-on crampoons.
