CLIMBING COMPETITION JANUARY 2019

We went to The Climbing Works on Monday 28th January 2018 for an alternative experience in sport.  For people who have never been to this hidden gem, it’s a brilliant experience for everyone.  For some, it’s the ultimate expression of climbing. No ropes, no gear – just the joy of pure movement, in relative safety, not too high above the ground.

For some, it’s a never-ending quest for technical perfection. The hardest moves will nearly always be on boulders.  For some, it’s the proven method to gain power, suppleness and technique.  It’s also the proven method of becoming a better sport climber, a better traditional climber.  You apply the gains to your chosen discipline, whatever it may be.

We bouldered as three teams of 6 children from Year 6 and Year 5, clambering merrily over anything they could get their hands on, sharing their new experience with each other.  Bouldering is such a natural movement, it utilises muscle groups in a much more holistic way than many other, more artificial, types of exercise.  Balance, suppleness and technique also playing their part.

 

It was a hard but lots of fun.  We had to travel quite a long way but the journey was fantastic on the new X17 bus.  Climbing and bouldering is an experience you can do on your own or with friends – a never-ending quest for technical perfection.
