More Cave and Comp action

PARISELLA'S & STOKE COMP

With dodgy weather affecting most of the North, Rich and Laura headed over to Parisella's cave.

Rich had a project close to completion and Laura was trying to work on improving at the steep stuff!

Laura managed to casually dispatch Bust Lip (7A+) looking at total ease high up in the roof and Rich finished off a bit of a nemesis with In Life (8A+) across the whole back arch of the cave into Left Wall traverse.

With a successful cave session complete, they headed over to Stoke for the Winter bouldering round 1.

Rich took 1st place in the Men's and Laura 2nd in the ladies (both feeling slightly worse for wear from the efforts in the cave)!

COACHING SESSION

On Sunday. We had Nige Callendar travel down from Newcastle to run a day's coaching session with the team working on specific goal related training, eradicating obvious weaknesses and core conditioning.

We were suitably tired after the 3 hour session and came away with some useful ideas to work on and plenty to think about in terms of structuring our training a little more efficiently.
