The Blog
A sport climbing trip to Mallorca has been booked for April.

To get the most out of this trip I'm going to be training and this blog is a motivational tool. By putting my goals and my training in such a public place I can only be encouraged to train harder and meet those goals.

The Goals
I haven't done any sport climbing since the beginning of last summer. I had a few trips to Malham and was redpointing 7a+.

My overriding goal for the Mallorca trip is to Onsight 7a+.

A leser goal is to repoint a 7c, but there are so many amazing looking lines at lower grades in Mallorca that the route will have to be something really special to make me spend an afternoon trying it!

The Training
I'm into my second week of my training now. Yesterday I had my second power endurance session at the wall. To train PE I have been doing interval training on a 30 move, 6c circuit on a 30 degree board, resting 4.5 minutes between each repitition.

The first session I failed on the 7th lap, but this session I managed 12 before failing on the 13th. I am massively pleased with this. Its the first time I've trained power endurance and the shock of it on my system seems to have resulted in this massive improvement!

Next session (Friday) I'm going to reduce the rest to just three minutes between intervals.

I'll post soon my short term goals and my training plan for the next twelve weeks. I'll also post some pictures and videos for ultimate psyche!
