Making the choice...


I've been lucky enough to be climbing with a cool young Welsh guy (Owan) over the last few weeks. I'm not coaching him, but I am kind of in a stealth way! We did a 7b+ the other day at the Orme and I reckon we will finish his year with an 8a. It's a good team, flows easy and we are of similar fitness with an equal focus on projecting some nice Welsh sport routes. Today he made an important choice in this years climbing. Happy days...


I suppose the journey is to nudge a 7c out the bag quickly (which is imminent), then a long fight for a 7c+ whilst simultaneously working a longer term 8a project then accidentally do the 8a before the 7c+! Climbing's weird man...

"...This training season I decided to get all the help I can to speed up my improvement. I needed guidance to work towards my goals in long term. I also needed more vision and opinions about my exercises and weak links. I am glad I can share my training with Mark..." (Ville Mustonen, Finland)


" I met Mark in Glen Nevis on his return to climbing to check out some lines he had in mind for me, I wasn't really training at this point but after a day or two talking and training with him I had a much more structured idea of what to do to improve and I did" (Kev Shields)
