Navigation through the maze of advice for the self-coached climber. 9 out of 10 climbers are stuck. They are stuck on the same things. Some of the things that hold climbers back from improving their climbing standard are the same as they were 20 years ago: motivation, managing time, and not being able to analyse and correct their own basic technical or tactical errors. But they are also stuck for a new set of reasons. Twenty years ago, the problem was that no one knew how to train for climbing. Information was scarce. Today, it's the opposite problem. Book after book lists technique, exercises and tips. Navigating this barrage of information, filtering out the irrelevent and homing in on what matters to your life, your climbing and your circumstances has been the limiting step for today's climber. This 176 page book is the first to present the science of improving at climbing in a way that will actually help you make confident decisions and stay focused on the things that will make the biggest difference. £15
Few thought that Rhapsody E11 would be bettered anytime soon, but the first ascent of Echo Wall high on the north face of Ben Nevis brought another rise in world standards in trad climbing. Echo Wall is a strong contender for the world’s hardest traditional rock climb. The film follows Dave’s preparation and attempts on Echo Wall, through some of Scotland’s most beautiful mountains and climbing venues. Dave’s preparation routes; a free solo of Darwin Dixit (8c) in Spain and the winter route Don’t Die (XI) on Ben Nevis are also featured. Filmed and produced by Dave’s wife Claire MacLeod, this film charts the story of a new level of determination and calculated risk taking in rock climbing. Main Feature: 44 minutes. PAL only. (DVD extras: 28 minutes - Spanish Sport climbing, Glen Nevis climbing and an extended interview with Jimmy Marshall). >> view trailer
