John Churcher: The Eiger vs Blind Man
http://www.johnchurcherparaclimber.com/2015/08/the-eiger-vs-blind-man.html
Sunday, 2 August 2015. The Eiger vs Blind Man. The day came when we finally left the uk and headed for the Swiss Alps. I was sure all the training would pay off, but I had to wait and see. We arrived on the 18th July. Team sprits were high. We arrived at the campsite later that afternoon the weather was great. We set up camp and started weather watching. All we needed now was a three day window in which to do the climb, we waited and waited. The window finally came on Sat 25th July. So off we set. GB Par...

John Churcher: Busy times ahead...
http://www.johnchurcherparaclimber.com/2015/05/busy-times-ahead.html
Friday, 22 May 2015. For the last 5 months i've been doing extra training. This has involved doing a lot more aerobic workouts. I also did some mountain training in North Wales with a succsseful ascent of Tryfan. Most of which was done in a storm and temperatures of -1 and lower. The main aim of this was to get much fitter to do the Eiger, the plus side of this is that it has helped my climbing. So first comp is in Imst at the end of June so still have a few more weeks of hard training. Click to see more.

I went to Yarncliff where i seconded 2 routes and lead a severe. It felt strange at first but it soon came back to me,climbing outside is much easier since there is nobody telling me to get off that hold which is not part of my route.

John Churcher: Dry Tooling
http://www.johnchurcherparaclimber.com/2014/11/dry-tooling.html
Sunday, 23 November 2014. Busy couple of weeks. Been preparing for some of the British Dry Tooling events. Entered Round 4 of the BTS at Rope Race, Stockport. A very well thought out event. Some ingenious problems. Everything from screws on a traverse, mortar chipped out of a brick wall to a hanging log. Only attempted a routes, so consequently a low score. Still getting used to using the axes, only fourth time. Off to The Leeds Wall for Round 5 of BTS on Saturday. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

http://www.johnchurcherparaclimber.com/2015/07/1st-international-paraclimbing-comp-of.html
Friday, 3 July 2015. 1st International paraclimbing comp of 2015. Last weekend was the first International paraclimbing competition of 2015. The format was the same as last year with 3 routes on both days. The comp was well attended with 12 federations being represented. The atmosphere was the most relaxed one i have been to yet. Day one went well with me finishing in 3rd place by one point. This was with one route being moved because of heavy rain, the route i did was not for my category.
