A-May-Zing Spring Challenge - Part 1

blog post by fredhincanada

🌹

I love the idea of @penny’s A-May-Zing Spring Challenge, and not just because of the pun in the title. It’s a good idea to come out of the Northern Hemisphere’s winter months with a sense of bright energy, and this challenge helps all of us refresh a bit. Plus, my birthday is on May 1st, so this is a win-win for me.

The gym vs. outdoors. Your experience?

Group Thread in the great outdoors
mark13

I'm not trying to start a debate regarding preferences, but I'm curious about the experiences of my fellow SG climbers. In the A/S/L thread, quite a few people mention that they've done very little outdoor climbing. As someone that started outdoors, I have some trouble relating. What draws you to …

Gym is for training, off-season, and sharpening skills. Outdoors is where the real climbing happens.

|Turn of the century I was a student at UCLan in Preston. Every week the mountaineering club went to The Northwest Face in Warrington (https://www.northwestface.com/). I had a great time getting the hang of things in a safe environment. Then I did a few weekend excursions to Snowdonia and the Pennines. The first thing I noticed apart from the wonderful fresh air and sense of unlimited space was that climbing grades which were difficult indoors were surprisingly easy outdoors. Brightly coloured handholds indoors do not exist outdoors, so hand and foot holds took a lot longer to locate. Granite can abrade your fingertips quite nastily. You really don't want to climb outside during bad weather, wet rock faces are too dangerous. There are no safety mats outdoors so even on a sunny day I was more wary of falling even with competent partners belaying for me. On balance, although the great outdoors is obviously where it's really at, I prefer the indoor climbing wall at Old Saint Anne's Church. Wish I was still doing it.

Thanks. I have contacted a couple but their email response is not great! I have a few tattoos in mind, on different themes. I will decide the tattoo based on the artist.
