I spent a few days down in the heat of central Texas. The locals were calling it cold, but it was T-shirt weather for any ice climber. I could have trained in a gym and did a little bit of that, but I really need the specific movements of ice climbing, and a lot of 'em. The video below shows the depths I had to sink to. Combined with a ring workout it was pretty good training.
The reason for all of this specific training is the
Endless Ascent effort, to benefit the dZi foundation. The site is live, very nice work from Faction Media, thanks!
I'm in Whistler briefly for a show then back home to train more. 36 days to go, yeah!
