Last weeks view! Enjoying @kletterzentruminnsbruck with the beautyful landscape around #Innsbruck.
The density of #routes above 8a is high. So a mandatory place to visit for #competition #climber.
Still you will find plenty of routes from beginners to intermediate climbing grades as well.
Especially the replicas of outdoorboulders were cool to try!
We had fun and will be back here (secret info: the cakes in the bistro are always worth the trainingbreak) 😉
As climbing evolves i see more #athletes who perform at a high level in #bouldering #lead and #speed.
As i work with athletes of regional and national youth teams i can see a rising level of performance. While i really enjoy the skillsset of these young guns it was a difficult year considering the amount of #injuries i have seen.
While there already are discussions about for example ‚bad fall risks‘ in bouldering on the worldcup stage – i also see a rising number of injuries linked to loadmanagement/volume/intensities in the youth.
Young athletes are more vulnerable to those injuries for example while growth spurts. Their body changes a lot during puberty. And i think we need to protect the next generation.
We all are responsible to help the next generation find their way: parents, trainers, physios, doctors, role models in the sport.
Lets invest in prevention to increase the amount of healthy, painfree climbers!
There is #evidence and #commonsense that fingerstrenght is important for #climbingperformanceAs #fingers are highly loaded in #climbing there are also a lot of injuries and overloadinjuries…But what if you come from the other side: How can you prepare your fingers for high loads?You would load them on a regular basis for adaptations in all tissues to be prepared for your climb…..how can you do this in a controlled way/rehab protocol?… you get it: #Hangboard#hangboarding is also possible as ’no hangs‘ with your feet on the ground…Of course there are several things to consider if you want to start hangboarding and it might be difficult to find the right protocol, the right finger/shoulderposition etc.But it could be worth the process!
Wie jedes Jahr haben wir auch in diesem Herbst an verschiedenen Plauschwettkämpfen teilgenommen.
Der Spass an diesen Anlässen ist immer auf einem hohen Level. Es wird gemeinsam geknobelt, an Betas gefeilt, angefeuert gejubelt…
… manchmal natürlich auch gewisse Kraftausdrücke verwendet 😉
Diese geteilte Freude am Lösen von Bewegungsproblemen verbindet uns! Wir kämpfen bis zum Schluss, genießen dann gemeinsam das Essen und Trinken… sinnieren nochmals über die Boulder… was wir geschafft haben und was uns unmöglich schien…
…und gehen müde und zufrieden heim…
Zufrieden macht uns das Treffen von Gleichgesinnten und das Wiedersehen mit vielen bekannten Gesichtern und der Fight an der Wand…
Darum kommen wir auch immer wieder und geniessen diese Events! Danke allen Eventveranstaltern!
While i added some #tindeq tests to the #screeningtests i wanted to take #pictures of myself using it…. guess what: it didn’t survive….藍
Hope this is a good testresult for my fingers…
but it is probably due to a weak area in the wood… 路
Ein sehr gelungener Anlass mit Bouldern aller Arten und Sorten, guter Stimmung und einem perfekten Fotografen, der auch diese schöne Foto geschossen hat (und natürlich viele mehr! Danke @knobelphoto ). Stolz bin ich v.a. auf mein #kneebar Top, den Koordinationssprungboulder und den #toecatch der mir zwar eine offene Blase, aber auch viel Freude bescherte! Der Rest will wohl noch beübt werden. Danke @glkbboulderhalle für die tollen #Boulder und das feine Znacht! Ich komme gerne wieder!
