MCofS Elite Youth Academies
Bouldering Training Day
Venue: TCA
Date: 5th January 2012 (Saturday)
At the start of the New Year and following on from the extremely successful events of 2012 we are hitting of 2013 with a Bouldering Training Event at The Climbing Academy Glasgow.
If you want an example of what the day will be like, check out this video of the MCofS Elite Youth Academy Prep Event for the December GB Team Selection:
Day Plan
10:00 - for registration – McofS payment through invoice for entry into wall for all those attending.
10:30 - Start for all categories (YC, YB, YA, Junior )
In Groups attempt stylised problems with Coach – A selection of problems aimed at identifying weaknesses in specific areas of bouldering technique set around centre. Each problem will be given a style tag and grade depending on the level of difficulty of that problem in that style e.g. Easy Dyno, Medium Dyno, Hard Dyno, Expert Dyno… There will be more to the problems than just simply who can pull the hardest, it’s about who has got the skill and if you cannot climb a hard problem in one style but you can in another, it might identify a weakness in your performance.
13:30 – 14:30 - Lunch
14:30 – 17:30 Projects – Based on the La Sportiva Legends bouldering competition. Everyone gets to spend 2 hours working their selected boulder problems on the competition wall with the coach who will provide advice on technique and approach. After the hour is up, everyone will be put into a finals format event where they have to repeat the problems once again.
