TACTICAL CLIMBING
I'll explain what the tactic is.
What is working or seriously
trying a route?
Working seriously means not
leaving anything to chance and discovering the secret to send the route in the
shortest possible time.
You will do and you must answer
many questions. You will have many doubts and insecurity along the path that
will lead you to climb the route you have chosen.
Where are the resting
positions of the route?
Where will I fall, can I protect the fall?
Where is the hard pass?, locate and imaging resolution of it.
How many bolts I have to clip, how many meters
and quickdraws does the route require?
Do I trust who belay me? Can he or she remind me
of important things while I climb?
Where will I get more tired?
Where can I go to rhythm or fast?
Where should I go slow and pay attention because
it is difficult?
You could detail the route in your
mind and imagine each step, from below to the anchor point. You could make a
video of the route, or a sketch to remember. When you go to sleep you should
think about that... and fall asleep dreaming of the route.
Do not leave anything to chance.
And remember the art of climbing are sequences
of movements.
This could be your mantra:
"Learn a sequence, then you can send the
route"
Luck, Rock Warrior!

17:00 hrs, and we decide to climb this short but beautiful route. One of the best climbs you can ever find in this particular place on the Pirinees. Limestone walls of regular quality rock.
