This video features Nate Woods from the Lower Mainland doing the first ascent at Elbow Lake. According to Marco, this problem is similar to No Troblems but with 30+ ft of climbing. Nate added a hard sit start to an old classic, Suspension of Disbelief V10. Not sure of the new rating but it definitely V10+. Filmed and edited by Marco Lefebvre.
Sean McColl and Domen Skofic on Warming Up
Warming up properly is essential to any climber, whether they are getting ready for competition or going outside. A poor warm up schedule can lead to an early pump, a negative performance, and even injury. Here is what Sean and Domen had to say about their warm up during competition. Again, these videos are quite detailed but I think everyone could take something away from what these competitors had to say.
