Ω Welcome to our latest climbing media innovation, a semi-regular diatribe of poorly sorted thoughts and cobbled together nonsense from your favourite self-appointed doyen of New Zealand pebble-wrestling: me.
In each edition, I will tackle the big issues of New Zealand climbing such as:
- Pro-climbing: how far would you go for a pair of shoes at 30% below wholesale plus shipping?
- Climbing forums: 5 ways to improve your climbing forum experience.
- Personal climbing blogs: fact or fiction?
- NZ grading: what are the grade standards in New Zealand and why can’t anyone climb them?
As part of Powerband’s market offering, I will go the extra mile to bring you in-depth analysis and opinions, and promise to be as thorough, complete and accurate as time permits. Where time does not permit, I’ll make something up.
So, stay tuned for the first real edition of PalmerSutra: Are My Long Levers Holding Me Back? Coming this week. Ω
Looking forward to hearing more about these excellent topics. I’d go as far as to have lever-shortening surgery if my non-existent sponsors would work it so that nobody was mean to me on climbing forums.
Can’t wait to hear how Forums will turn yo into an Alpine Climber…
