Coaching sessions With Farhath Al-Masrur -
Farhath approached me and asked for some coaching sessions to learn lead climbing. His goal is to be capable climber and belayer.
Over the course of over 10 sessions he became competent climber (lead) in the F5 / F5+ level and good belayer for lead climbing. His laze fare approached has changed and he is really switched on. His progress is really good.
When he joined at the beginning he was just after rope beginners course (entry top rope climber) - now he can follow climbing regimes and climbs well every week. If there are some weeks that i cannot be there he diligently just follows our training program.
Which consist:
Ground based warm up, followed by up to 15 easy climbs - bouldering, then he have 5 minutes break to get harness and short rope.
He gets on autobelays and does 4x4 regime with clips clipping for lead climbing practice. each time resting for 4 minutes.
On one of the sessions i have asked him to substitute his 4x4 training with waterfall model for endurance gains. (Farhath is bodybuilder - and he believes that he just need more strength and then he will be better) - since the beginning i was fighting with that approach to let him see that other aspects are also important.
