Back in Albarracín again - May 2024
Another year and another trip back to our favourite bouldering destination Albarracin!
Great to revisit and tick off some previous projects, and to try some all new boluders and sectors.
This video has almost all our successful ticks broken down by sector. Grades ranging from 6a through to a few 7a classics like, sandstone traverse, pilas hacendado and the Stand version of zarzamora.

Weekend bouldering in Albarracin - May 2022

Returned to Albarracin for a quick weekend break in May 2022, but it's taken a long time, to find the time to edit and publish the video. Not to many tops to share, but a lot of projects started. Very please to get my first 7a boulder, called Zooruya in the Parking sector. And Zoe was getting very close to topping the very tricky L'emportment del lament! We had a longer return trip in October 2...

Short tour of our Home Climbing Wall “the Monkey ManCave” that we were lucky enough to build during the first UK lockdown. It’s not getting used as much now the real gyms are open again, and did suffer some weather damage during the winter.

    Does Zoe have a sports background? Because it seems that she has an insane amount of core power, more than enough to crush those yellow shells - the only missing part is a bit more efficient technique (hint: on those shell-like holds, heel hooks are your best buddies ;)

    • @midlifeclimbers

      No specific sports background, just lots of varied exercise has been paying dividends for Zoe this last year. And she has finally overcome her nemesis the Sea Shell holds! Although we didn’t get it on video!

    Great video! It’s really nice to see a breakdown of the centre and your experiences. Such a shame that our comp wall was out of action - you will have to come back another time to experience that as we do feel that it compliments the rest of the centre well. Really interesting to hear your feedback about the transition between grades as this is something we are actively working on at the moment with the setting to help with this step up between the bands. Hopefully it will be more dialled on your next visit to us!

    • @midlifeclimbers
      @midlifeclimbers 3 года назад

      It seems to be a 50/50 split across different centers, with some choosing to have an overlap in the grades and others with the separation. We're not sure which is the best way to do it, but just something we thought future visitors might want to know. We really do like the way you've added the Symbols with the grades to make it easier to remember how hard a climb you're about to attempt. We're hoping for another visit in June some time, to give your comp wall a go, some of the problems being set looked awesome!
