Me too, I used to love climbing and was making great improvements but had to take a long break after seriously damaging a finger learning to snowboard. I then never got back into it because my climbing partners moved away and it was always expensive to do. It's a 60 mile round trip to the nearest good indoor climbing wall, £10 entry plus fuel to drive there, real rock is even further away.

Where do you live?! Bad times. :(

I live in Sheffield, so within 15 mins I can get to the Works and the Edge, within 45mins I can get to the Foundry or Awesome Walls, and outdoors all the best grit is about 1.5 hours away by public transport, or 20min drive. But I don't drive.

Salisbury. The nearest decent wall is Calshot, it's an awesome wall but 30 miles away so by the time you have taken into account entry, fuel and then the beer/food afterwards it was getting pretty expensive! They have now started doing monthly memberships but even that is expensive and it would mean you have to commit to 1-2 trips per week to make it worthwhile. For real rock I was lucky enough to have Portland and Swanage within about 90 minutes drive but after wrecking my finger I never got back into it.

When I say I injured my finger snowboarding, I mean I really f**ked it up. When I got an x-ray and they said it was 'just' ligament damage I wanted to cry and I was unable to climb for over 1 year, even several years later it can still be painful.

Been on a random video rampage for the last half an hour, found this.

Can someone explain whether it's possible for this guy to actually perform these tricks consecutively or are some of them just a matter of trial and error? (they get pretty insane towards the end)
