As for my article, well, it delves into that age old debate about whether it's best to quest after the next grade at all costs, or consolidate a base at each grade before moving up the ladder. We take a special look at Adam Ondra and riff about specialists vs generalists in climbing.
As always, I'm looking for training-related questions to answer in future installments, so please email them through (upskillclimbing AT gmail.com). The next question chosen for publishing wins a copy of the upcoming Australian climbing flick Smitten on DVD. I don't get many questions, so if you ask a good question you're in with a big chance.
While we're at it, why not bite the bullet and subscribe to ROCK? For the price of a low-end quickdraw (in Australia anyway!), four issues will just show up in your mailbox. What a nice surprise.

nice article on a topic all climbers pushing their limits shoould know about. On a pedantic note, I don't think that photo of Ondra is Overshadow. The rock is not at all like Malham, I would suggest it is Oliana.
I thought that myself regarding the photo Nick. ROCK sourced the image. However, if you have a search the Googleweb you'll find photos of Ondra wearing the exact same gear on his Overshadow send day.
