Huge thanks @LatticeTraining for showing how weak I am! It was very interesting to see how much weaker I'm compared to other people climbing the same grades. Confirms my previous feeling about this. But also shows that climbing is not only about how Strong you are.

And the best part the love for climbing is not linked to how hard we climb!
However if you have love for training or want to get one, or curious about the tests I've done check out - latticetraining.com

Extra love for @mammut and everyone else who supports me to create these videos.
You can do so by visiting my website: hardiseasy.com
That makes a big difference and is the main reason that allows me do this project!
Deep Thanks!
Ben
