I am in brussels for a year on a university exchange. I am canadian. I am looking for a top rope partner to train at one of the local gyms in brussels on a biweekly basis (and of course to go to the crags when the weather is nice). My level is 6b-6c (5.11 by canadian grading) Or at least that is what is was in the summer, it will take a few weeks for me to get back up to that level. If you are interested, please let me know. I am dying to go climbing!!

i am going to be in belgium from the 27th through the 29th for climbing. I need a partner, preferably one who knows the area and/or has a way of getting from a city wiht a train station to the climbing location, but any good spotter/belay will do. I climb about 5a-6a, have climbed for about 2 years and am safe, easy going.

I’ve heard that there is plenty of climbing in the Great Smoky Mountains, and I have also heard that there are a few bouldering problems scattered throughout the park. I’m planning a spring break trip there, and I don’t know if I should bring rope and rack, or just my shoes and chalkbag. Any info will be of much help…

If you can get down the coast towards swanage then there is some good sport climbing to be had around dancing ledge(signposted locally), winspit and hedbury(the next bay/quarry to the west). Your best bet is to visit Rockfax.com or even better pick up their dorset guidebook.

RE: Where do you go during the Winter?

For me, winter means a few feet of snow from November through March. So to stay sharp, I mounted a training board in my apartment. The model is a Wood Grips, by Metolius. The wood feels great on my fingers, and it has a mix of 2-, 3-, and 4-finger pockets in both shallow and deep. Plus two jugs and a sloper. I might have cabin fever, but at least my fingers are ready to go when the snow melts!

At the end of your street! That’s a pretty sweet bit of luck right there.

I’ve been up to Burbage on the couple of occasions that it hasn’t been soaking, and yeah the grades seem to have come down a step or two – much more pleasant than in the height of last summer!

Actually I haven’t been yet, but it has just opened at the end of my street. Other than that, grit is supposed to be at its best when it’s cold, but as it has been pissing it down in Sheffield for the last two months I haven’t had a chance to find out ! Hopefully Jan and Feb will have a lot of cold dry weekends. Darkness during the week has severely curtailed my climbing over the last couple of months :(
