Is Rock Climbing Really for me?

A few short videos may help potential applicants to the LAM Climbing School decide whether rock climbing is really what they think it is.  "What is Rock Climbing" is self explanatory, and "Rock Climbing" parts 1 & 2 are good introductory instructional videos for all beginning climbers.

"Online Climbing Coach"
(best for experienced climbers)

Your coach for these sessions is Dave MacLeod, a sport scientist, climbing coach, and pro climber based in Glasgow, Scotland.  You can find out more about him at his website.  Dave decided to start a blog to share all the information and experience that he carries around in his head, thus providing us with a good source of advice about training for climbing.  He dissects the latest research, analyzing and reporting news and other people's work on the subject, and provides links to good sources of information elsewhere.

Dave originally studied sport science to help coach himself, and to take his climbing as far as it could go.  His study helped him so much that he decided to make it easier for others climbers to access the same knowledge and apply it.
