Le Ten Commandments of Bouldering:

Thou shall always spot regardless of who the climber is

Thou shall always spot with one's hands at the climber's lower back

Thou shall always keep the climber's lower back within the range of one's two hands

Thou shall spot the climber throughout the whole route or until the climber comes down /falls off

Thou shall be clever and land on one's feet when one falls off

Should Thou not be able to do Clause 5, then the spotter obviously must help

Therefore, Thou must spot properly and fulfil Clause 3, especially when the climber falls

Thou shall wait for one's turn at the wall

Thou shall be intelligent and look around to make sure that no one else is climbing a route that clashes with the route Thou wants to climb before ascending the wall

Last of all, should Thou not trust Thou's spotter, then Thou must use Thou's brains and drag more mats over so that Thou can land more safely when Thou falls off

-regards,
shrompy

maybe we should make a shirt with all these clauses at the back.
please try your best to adhere to these commandments.
safety first please!
if not, try to spread around to your friends.
this is put up for your benifit since you guys don't really know the importance of spotting and some simple bouldering ettiqutte.
so here they are!
please make it a point to attempt to follow these commandments.
only then can bouldering become safer and less people will go around falling off and almost hurting themselves.

-regards,
shrompy

Consequences of not following Commandments:

When the climber falls and no one is spotting, there is a higher probability that the climber can get hurt.

If you spot anywhere else, you might end up injuring the climber further.

If the lower back is not kept within the range of your two hands, then what is the use of spotting?

What is the use of spotting the climber for a while? What if the climber falls off suddenly and you had just decided not to spot? What is the use then, of your role as a spotter?

When you land on your feet, you minimise injury. If you land on your arms/legs in an awkward position, you can end up breaking or spraining things. If you land on your butt, you can end up breaking your back/backbone.

The spotter is supposed to help push the climber as the climber falls into a standing position so that the climber can land on his feet and nowhere else. Otherwise, Consequence 5 might be seen.

The spotter's role is very important especially as the climber falls so that the climber will not break/sprain anything, so that the climber will not fall out of the mats and so that the climber will not hit the pillars or another person in the B area.

If you do not wait, there would be a congestion at the walls and you'd just waste energy as you hang on the walls waiting for the people infront of you to get moving.

When two people climb different routes that clash, not only would you waste your energy, you'd also waste your attempt should you manage to 'improve' on your route but cannot finish the rest of it since the other person is blocking you.

If you are doing a big move, you might fall out of the mats should you not be able to do the move. Therefore it would be safer if there were more mats to fall on to.

-regards,
shrompy

i seriously hope that you guys understand the importance of safety when you are bouldering now.
please do not take safety for granted.
you guys do know that the mats in the B area are quite thin and holely.
so please don't land on them any-old-how because you can injure yourself.
please also do not assume that the 'strong' climbers will never fall.
再强者还会失手的。
please also do not sit too close to the walls when someone is climbing.
if you happened to get kicked in the face or anywhere else, or squashed when the climber falls on you, it isn't our fault.
you have been warned.
please also be vigilant and watch what the climber is doing.
if the route that the climber is doing involves certain swinging or jumping, you are advised to get out of the way to avoid getting hit.
if you are injured or are resting on the mats, try not to sit/lie down in a position that is in the way of the climber and the spotter.
you'd get even more injured.
(i can't think of anymore, but these are just my observations during training.)

minimise injury and climb more safely, happily and better!~

-regards,
shrompy

The show's called: Generation Ex and rock climbing will be featured in the 4th episode i think.
Here's the link: http://ch5.mediacorptv.com/shows/variety/view/1515/1/.html

have fun people! and jiayou for muggings!

hohum((:

2007-06-13T10:29:00.000+08:00

cheers to the creation of a blog! ahah.
hope you guys will discover a new fangled passion for climbing in your blood.. and NEVER grow sian of it! (so there jh! xp)

don't be afraid to approach the seniors when and ever you may need help in climbing((:
(tho, yes, im pretty frank and offend ppl like free like that.. sorry man! :S )
you can ask the coach too.. we all would be more than happy to help you guys!

anyway, there's more to climbing than you may think.. it's not all about finger strength or how many pullups you can do. climbing can help you grow physically and mentally :D you can also make new friends((:

yup. hope you guys will enjoy this 'new' experience and learn to love it!

There's a few sub-chapters to climbing.. (ahah, reminds you of studying no?)
Here's a few: Mental Strength, Technique, Physical Strength
And obviously you have to find the time to do conditioning (a lovely break from studying no?:D ) and to 'condition' your muscles too.. Otherwise it'd be 'bye-bye' to your 'hardwork' in building them up in the first place! So have fun people!

And it also helps to set targets/goals and go all out to acheive them (like say, I wanna finish this route during this training, and work towards it etc) but, try not to get stuck on one route only.. there are so many to try and what a waste it would be if you didn't try some other route which you discover, may be a nicer one and more fun! Try to err.. try at least 1 or 2 'new' routes or sth.. You may discover a 'hidden' talent or love of yours for that route/wall/move.. heh. im ranting. lol.

You can also watch your diet too.. ahah. If you really believe those stuff, then you're advised not to eat too much pork (or red meat for that matter..), to avoid fried, oily food (a perfect example is fast food) and to eat more white meat (if possible). So try to layoff junkfoods and red meat and eat more fish, fruits and veg! ahah. rrriiggghttt. :D still, if that doesn't really improve your climbing.. you can still be sure that you have a healthier diet:p hope that's been helpful to you guys.. ahah. like very lorsor.. ahah. ok, i shall stop nowxp

2007-06-07T11:43:00.000+08:00

THE RELAY SYSTEM(please do not edit this post)

2007-06-06T17:58:00.001+08:00

In both cases, the chain will go on depending on who receives the message first. To make sure that the relay system is effective, you must ensure that you sent the message(s) to the next person down the chain whom you are supposed to send to, no matter what. The chain will end by the first person, since she/she receives the message from either one person who should be sending her. Since it confirms that one successful chain has occured.

TO SUMMARISE: JUST TAKE NOTE OF WHO YOU SHOULD SEND AND PASS DOWN THE MESSAGE(S) TO THE 2 PERSON YOU SHOULD SEND.

PLEASE REMEMBER TO INCLUDE "TJCCC:" BEFORE THE MESSAGE
THANKS (: NICE DAY PEOPLE
