Mr Blister,
Yes it felt a great sense of acievement, especially as I have had vertigo for most of my life. Just one of those things, but I felt absolutely fine on this, but then again it hasn't really got any big shear drops.
Feriol,
Thanks!
I've competed and trained for most of my life, and love it.
Most of the grip exercises we/I use would definitely help your rock climbing, and even your scrambling if you needed some grip strength/endurance.
I have coached since the 80's and in that time have coached quite a few rock climbers.
