2023.2.23 outdoor crack lead practice meeting was held.
The first crack practice meeting in a long time was held with the support of Mr. J Nakamura of Bunanokai.
Even though the face climbed well, it was hard to find a jam on the crack.
While there are many people who struggle, there are also people who are good at cracking.
A boy who is studying in the United States also participates.
Originally he didn’t have much climbing experience, but due to his strong desire, he first practiced on the top rope at the gym and participated in the event.
Despite suffering from jet lag, he completed one climb.
I want you to continue in America, and I want you to participate again when you return to Japan!
After all, it does not end only with cracks, but also the face.
Session with “Flashy” which was homework.
I’m sure you’re tired of cracking, but some people RP.
And this time I went down the mountain with a headlight.
It was a nice day of climbing.
The crack practice meeting will continue on a regular basis, so please join us!
