Training in Innsbruck

The US Team took a big commercial bus to the olympic Training Center in Innsbruck today, Tuesday. The gym was a huge complex with lots of steel and glass. The climbing gym had a pretty small floor area but was very TALL.

This was a great route and fun to climb. I am the climber in blue.

The routes were not taped but marked by holds of the same color....it was confusing when a light yellow route was next to a white or dark yellow route. Their rating system is 4-9 and with no relation to our 5. system.

It was a great day of training.













Every morning starts out wet and foggy and usually clears by pm.


In order to write this blog, I go to the very smoky
restaurant in the Hotel Neuner and use the internet. It is slow and not always cooperative with font and pictures. We are looking for a better connection.

Bye for now!
