The rock climbing sounds cool, you have some good weather at the moment?
Nice workout as well, do you alternate between pulling from the floor and from the rack? Solid strength there.

It was indoor climbing at a local shop with soe walls. I would say these days i pull from the rack a little bit more often. I find it a little more difficult than pulling from the floor as there is no leg drive and relies all on movement from a deadstop only using your back.
