How could you train during lockdown and how has it been climbing after the lockdown? Really enjoying climbing outside at the moment. There were a few options for me to train during lockdown. The German alpine club had a deal with most gyms so national team members could still train most of the period. I do as well have a fingerboard at home so I was sorted. Going to Allgäu was my first trip since the pre lockdown trip to Sheffield for the CWIF.
