Training & Buildering

I'm going climbing on Sunday, to Rubicon Wall, as I haven't been out in a while, I've just been training indoors, training quite specifically for 'The Press' (Font 7b+/V9) at Rubicon Wall. I've also been doing some 'Buildering', yeah, it's bouldering, but on buildings instead of rock.

This is what me and my friends have to do sometimes, when were short of money and want to climb outside. Me and my friend Josh Ellis made a video for the other day for http://www.red-tips.com/ . It shows one of the best buildering problems in Scunthorpe, called 'No Parking'. It was first climbed earlier this year and became an instant classic, it starts at the back of a roof, and climbs the full length of the roof outwards on metal girder's.

The link is here: http://red-tips.webs.com/apps/videos/videos/view/2571050-liam-copley-no-parking-font-7a-ish It's about Font 6c+/7a , mostly depending on the degree of heel & toe hooks you use. Regardless of the grade, this is a three star problem and should be on anybody buildering tick-list. Hope you like the video, don't take me too seriously on it please!
