Does anyone have any off season training tips? ie. work outs

Yea there is no off season......just drink more in-between climbing

off season.... as in no available ice to climb

dry tool, that's about all the rock in most of AK is good for anyways.

Evan has the idea, go scratch your way up some rock!

any advice on how to chose the right picks. i have BD reactors right now but im not sure if itsokay to use the picks on them surrently

T rated picks, or the Fusion pick would be fine. for dry tooling, I would go with the Fusion's, as they preform better on rock.

I put up some 2x4s with holes of varying depths drilled in them up in my garage, used deck screws and mounted them right to the studs. and added some foot holds at the bottom, and a couple eye-bolts in the ceiling. Just lap up and down, up and down, and when you get tired just hook the giant top of the boards, get creative and try different moves, or toss a pack on for a workout.
