Still making use of the time off from climbing that I am obliged to have the moment. Some research showed that spending time imagining movements (in this study's case a piano sequence) results in the motor cortex (the area responsible for movement in the brain) expanding by the same amount as if the movements had been actually performed. Amazing!
In my case, having small hands, I have always found slopers quite difficult. So part of this week's meditation has been to think back to sloping moves and imagine my hand sticking to them like glue. I'll let you know the results when I get back to climbing! But if it can work for piano playing then there is no reason it cant work for climbing.
So, let your imagination run wild...
