I’ll be at TCA this very afternoon from 3pm for short notice consults but I’ll mainly be working with the junior bouldering squad to measure their crush strength. I’m interested in what will happen. Watch this space for results
Injury screening (and sneaky crush) clinic this afternoon
I’ll be at TCA this afternoon to answer any questions you might have about injury, taping or rehab. Also will have ‘The Crushinator’ with me should anyone fancy a squeeze
TCA Crush League results

All quiet on the (South) Western front
