This week end we have been very brave, because we went to the Blue Mountains and faced the cold winter. Temperature in the Bluies is usually 5 to 10 degrees less than in Sydney. This time we came with beanie and gloves.
I made up a short film with Franck climbing a 19ish route (6a) and Nico at the belay. Great climb on an amazing wall. The crag is called Big Top and is located at 15 min by car from Blackheath. The only indication we had to find the track was a little stone off the road representing Australia.
ReelRockTour is organizing another Filmmaking Competition this year.
That can be good fun to make a proper Climbing Film for a contest.
The rules are quite simple:

3 months ago I have been diagnosed a Golfer's Elbow on each arm. Actually it is started to be painful 6 months ago, but I did not really pay attention, thinking that will be fixed by itself.
I have been doing a bit a research about the subject, and this is what I found:
Golfer's elbow is predominantly a tendon issue. The condition is called Golfer's elbow because in making a golf swing this tendon is stressed. Golfer's elbow, or medial epicondylitis, is an inflammatory condition of the elbow which in some ways is similar to tennis elbow.
Inflammation of flexor forearm muscles causing medial elbow pain. Caused by repetitive stress at the muscle-tendon junction and its origin at the medial epicondyle.
The reason I had this injury is probably because I have not done enough warm before starting training or I have warmed up okay but have just pushed too hard.
The best possible treatment involves stopping the activity that caused your golfer's elbow in the first place.
One of the best treatments for golfer's elbow if you must continue the activity is a strap or brace around the forearm.
Alternative golfer's elbow treatments include massage therapy, acupuncture, local steroid injection, ultrasound and laser treatments.
The following picture is a good illustration of rehabilitation exercises:

Le thème de la moustache prend également dans d'autres domaines. Comme quoi, le concept est bon !
C'est par là
Péché sur Pofroad, mais je me sens obligé de relayer la trouvaille.
Je regrette chaque jour un peu plus de ne pas capter France Culture.
Une émission sur la varappe mais... autrement: je vous laisse écouter, c'est délicieux. Elle s'inscrit dans le cycle Philosophie du sport.

Vous noterez qu'à aucun moment on n'entend:
"'tain, c'est morpho ce pas" ou encore "vas-y c'est rando". Etonnant !
