[Tom: Welcome to a special guest blog! We work with two climbers over in Germany, Mischa Hawker-Yates and Cora Schubert, who happen to go out together and also climb/train together! When we they came over to the UK for the Women’s Training Symposium we thought it would be a great chance to have Mischa observe […]
CLIMBING GOALS! Many of us will be thinking about our goals for this coming year (New Year’s Day recovery always does that!) and we wanted to give you a bit of a guide on how to do this effectively. We get to watch many goals chased, achieved and sometimes fallen-short of each year. Naturally, we […]
After the great feedback we received from our recent community discussion on the Rate of Force Development (i.e. contact strength) with Taylor Reed from The Beta Angel Project, we thought we should do another one! This time we wanted to discuss a specific piece of research from the most extensive finger strength researcher in the […]
We thought it’d be cool to give a bit of an insight into what it’s like as a Lattice Board assessor and how our team operate. Lots of people know about the data, the rationale for testing and what kind of results we see out the other end but the faces behind the data collection […]
Over the last few years the list-loving geeks over at ukbouldering.com have maintained a list of the top 100 or so British male sport climbers and the top 100 or so British female sport climbers. Like all good lists the criteria for inclusion are quite specific and slightly arbitrary: No traverses No boulder + route […]

Ash is one of our longest serving Lattice Accredited assessors, and a bit of a beast to boot! He’s recently had a run of good form with ascents of Fat Lip V13 at Raven Tor and Ropes of Maui V13 in the Llanberis pass so we thought we’d ask him a few questions. Could you […]
We love it when a client gets to enjoy the fruits of their labour, so when Mike Adams told us he’d had a good trip to Geyikbayiri in Turkey we couldn’t help but ask him for a few more details! What were the main events of the trip? There were two big achievements during my […]
Tom has been interviewing the rest of the Lattice team recently so I thought I’d turn the tables and get him to answer a few questions! Here’s the stuff that’s already out in the public domain: Tom has been climbing and coaching climbing for quite a few years now. He’s particularly handy on the cracks, with highlights […]
We’ve been working with Gwen (and her coach Simon Rawlinson) for a while now and it’s one of the coach-athlete teams that we’re most proud of. Many people might not be aware that we genuinely enjoy working alongside other coaches to deliver a “team” effort into the support of an athlete and it’s a balanced […]
