In 2009, I had the idea that I could become one of the world’s best offwidth climbers just by building and training on wide crack replicas in my cellar. I didn’t have any hard climbing outside to pursue or learn my craft on, so I rationalised that wooden versions of my dream routes would be the […]
Firstly Alice, I want to say a massive congratulations for breaking into the 5.14 club! I think you’ve got to be really proud of the hard work and consistency that you’ve put in and that it’s all been despite an injury set back along the way – impressive! Certainly it’s been inspiring to be a […]
Talking to Hazel Findlay about some of the hardest—and most important—mental tricks to focus on when attacking your project. One thing that many of us do in outdoor season is try projects that we’ve been dreaming of for the last six months. Most of us will take the approach that it’s about doing the training in […]
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 […]
One of the key elements of how we improve what we do at Lattice, is building a strong team out of really capable and passionate people – we want everyone to be as obsessed as possible about getting everything to the best standards! When we first came across Josh Hadley in 2017, he stuck out […]
Dale’s Introduction into The Lattice Family Back in 2016, Dale Comley and Ollie Torr were getting seriously cold and wet trying to climb Deep Blue Sea, a route on the North Face of the Eiger (yes, they are that mad!). Between weather windows they sheltered in Ollie’s tiny Peugeot Partner and started to toy with […]
Who is Remus?! Remus joined the team in 2015 as a result of what was a pivotal motorway service station meeting. We sat down amongst old boxes of McDonalds Happy Meals and Costa coffee cups, working out how on earth we were going to put all the years and years worth of data that I’d […]
