So the winter is done and so the garden ice climbing wall is coming down ( consists of campus rungs on ply hooked onto a ladder, 8m high.

Now the training goal is Ocean Boulevard and Zeppelin, i.e. steep 35m pump fests with few if any rests.

I'm thinking of turning the ice training wall over and climbing the rungs as an overhang. 30minutes hanging upside down will need bigger holds so I'll need to add some woody holds, finger strength isn't the goal - core strength form keeping the hips up is.

All combined with regular bouldering on a proper wall.

Any thoughts?

In reply to mutt:

Just be aware that zeppelin is a cruxy route, with surprisingly good rests before and after a surprisingly hard move. Star Gate is the sustained pumpfest, more like OB (except for the techy groove on star gate). 

No idea about home training for those routes though - I'd do laps on steep routes at the wall.
