Well, we´ve been kind of loaded with different things in our lives lately. Nothing to do about that but to smile and live to climb another day. I guess we all have these moments as we progress through our climbing lives. But hell, it stinks! I wish we would have more to play monkeys on the wall. But studies and work are taking their fair share, and not to mention the freaking elbows and shoulders. Maybe this is a good thing, making every visit to the climbing gym an exiting adventure!

Anyways, we´ve been talking lately about developing a new idea for the site. We want to ”give something back”. Clishe! Yeah we know, but maybe this will make our site more popular for one thing. As for popular, climbhard.com was mentioned in the norwegian climbing magazine ”klatring” in the last edition. Really cool! (Even if it only were on the bottom of the page with a small writing..hehe). But about the new development, we could use some ideas. We´ve been brewing on a new thing. A kind of training diary, or a climbing profile were the climbers abilites will be explicitly printed in black. In this idea the user will be able to tailor his or her own training to raise his or her climbing abilites. It will resemble role playing games where you level up your character etc. Only this will be a stats page for the real you. Ofcourse the design and usability will be of grave importance in this project if it is to work.

The idea is only something that we´ve been talking loosely about, but we think it really could be an interesting thing. If your have any comments or other ideas for what you miss in climbing sites, this is the time.

Thanks for your time. Hope to hear from you all!
