Climbing NZ Lead National Champs 2017; Q2 Paraclimbing Video, Antnz

Antnz on August 29, 2017

This was my Second Qualification round at the Climbing NZ Lead Climbing Championships. This is the qualifier I fell off. From watching this I think I rushed slightly, didn’t double check my foot placement and when I went to load up my left leg my foot rolled off the hold.

Please bare with me, I didn’t get the rest and recovery I expected to after the competition, so I will be posting pics and my thoughts over the next few days!

We made a little history!

Wow what a weekend!

On the 19th and 20th of August the Climbing NZ National Lead Championships was held at Extreme Edge, Glen Eden. This year was the first time that Para/Adaptive climbers participated in an offical Climbing NZ event.

Yep, I’ve been hectic!

The start of new developments!

Climbed so hard, my hands were shaking!

With the Paraclimbing event looming, I’ve managed to get into VertX a couple of times to try and get some (even if only a little) wall time in while also trying to do my maintenance exercises, keeping ADNZ Ben exercised, general living and getting involved in the Enabling Good Lives System Transformation.

Exciting Paraclimbing Announcement!

Paraclimbing will be at Climbing NZ Lead Championships – Auckland 2017

Wow, what a week!

Antnz on July 11, 2017

It’s been a full on week!

Life is always interesting and more so when you tend to speak up for yourself and those you identify with and this week I’ve learnt that it a big way. Sometimes, even though it feels sometimes you’re talking to yourself, people are in fact listening.

Throwback Thursday

Antnz on June 28, 2017

Back in early (10 – 12) March I got out to Donnelleys’ Flats, Tararua Forest Park with Outdoor Training NZ, Manawatu Branch. I was helping out with teaching on a Bronze Duke of Edinburgh Hillary Award outdoor training. Below is my trip report.

A Successful trip out.

I’ve been trying to write this blog for over a week. I’ve started a couple of times and just couldn’t form the words on the page. I’ve found this a hard trip report to write as although I got home safely not accomplishing “Plan A” has been bugging me; it’s that “goal achiever” part of me raring it’s head.

So here goes…

Throwback Thursday

Antnz on April 26, 2017

I’d thought I’d start the blog with a Throwback Thursday. A reasonably recent throwback to February this year; this will be a trip I will always remember as a highlight. You will find a full trip report on the “Trip Reports” page and you will find the pictures on the “Pictures” (you may have to scroll down a little as I’ve uploaded other trip albums as well).

Welcome to AntnzVentures

Antnz on April 13, 2017

Hey everyone. Welcome to the AntnzVentures page. I’ll be blogging, adding trip albums & reports and talking about adaptive outdoors & fitness tricks and tips to enable people to make the most of what they’ve got.

Please bear with me as I develop this site, making and maintaining a website is new to me so I may stumble along at times (which sounds a bit like my walking to be honest! Haha) but I’ll figure it out as I go and if you’ve got any ideas or things you’d like to see please let me know, either through comments or drop me an email (see the “Contact Details” link).

Looking forward to seeing this develop and thanks for all those that have supported and encouraged me in my slightly crazy endeavors!
