Climbing Training
I would love to find something similar in the paragliding field. I guess climbing is more physical-motion than flying.
A great blog about climbing training Eva Lopez blog; a professional technical view, deep advices, more than tips, everything about real sport, in spanish.

Rope supplier
Today we’ve been in Crevillente, we spend hundred hours to find a factory, no gps working, no good directions, just a big chaotic industrial estate… Spanish and chinese companies mixed together, and closer to the city the arab business.
The chinese area importing manufactured products. A labyrinth of huge industrial buildings, such a maze!!!
Old and new, just hectic and fun.
Probably we will work with the cord supplier we’ve visit, i knew them from Camper, my contact with them was just held by phone and from distance, has been nice to meet the person i talked by phone years ago.
So far we have not needed any rope… but now we need it for the new bags coming!

tuve que perderme ‘pa llegar hasta tu lado.
Gracias a tus versos, por haberme abrazado,
tendré que quemarme ‘pa llegar hasta tu lado.”
