Strong and conquering foreign walls, averaging 8As, doing 8Bs for projects
NUS alumni happily married and happily being a father
And he is going to Thailand soon to finish up Jai Dum 8B in Krabi over a weekend (not sure how to spell..it is called 'black lungs' in Thai language)
Finally I saw his climbing style during Rock On
He has so much power and it seems nothing can deter that power
He does not have a formal coach in his undergraduate years
Kiat says he trained like there was no tomorrow
I feel that his power brought him up to that height while he was doing the route
I had never been an advocate in strength, climbing wise
Thus justifying my apparent relaxed attitude in training for power
Could it be that technique can bring you only so far for novice climbs
And power will form the dizzying heights where your climbing career will advance
With the technique forming the base of all those mad house energy
If you are strong as Yam, you can boulder sick problems
And again utilizing that power to climb hard core routes
I noticed that some local good climbers are not that accomplished in bouldering
Seems that climbing and bouldering are two seperate subsets all together
But Yam proved that to be wrong
The hardest part of being in a fork road is to decide which path to take
To be unnerving strong like Yam or good in climbing like Jups and Philip
Both climbing styles are (oh so) different
And there is open house at NUS later damn
