What is your favourite track/genre/artist to climb and train to?
Thankfully this has no right answers :P SHOOT!

In reply to yh001:

I would love to climb Motorhead listening to NSTH, as it was bolted by the Remy brothers to that sound track.

Otherwise, silence.

Surely Curtis Mayfield's 'Move On Up' must be a contender?

It’s raining men (the weathergirls version)

In reply to yh001:

Insomnia, Born Slippy, that kind of stuff.

Pure rage music helps get the last few reps out.

Rage against the machine
- wake up
- killing in the name of
- calm like a bomb
- bulls on parade

I also used to include Beastie Boys song Sabotage however the recent Star Trek film purloined it and ruined it for me.

In reply to yh001:

the sound of silence............................note, not The Sound Of Silence.

In reply to top cat:


I quite like the sound of the Feith Buidhe. And maybe a raven.

We are seriously on the same training wavelength!

In reply to yh001:

In for the kill - La Roux (Skreams let's get ravey mix) is my moon / 50deg board project sending tune.


(I know, 2006 called and it wants my music taste / lifestyle choices back etc)

In reply to alx:

Agreed, when I was still doing weight training a zillion years ago, the gym in my judo club had mainly Sepultura, Metallica, Clawfinger, and Refused in a continuous loop.

For climbing, especially outdoors, I prefer silence.

Erm - R4!

Any fans of 'Absolutely' on here? Their TV show in the early 90's was brilliant, and their return to radio of late is a delight.

In reply to alx:

this is also me

In reply to Mike Highbury:

I didn't know you climbed at AW Stockport.

For CV work* Turning my heartbeat up - The MVPs?



*not that I ever do any...

In reply to yh001:

For altitude stuff I've always been a fan of bring it all back, by s club 7.

Marmion - Schoneberg

Good enough for Ben and Jerry.

In reply to yh001:

Witness the Fitness - Roots Manuva. Good enough for Sharma.

In reply to yh001:

Your Soul by Hippy Sabotage, once Ive reached the top and its time to chill.

In reply to yh001:

Rap by Kris "Odub" Hampton

In reply to Steve Perry:

I have been revisiting the heavy metal of my teens for training tracks. Been listening to a lot of Pantera for strength stuff recently, but RATM is a great shout too!

In reply to RockSteady:


Don't be silly, Sharma doesn't train.

In reply to joe.wahab:

I've been doing the same with early Metallica - Kill Em All, Master of Puppets and all mixed in with some RATM. My arms are stronger but my ears are trashed!

In reply to Steve Perry:


Master of Puppets is on my training list, along with anything by Pantera, Soundgarden and Korn. Chuck in Rammstein and maybe some Snoop or Ice T, circuit board ahoy!

In reply to top cat, Robert Durran and DubyaJamesDubya:




All of these on shuffle.

In reply to yh001:

I'd like to point out to The Quay climbing wall at Exeter that it isn't Olivier Newton John!

In reply to yh001:

Brown Girl In The Ring?

In reply to Kafoozalem:

Olivier Newton John? Is that the knight of the stage? Dear old Larry?

In reply to yh001:

Led Zeppelin The Immigrant Song. Cant wimp around while singing Valhalla I am Coming! Unfortunately in my head this keeps morphing into Donald where's your Troosers, which doesn't have quite the same effect.

In reply to mouseliveson:

Indoors: Rain (The Cult), This Corrosion and other Sisters stuff, techo-y/rocky stuff.

And Come Up And See Me (Make Me Smile)...just because it does! A great "climbing" title too.

In reply to mouseliveson:

Alex Honnold is apparently quite fond of free soloing to Lose Yourself.
