Can't give specifics but he is under the guidance of Alan Pryce. (National Boulder Champ, Boulder V12+
outdoors and has climb 31 outdoors). Trains at SICG (St Peters) in Sydney.
Whether you are a 16yr old kid or 35yr old (married, kids, job), climbing hard takes dedication.

Yes, Tom must have a lot of attributes the other wonder kids around the world have (have had) - Sharma,
Graham, the Euro wonder kids Adam Ondra & David Lama (genetics, exceptional power to weight ratio/
grip strength to weight ratio) but whether it's Rob Lebreton over here or tonnes of the Euros in there mid
thirties and older (8a website regularly reports on people in there 40's climbing 30 and harder), age is not a
barrier. The mind is !!!. As long as you can stay injury free, train hard (and smart), you can continue to
climb harder as you get older. But remember, you do need to sacrafice the time to achieve your climbing
goals.
