Simon Nadin is a British world cup winning rock climber and professional photographer.〔 ==Climbing== Nadin was a climbing all-rounder and pioneered routes which set new levels in climbing.〔 He started climbing on gritstone outcrops, such as The Roaches, close to his home in Buxton and using nuts made in his school metalwork lessons.〔 Within a year of starting climbing he was climbing at E6 level〔 and in later years frequently onsight-soloed E4, E5 or harder routes. The discrepancy between his redpoint and competition standard is cited in the 1993 book ''Performance rock climbing'' (Dale Goddard & Udo Neumann) as being the start of the trend of climbers training specifically for one type of climbing. In 1989, having only been a professional climber for 6 months, he became the first IFSC Climbing World Cup champion, beating Didier Raboutou at the final round in Lyon with an audience of 8000 people. He also came first in that round of the World Cup winning £3000 for this.〔 Nadin was nearly disqualified twice for late arrival due to not seeing instructions put up in the official hotel, as the UK team was staying in a youth hostel.〔 Later in 1989 he unsuccessfully attempted to free climb ''The Nose'' on El Capitan with Lynn Hill. Nadin's training methods were unusual - training 'heavy' in the winter, drinking lots of beer - but still able to complete difficult ascents having not climbed for a period of time. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Simon Nadin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
