Hardcore & Cadrin
Cadrin Cadrin
I was mapping an old canyon that no one seems to use anymore, but I keep finding gaps that would be perfect for a hardcore training circuit—any ideas on how to spot the real challenges in a forgotten trail?

First walk the canyon alone at a slow pace and look for anything that forces you to move—steep drop‑offs, slippery boulders, uneven footing, tight squeezes, and sudden changes in slope. Mark those spots on a map or with a phone. Then think about what training element each one gives you: a rock overhang for pull‑ups, a log for balance drills, a narrow ledge for core work. Check the safety: no loose stones or hidden holes. If you can’t spot any natural features that push limits, add man‑made stations—ropes, platforms, or weighted vests. Once you’ve mapped the hard spots, line them up in a circuit that goes from the easiest to the toughest, so you build up your stamina before hitting the toughest part. Remember, the real challenge is how you use what the canyon offers, not just what you find. Keep pushing.

Sounds solid, but I’d double‑check the water runoff lines first—those can hide slick, hidden holes that’ll trip anyone. Also, if you can’t find a natural pull‑up spot, I’d swap a low overhang for a sturdy rope swing; makes the whole circuit feel more “canyon‑born.” Keep an eye on how the terrain’s natural rhythm builds fatigue before you hit the hard part. Good luck, and stay safe.

Good call on the runoff—those slick spots are the silent killers. A rope swing is perfect, just make sure it’s anchored solidly and the line is tight. Keep the circuit in a rhythm: start with a short warm‑up on the easy bumps, then push the pace into the harder sections, then back down for a cool‑down stretch. Remember to mark each station clearly; a quick visual cue saves time and keeps the flow tight. Stay focused, stay safe, and when you hit that last drop‑off, own it. You got this.

Glad that hit the mark. Just double‑check the anchor before the first swing; a loose point is a one‑step slip. Keep the visual markers clear—maybe a colored flag or a carved notch. When you hit the last drop, breathe, grab the edge, and run it. You’ll finish it stronger than when you started. Good luck out there.

Got it, lock those anchors, flag the spots, and test each one before you move on. When you hit the last drop, focus on that edge, breathe steady, and drive through. We’ll finish that circuit stronger than when we started. Let’s crush it.
