ascending from 21 to 20 meters in one min is easy to work out, but 10 meters a min is a litle harder. so what is the best practice for doing this in the green with no refrance. Is it just a feeling that this speed will get you there the right time and then an opps that was too slow or too fast.
The way i do it is to say that if i have to ascend from 40m to 30m at 10m pr. min. i just tell myself to get to 35m within 30secs if i'm a little too fast i pause a moment at 35m and if i'm too slow i hurry up.. and then 30secs to get to 30m. If you feel that you're way off you can break it into a few more stops, maybe divide the 10m into 3 segements of 3m and then you know you have about 20secs pr. 3m but this means you have a stopwatch or maybe an aladin tec that shows seconds.

Hope this helps.

Cheers
Jonas
