Outdoor Tech: CrossFit and Climbing

http://outdoortech.blogspot.com/2008/05/crossfit-and-climbing.html

Saturday, May 03, 2008. I've been asked a number of times about the value of CrossFit. Style training for climbers. For those unaware, this is one of the latest fads to emerge in the fitness world (every few years, there is always something "new and improved" to entice the public and media). I address this subject in the second edition of my book Climbing: Training for Peak Performance. Which is now off to the printer. Here is the excerpt:. However, there is also a high risk of acute injury from many of ...

Outdoor Tech: Study: Geezers on Everest

http://outdoortech.blogspot.com/2008/03/geezers-on-everest.html

Tuesday, March 25, 2008. Study: Geezers on Everest. Now that the mad dash to the South side of Everest has begun. It looks to be a banner year for accidents and fatalities.

As if that combination wasn't bad enough, a study published last Fall in the journal Biology Letters. But the odds of dying also go up past the age of 60, which really sucks. Until that age, the odds of your becom...

Indeed, rock climbing probably doesn't occur to many as a way to improve heart and lung function. But researchers in Italy put climbing to the test and found that it's actually very aerobic. According to a report just published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research. This level of exertion (about 73% of VO2max) is what the ACS...

Outdoor Tech: New Frostbite Procedure

http://outdoortech.blogspot.com/2008/03/new-frostbite-procedure.html

Thursday, March 20, 2008. File this one under: Good to know, hope I never need it. I've never had frostbite though I've certainly had plenty of cases of "screaming meanies" (ask any ice climber if you don't know what that is). But as a mountaineer, frostbite is something that I need to be prepared for- quite a few of my friends have lost bits of fingers and toes. Gives a nice summary of the research. Here is the PowerPoint presentation. If you want full details and the typical gory photos.
