What's your VO2 max? Calc. your real respiratory condition.

man, i definitel try not to penetrate bleeding snatch, but it sounds like you're into that, and that's cool.
the last time i've climbed that much, is the last time i went to the valley, which would be several years ago. what does that matter? all i'm saying is that it doesn't take any kind of endurance to actually climb multpitch, though you vehemently disagree with that for some reason. maybe you only simul-climb without swinging leads at all? or maybe you count the hike into a climb as being part of your endurance factor?

Victory Whip in da House. Yeah.
cool I am so glad I finally got to read this whole fun thread. Gotta love rrc.com
OK so I will some it up.
As pigsteak said, only elite climbers really need to be concerned with VO2 max. So if you can not onsite 5.12(or 5.13 for that matter) then the last thing you need to worry about is your VO2 max, just climb more until you can onsite 5.12/5.13. And as Moonbeam said, if you are an elite climber you peobably already have a good VO2 max and acclimation is the only thing you need to worry when climbing at high elevation.
I let HO sum up the tampon stuff, that's his turf.

I have to agree with rhunt/ pigsteak et al (my resources). Unless you really suck at climbing (by Red River Standards, where the break in grade is still 5.10a, despite the Red having a few more moderates now easier than 5.10), climbing 5.10/5.11 shouldn't require that much cardio fitness.
Now, don't get me wrong. I have seen people huffing and puffing on 5.9's and 5.10's in the Red, but, like I said, they really sucked at climbing, or were just very unfit.
