Why I have to give up climbing:
"Columnist Ed Blonz, who holds a Ph.D. in nutrition, puts it in perspective this way: Eating 100 charcoal-grilled steaks will statistically increase your odds of dying by one in a million—but so will rock climbing for 1.5 minutes, bicycle riding for 10 minutes, and being a 60-year-old man for 20 minutes. In other words, the risks are greatly overrated."
From this article about carcinogens: http://www.slate.com/id/2143573
How many climbing minutes have you clocked?

The only escape is up.
How about some serious, scientific studies on training to climb....

If you've noticed how many climbers are mathematicians/physicists/engineers--or you are one of them--this is a fun read:
