Dell Hell

Objective: Climbing Endurance

Training: Easy traversing, 45 minutes

Notes: A mellow day between two hard days.

Bonus: This article has been on my mind lately, link. "Maximal Oxygen Consumption" has little or no bearing on climbing. "Lactate Threshold" and "Efficiency" are of critical importance to sport climbing. The article makes the argument for focused training on "Efficiency" for less technical sports. Given that climbing is a very technical sport, I wonder what the last figure would look like for climbing. Today was another step on my continued quest for "Efficiency".
