I wanted to do something a little different this week. As the writer for this site, everything you read here was written by me. That means when I want to read things, I must go elsewhere. There are numerous internet resources I use, which I’ll cover at another time (and in my upcoming “Other Resources” […]

Patreon Goal: Fund an Original Survey on Nutrition and Climbing
Hey Everyone, The third article on weight loss will drop later this week, but in the meantime I wanted to catch everyone up on some background work I’ve been doing on Patreon. Some of you may know that I use Patreon as a modest means of support for this website. I never really invested a […]

New Year 2018: Reflections & Goals
Here we are once again: another trip around the sun, another thirteen orbits of the moon, another year. Last year went by fast. I suppose that just happens as you get older, but having half of any year dominated by appointments vis-a-vis your health doesn’t do much to slow it down! At any rate, 2017 […]

Climbing Nutrition’s 2017 in Review
In just a few short days, 2017 will be over and we’ll embark into the New Year of 2018. Overall, it was a good year for Climbing Nutrition. Personally, I’ve had better(!), but that saga will continue into the New Year. As 2017 winds up, I’d like to revisit some of the top articles of […]

Reflections on 2016 and Goals for 2017
This is the second New Year this blog has seen. Over this time, 133,898 words have been written across 75 posts (an average of 1,785 words per post). Given the distance of the Earth’s orbit, that means I write approximately one word every 14,000 kilometers, which doesn’t sound very impressive until you think about how […]

Is Soy Dangerous for Men?
Recently, a reader wrote in with the following concern: A doctor, not at all a nutritionist, told me that soy products are dangerous for young men (I’m 20) as they contain estrogens, which are typical feminine hormones. Is this justified? Should I really avoid soy products? The young man who submitted the question had recently […]

Stay Cool for Summer Performance
It’s that time of year, at least here in the northern hemisphere, when climbers start shrinking from the heat. This past weekend at Rocky Mountain National Park, at an elevation of almost 10,000 feet (about 3,000 meters), the temperature was over 75° Fahrenheit (24° Celsius)—and it was actually a “cool” day, at least down in valley […]

A Complete Overview of Energy Pools in Climbing
I had a request awhile back to thoroughly go over the various places energy can come from for a climb. I’ve referenced many of the pools several times, but never really diagrammed them out to the point you can see how they interplay. Actually, this is a post I’ve wanted to write for awhile, but didn’t really […]

New Year’s Resolutions 2016
Well, it’s two weeks into the New Year already and I’ve been terrible—absolutely terrible—about getting new content out there! I really apologize for this, my sister has been in town all the way until just two days ago, and I haven’t been good about managing my time. But, she’s gone now, and it’s time to […]

The Top 10 Posts of 2015
It’s hard to believe the year is over! I began this blog in April, and began writing for it in earnest in May, and eight short months later here we are. While it’s only a partial year, I know many of you joined me partway through and may not have seen or read all of […]
