All Climbing advertisers
March 30, 2006
With regard to advertising on All Climbing, my policy is to only have advertisements that relate directly to climbers. I’m only interested in having advertising on the site that would interest me as a climber. I tend to like the Google AdSense ads on the right side of the page as they usually deliver relevant ads to the content of the page. Additionally, I rotate ads for companies that I use and recommend: REI, Mountain Gear, and Sierra Trading Post. Occasionally, these companies provide special offers that I want to take advantage of myself. When I see these extra deals, I plan on posting them.
Here’s one I thought I would pass along:
Free ground Shipping from Mountain Gear on any size order, including sale items.
As always, if anyone has any comments, concerns, or complaints, feel free to comment.

Benefits of climbing
March 30, 2006
I ran across an article today on the physical and health benefits of climbing at GoUpstate.com. Here’s an excerpt:
“Engaging in a physical activity like rock climbing can tip the balance of a person’s calories consumed versus calories burned,” said Professor Frank Powell of Furman University’s Health and Exercise Sciences Department. “With that kind of exercise and moderating your diet, it’s certainly possible that it will have a significant effect.”
“Because of the nature of climbing, a person’s strength-to-body-weight ratio is a good predictor of success,” Powell said. “Slighter-built people do better than more ponderous ones, so as soon as a climber starts to lose some excess weight, they find out that they’re more agile on the rocks and making better climbs, and then they start to say, ‘OK, I’ve got to be more selective with my diet if I want the energy to be able to do what I love.’ “
