Gaddin pojan mietteiä treeneistä

Elikkäs ei kun siitä reenaamaan. Ideana siis on, että jos et täytä nuita vaatimuksia niin ei onnistu. Jos taas menee heittämällä niin et silti välttämättä onnistu tekniikan puutteen vuoksi. Nämä on siis niinku vähimmäisvaatimukset, jotta olis jotain saumoja suorittaa nuo otsikot.

So what are threshold strength levels for a few different mountain sports?

With zero scientific methodology I'd offer the following threshold strength levels for what I would call a "solid" level in each sport:

Alpinism:
-Hike up 3,000 feet in under one hour, 5,000 feet in under three (Messner could reportedly do 1,000M/3,200 feet in under 30 minutes or something...).
-Do 10 pullups (not because pullups are necessary, but because anyone who can do 10 real pullups is sorta trained up)
-Do "Angie" in under 20 minutes if you think you're "elite."
-Climb grade IV ice all day on minimal gear and be relaxed about it, lead 5.6 with a pack.

Technical rock climbing at a solid 5.13 level
-Do 10 pullups on a half-inch ledge.
-Hang a 1 inch ledge for 5-10 seconds one-handed.
-Campus up the smallest rungs in your climbing gym.
-Climb ten 30M pitches of modern mid-5.12 a in a day (all different pitches, no laps).

Trad Rock climbing 5.10:
-Do one pullup on a one-inch rung.
-Do three pullups on a bar.
-Hike 1,000 feet vertical in 30 minutes.
-Climb all day on 5.7 and still think it's fun.

Mixed climbing M12 (without trickery):
-Ten pullups with tools staggered lower head to upper spike.
-Front lever for two seconds, 20 knees to elbows straight.
-One-handed hang 20 seconds, 20 seconds other hand, repeat for ten cycles.
-Onsight M10 sometimes, always do it second try.
