Repeaters would likely be a local muscular endurance workout. I have understood the theory as repeaters make the muscles grow bigger, max strength teaches your brain how to use all the muscles.

Thanks for the reply Aaron. The big vert plan has the ME workouts beginning in week one. Some of the comments in the plan reference ADS. Does this mean it can be appropriate to start the big vert plan while fixing some ADS? My goals this year all contain large amounts of elevation change, so I am interested in improving my ability to go uphill (aren’t we all). I don’t want to overdo it though. Thanks for any insights.

I have the UD Scram pack and was simul-climbing with a soft flask in the chest pocket. I did squirt myself in the face a couple of times when I accidentally bumped the bit valve. When the flask is in the pocket it’s under pressure, but in the back of a pack it’s not. I didn’t have any problems inside the pack, even when throwing it around. Another option is to keep the flask only for water outside the pack and keep a platypus water bottle (sealed with a screw cap) inside. Refill as necessary.

Thanks for the reply, I’ll plan on focusing on running first and maybe just hangboarding or simply just climbing. Follow up question, what’s generally considered ‘enough’ running, post-race, to keep my aerobic fitness relatively high while I transition into climbing for a few months? Eventually, once there is enough snow, I’d be working on ski touring/ski mountaineering but there will be a solid 2 months of not training for a race and purely climbing.

Thanks!
