    Thanks Dave,

    After reading more of the New Alpinism, and reading your response I am confident that foot-based aerobic exercise like trail running would be a really valuable cross-training method, especially for someone like me with terrible areobic efficiency.

    Although it may sound immodest I believe my rock climbing skills are adequate, bouldering around v10 and sport climbing around 5.12. ARC training would be to help manage pump and fatigue, because like many boulderers my “endurance” limits me on routes, and after watching Dave MacLeod’s and others’ videos on circuit training (essentially ARC training) to manage pump I believe it would be useful.
