Un articol postat pe 8a.nu de Dr.8a Björn Alber, despre efectele benefice ale escaladei asupra sanatatii fizice si mentale:

Imagine a sport that would need for you to be active and eat healthy to be light enough to make you able to perform in it, imagine a sport that would put a moderately high but long and steady demand on your cardiovascular and energy delivery systems, imagine a sport that would need for you to be proportionally strong and agile with a full range of motion in all joints, imagine a sport that put you in, seemingly, life and death situations that would trigger your beneficial hormones inclusive of antidepressants but at the same time not really putting you in mortal danger, a sport that doesn’t need for you to consume enormous amounts of fossil energy to participate, imagine a sport where you could be performing a the highest level after you’ve turned fourty and in to your fifties, where you could be chosen performer of the year at eighty!Imagine rock climbing!
