Always looking for that missing element to my training plans or that hidden technique I never knew existed.Obviously, there never has been a magic bullet, though many books would have you believe so (although I do recommend Training for Climbing). As a result, I began to re-evaluate my own goals and training plans and came to a few conclusions based on what I&#8217;ve read, discussed with various doctors and physical trainers, and my own background.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"padding-bottom:15px\"><strong><a style=\"color:#0000FF\" href=\"http:\/\/www.allclimbing.com\/archive\/2009\/01\/clif-bar-announces-recall-due-to-contaminated-peanut-butter\">Clif Bar Announces Recall Due to Contaminated Peanut Butter<\/a><\/strong>\n<div><small>Posted on Wednesday, January 21st, 2009 in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.allclimbing.com\/?cat=19\">General<\/a><\/small><\/div>\n<div>Clif Bars, a favorite of climbers and outdoor enthusiasts, has issued a recall for some of its popular products including Clif Bars, Clif Builder\u00e2??s Bar, Clif Kid ZBaR, Clif Luna Bar, and Clif Mojo Bars. Basically any Clif product that has peanut butter as an ingredient that was manufactured within a certain timeframe may be part of the recall.

Their overriding view on the tests were:We believe two key factors that distinguish belay devices are the range of friction the device can provide as well as the maximum friction it can achieve.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div>If you enjoy the content on this site, please make sure to subscribe to the RSS feed.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Too many blog posts to handle?
