Comparison of climbing-specific strength and endurance between lead and boulder climbers.
PLoS ONE, 2019 Albeit differences in climbing-specific strength of the forearms have been demonstrated between lead and boulder climbers, little is known about the potential differences in force and power output of the upper body pulling-apparatus between disciplines ...

Geometric Entropy for Lead vs Top-Rope Rock Climbing [PDF]
International Journal of Exercise Science, 2016 International Journal of Exercise Science 9(2): 168-174, 2016. The complexity of movement of a rock climber’s center of mass during an ascent has been described as geometric entropy (GE). It has been proposed that lower geometric entropy could represent more fluid and economical movement during climbing.

Climbing fiber burst size and olivary sub-threshold oscillations in a network setting. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2012 The inferior olivary nucleus provides one of the two main inputs to the cerebellum: the so-called climbing fibers. Activation of climbing fibers is generally believed to be related to timing of motor commands and/or motor learning.

Climbing Mechanism Design and Fuzzy PID-Based Control for a Stay Cable De-Icing Robot [PDF]
SensorsIn winter, ice is prone to forming on the surface of stay cables in cable-stayed bridges, posing a threat to their structural safety. As temperatures rise, the risk of ice shedding increases, posing a potential hazard to pedestrians and vehicular traffic.
