"When you've given everything, what do you have left?"

Training is going well, although this endurance phase is pretty boring, never really sure if your achieving much as your not at your limit, or that's the way it feels. This is no doubt due to being at about 50% pump for the whole session. When you train power endurance, or strength, you know your pushing it as you keep falling off. at the moment the whole point is not to fall off but to get loads of mileage.  I think I'm getting it about right though.

There is a really interesting video on UKC at the moment by Tyler Stableford about Steve House, an american Alpinist who has put up some very hard and extreme routes  including a recent climb on the Central Pillar of the Rupal Face of Nanga Parbat. He has also written a book Beyound the Mountain. Another one for the reading list I think.  Check out the review here
