Books for Climbers: Nutrition and Strength

While I've not yet had the opportunity to read either of these books, I definitely plan to (and review them), and wanted to let you all know of their existence, so you can check them out.

"Rock Climbing Nutrition: The Essential Food Guide for Climbers" written by Aicacia Young, RDN, is of particular interest to me.  I grew up in a culture of canned and processed food.  It was less than a decade ago that I ate fast food EVERY day, often even two or three times a day.  I've gotten much better at monitoring what I put into my body, but it's a part of my climbing that could certainly use help, and I look forward to getting into this book.

"Strength: Foundational Training for Rock Climbing" written by Steve Bechtel, SFG CSCS.

Knowing what my schedule looks like, it could be a while before I get to reviewing either of these gems, but I wanted to give you guys and girls the heads up so that you can get your hands on them at the start of this training season.
