After getting back from colorado ice climbing I was able to catch up on office work and start a new training cycle.  Promptly I became sick for  week with a head cold and fever.  I start back up today with a upper body workout.

Overall I have lost some strength from the ice climbing, but probably gained muscular endurance.  I have seen this in the gym boulder.  Strength is a good thing to have in excess, but when you are climbing  a lot of pitches muscular endurance is important and is generally worked by climbing a lot of moderate pitches, wieght lifting with reps 0f 15+ or the rowing machine workouts.
