β–² INTENSITY COST
Steep Terrain >100Β° Overhang raises anaerobic cost
Poor Grip (Crimps/Pockets) Higher forearm Oβ‚‚ demand
Inefficient Movement Rigid shoulders = higher BR
Fear / Anxiety HR rises beyond metabolic demand
β–Ό EFFICIENCY BONUS
Flow State Smooth movement efficiency
Open-Hand Grip Reduces forearm tension
