This statement always scares me and reminds me of a presentation from Simon Mitchell. Someone started a question with, "I read this on the internet" so Simon pulled up the Bristol Stool Chart (attached) as an example of the quality of information on the internet. Some of the information is watered down with almost no content and other information is hard and compact but there is not much of it. No real point to this, just what I thought of when I started reading this thread.
Anyway... Information on ascent rates...
