INTRODUCTION
To be a great climber, you must exercise the discipline required to know yourself.
—Mark Twight, Extreme Alpinism
BACK IN THE DAY, ALL HUMANS HAD TO
These days, stress is abundant, and food is one of the last things many people think about, at least in most industrialized countries. Instead, they stress about their job, whether their boss likes them, what people think about their Instagram story, how they’re going to survive traffic and work deadlines, if anyone will notice what they’re wearing, and so on. Today’s modern Western lifestyle poses a set of unique and ongoing stressors and expectations, especially for mountain athletes. Whether you are a climber, a boulderer, a trail runner, a backcountry skier, or a mountain biker, if you want to perform outside, start making food your number-one priority and get real with your stress levels.
