Hi everyone,

I’m a long-time Ontario climber and currently a medical student at the University of Vermont. I’m currently working on a project that examines the causes and consequences of chronic injuries in sport climbers and boulderers. While there is good data in the medical literature about acute injuries in climbers, there is very little out there on chronic injuries.

If you’re 18 or older, have spent at least half of your time sport climbing or bouldering, have an injury that’s at least a year old, and have five minutes, I’d really appreciate it if you could take my survey, accessible here:

http://edu.surveygizmo.com/s3/426074/Injuries-in-Rock-Climbing-Survey

It’s only ~15 questions long, and I’m hoping it’ll add something useful to the currently small body of climbing literature.

I’m also happy to answer any questions at rockclimbingsurvey@gmail.com.

(Oh, and you may have already seen this on the home page or on Ontarioclimbing; if so, please disregard, and sorry for spamming you twice!)

Alex
