RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Soft tissue injury in extreme rock climbers. JF British Journal of Sports Medicine JO Br J Sports Med FD BMJ Publishing Group Ltd and British Association of Sport and Exercise Medicine SP 145 OP 147 DO 10.1136/bjsm.22.4.145 VO 22 IS 4 A1 S R Bollen YR 1988 UL http://bjsm.bmj.com/content/22/4/145.abstract AB Rock climbing is an increasingly popular sport. Its standards of difficulty have undergone a revolution in the past ten years. Regular training is now almost mandatory for the aspiring climber, but little has been published about the patterns of soft tissue injury to which climbers are susceptible. This paper aims to identify some of the common injuries that may be encountered, some of which do not appear to be associated with other sports.
