This is according to nutristrategy.com.
For a steep calorie burn, don't hike around that mountain, climb it. A 155 pound person can expend about 775 calories in an hour of ascending rock climbing.
Rappelling down will burn 563 calories in an hour.
Screw the climbing, I am going rappelling!

Rappeling burns almost 75% as many calories as climbing?
On what planet?

Taco surfing burns 130 calories an hour + 100 calories an hour if you blow your fuse.

Got to easily be 3 or 4 hundred calories per minute. How do you think Crowley was able to stay so thin.

that's pretty interesting. i had thought that cardio equals calories, and although climbing is strenuous, i don't see it as a cardio sport. too much standing and belaying. i wonder if the figure is per hour of actually climbing, rather than what going climbing actually entails.
i wonder if a high HR because of being gripped contributes?

HDDJ, That would be +300
Moosie, Taco Surfing may burn 130 but add another + 425 for beer, chips and other munchies.
