Ther ehave already been volunteers. One of the MDRS volunteers wanted to do that, but was vetoed because such a dangerous excersize had not been planned, practiced, or evaluated for safety. Might be a good idea for the 4 month FMARS expedition though. Thanks for the idea. Yeah I know it seems impossible to someone like you EP, but I used to be an athlete and in youthful ignorance climbed many a rock wall. I'm pretty sure the limitations you mention could be overcome with training and practice. A valuable variable would be establishing what weight is the the maximum practical for such exercizes.

Regards,
Mark

        Okay: Drop the bedrest, but please try rappeling in a full 0-pressure suit real soon (n/t) - E.P. - 9/29/2006 3:46:51 AM
        
        re: First, it is not clear you would need to rapple there. Second, have you ever climbed rock and third, have you every wore a pressure suit of anykind? - Chris Vancil - 9/29/2006 7:49:14 AM
