pup_on_the_mountain Posted September 27, 2007 Posted September 27, 2007 Following a related thread over at SummitPost, I thought I'd post here as well. Raymond Huey has some research papers on mountaineering. Do any of the UW folks here know/climb with Raymond? Interesting stuff. As mountaineers, would you question some of the assumptions made in his papers? Spray away... Quote
Choada_Boy Posted September 28, 2007 Posted September 28, 2007 My understanding is that barometric pressure is not only a function of altitude, but also latitude. The graph on page 3116 of his second article relates barometric pressure with altitude alone. "Paleoalpinism"?? Kind of a stretch, but someone funded it, I guess. Quote
