A curiously rare topic in climbing is what effect the wind has on power to weight ratio. What are your thoughts? How much of an effect?
Here's three different posts by a few that I know aimed to spread lots of insight for those of you interested.
1. Wind & Altitude : Effects on Uphill Cycling by me
2. Effect of wind and bike speed fluctuations on climbing power by Dan Connelly : Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4
3. Ascension Rates and Power to Body Mass Ratios by Alex Simmons
Curious to know what Andy Coggan, Lim, Ross (Science of Sport) etc think on this topic? What would really interest me is finding out if someone has done a study on the degradation in climbing performance due to shortage of oxygen at high altitude.
