• How carbohydrates can play an interesting role in avoiding the  dreaded hypothermia
• The crucial element in the popular 'fat adaptation' strategy which SO many people seem to forget (which can seriously jeopardise your performance on the mountain!)
  
• What role carbohydrates play in your exercise performance, how you feel on the mountain, your chance of altitude sickness, your breathing and acclimatisation while at altitude
  
• And much, much more
