"The results of this study suggest that the mechanical stress generated during rock climbing is sufficient to stimulate the bone deposition response.
The relationship between measures of bone thickness and sport climbing and bouldering, and not traditional climbing or years of climbing, indicate that bone remodels to accommodate high-intensity mechanical stress and not to frequent low-intensity stresses, even if maintained over long periods of time.
The results also suggest that it is possible for adults to deposit new bone subperiosteally, even if they have already reached skeletal maturity. The results do not support the findings from other studies that climbers have a higher incidence or earlier onset of OA. "

Factors influencing osteological changes in the hands and fingers of rock climbers
This study examines the osteological changes in the hands and fingers of rock climbers that result from intense, long-term mechanical stress placed on these bones. Specifically, it examines whether rock climbing leads to metacarpal and phalange modelling ...
