Did you read the article from Scientific American? The mentioned studies argue that most climbers show brain damage (irreversible, even if asymptomatic in many cases), including memory loss, slower thought processes and diminished vision. Veterans are not spared, either; this isn't simply a case of newbies climbing too fast.

Here's a link TFA... http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/brain-cells-into-t...

@the_af: In the future it'd be most courteous of you to provide links to that which you cite; it spares everyone from having to google it ;)

I didn't see the need to repost it, since it was already in the grandparent post (victorhooi's, to whom caio1982 was replying).

No need to google it at all.
