MRI of a male climber in the 20s, with the highest accumulated number of spinal changes of the climbing participants. The lumbar imaging (A + B) displays endplate changes of the Th12-L1 segment. The thoracic imaging (C + D) displays multiple spinal segments with low grade endplate changes and reduced disc signal intensity. This individual constituted an outlier in the sample, with endplate irregularities commonly seen in Scheuermann´s disease. The participant did not however fulfil the criteria for Scheuermann´s disease
