What’s Up with Rock Shoes?

Image from Google You've heard it before and you'll hear it again. It happens all over the country with a carbon copy of the same clueless individual at the climbing shop. "Dude, you need shoes that hurt," he tells you. "They should be at least two sizes too small ...


Mid life crisis number 329, by Stevie ‘over ripe’ Haston

Image from Google Add caption There was a bit too much trash in my bachelor flat, and it was starting to smell a bit, so I very sensibly thought I’d take the trash out. Well a few days later when I finally did take the trash out it was raining, so I got the turn-ups of my trousers wet, as I wore slippers instead of shoes, and my bare bake got an unexpected wash, which admittedly was a plus. Anyway, thinking about what a tosser I was, I then for no accountable reason threw my keys with the trash into the recycling bin. ...


Cerro Torre Trip Report

Image from Google Sweating hard, I took another step and plunged boot-deep in the soft snow. The rope pulled sharply at my harness. “You need to slow down dude, I can’t go as fast as you,” Chris urged. He was right; we were gaining nothing by working this hard on the approach. It was 11:00 am, the sun, a rare-sight in this mountain range, was shining brightly down on us. The snow was isothermal. The mighty east face of Cerro Torre leered above, taunting me. This was the culmination of a season spent biding time, ...


Myth Busters: Is Polar Bear-Skier Interaction Real?

Fake or not fake, thats the question? Lycra dude is just skating along, cameraman dude just happens to be standing in the middle of the skate track, polar bear just happens to be toodling across the track. Do polar bears even make it as far south as Olso? Maybe if they escape the zoo, they [...]


The Man and the Mammoth

This is so incredibly awesome. The latest episode of Salomon Freeski TV is a stop animation short film about a man and a mammoth, and it says a lot about the talents of the dudes who made it that it captures the spirit of modern skiing better than most live action films. Rock on, people [...]


Ice Climbing is NOT rock climbing.

Image from Google Fall. from Jeffrey Butler on Vimeo . One of the biggest problems I see in ice climbing starts with people approaching ice climbing like they do rock climbing. That mindset is totally inappropriate, and leads to really avoidable accidents. A friend of mine recently sent me a link to a video shot Dracula, a one-pitch classic WI 4+ in New Hampshire. The leader gets pumped, struggles to get a screw in, and falls. Skip to 3: 28 to see it go bad, but the whole thing starts to go bad way before that point. I'm


Hey, seriously. You're not that cool.

I don't know dude, but I started climbing way after you were cool So, honestly, I barely know who the fuck you are So when you show up to my local crag and act like your mangina doesn't stink It does It reeks like old semen in your manvagina I don't care if you were on the cover of Rock Ice circa 1984 that's the year I graduated from high school and I am OLD AS FUCK! get off your Colorado high horse and start acting nice like Sharma he's nice and HOT! Nice and hot That's hot and being cool well that's ...


1st Malta Bouldering Competition by Stevie Haston Photos By RONALD BALZAN

SECRETARY OF SPORT MR PULI AND SIMON ALDEN Bouldering comps are not my bag, but this Maltese meeting of climbers who used a comp as an excuse to pass a friendly day trying hard on some great stone, was very sweet. The Malta Climbing Club organized the event or happening with the support of some generous local sponsors and kind volunteers, they all need a big thank you but I think they know already. The event was held at Wied Hasan a very attractive wave of colourful rock just above a deep water soloing ...


Scene Stealers

Image from Google The Academy Awards are this Sunday, but you dont have to go to Tinseltown for cinematic excellence. Here are three ways to enjoy local spots that made their way to the big screen. Andaction! Bodega Bound Alfred Hitchcocks 1963 classic The Birds has had people flocking to Bodega and Bodega Bay for years to see landmarks and scenery made famous from frightening scenes of a feathered frenzy. But this time of year, a different kind of attraction lures visitors to the region. Migrating gray whale sightings are


The Expedition Reports - 5 - The Arch of Ba-Chikele

Here it is folks, the final instalment of our Chad Expedition Reports. This time Renan Ozturk takes us on a journey up the Arch of Ba-Chikele - the most impressive and delicate rock formation any of us had ever seen! I'm a little sad the reports have come to an end; it has been fun to share it with you all, and in a small way it was like being back there again, staring out into the unknown, wondering what magnificent route lay just around the corner. But fear not, as the Camp4 team are working day and ...
