My last post and comments from them reminded me of a significant problem in training for climbing, or anything where you train component skills/strengths away from the competitive arena of the sport - measurement of gains. KT was just commenting noting good gains from training anaerobic endurance on a fingerboard - great! In my head my immediate question was - where was the gain measured? On the fingerboard? Or in the ‘real’ climbing? It made me realise that the significance of this question might not

Departing, a bit, from the many wonderful stories of "we met over our mutual love of kayaking / climbing / biking / [insert outdoor adventure sport here], fell in love, hijinks ensued, and then we got married and lived happily ever after," here's installment #3 from my girl KT. I've got all sorts of thoughts and responses to this one myself, but I don't want to clutter your reading of the story with all that. Read on, and enjoy. Katie Trembley (aka, KT in these parts) is one of my climbing / hiking / ...

Finally, here's the detail on the epic day of the trip. As alluded to in earlier posts, our day on Eagle Dance didn't go without its hitches. Shawn and I had planned the trip hoping to do at least three big, long, traditional classics: I wanted to do Johnny Vegas and Solar Slab ; and his ticklist was Eagle Dance (on Eagle Wall, in Oak Creek Canyon) and Epinephrine (in Black Velvet Canyon). We crossed my objective, Johnny Vegas and Solar Slab, off on Friday with KT and Smitty. Taking the Painted Bowl ...

As promised, here's some more detail on our two long days in Oak Creek Canyon during the recent Red Rock adventure. No new photos yet, so only a little bit of eye candy on this post. You'll find additional eye candy, and more information about our trip here and here . Thanks to Shawn and KT and Smitty for letting me use any of these photos, since I can't remember/can't tell who took which. First up, our long day on Solar Slab in Oak Creek Canyon, at Red Rock. One of my wishes for this year was to lead the

I guess this is an unexpected trip report Part Two ( click here for Part One with more details ), thanks to KT (aka, K-dizzle) who just posted her pictures from the trip on Facebook. She shot some of them, Shawn shot others... so sorry I can't provide detailed photo credits. But, I think once you start scrolling down, you won't care about photo credits since your eyes will be watering over just how beautiful this place is. Mine are, and, over how lucky I am to get to spend some time there once in awhile...

Wow. I've been back from Red Rock, NV for days, and this is my first chance to sit down and start typing... I'm going to do the trip report in pieces so that it doesn't turn into a novel (who am I kidding, they're always novels). Some of the days merit posts of their very own, so this will serve as an appetizer, so to speak, and then you can stay tuned for the next course to come next week. More photos are also to come... the ones here are from my point and shoot; Shawn shot some film, so if we're lucky he
