So, after a year of tweaking in my humble home studio I have put together a new album. The last three years and three albums has been a huge learning process with lots of setbacks, breakthroughs and moments of pure joy. I'm proud of this album... it's far and away my best work. All the songs are completely original from the Vocals to the Guitar to the beats to random Mbira licks and Synth

Remember Charlie Wittmack? He's the guy who began an epic "triathlon" of sorts this past summer by swimming the English Channel. From there, he got on his bike, and is riding 9000 miles across Europe and Asia, where he'll eventually run 950 miles from the Sea of Bengal to the summit of Mt. Everest. Well, in theory anyway. Charlie has been making great progress on his World Tri so far, having reached Kazakhstan back in October. But it seems he suffered a bit of a setback while riding across that remote, and

On May 17, Renan Ozturk, Zack Smith and Freddie Wilkinson arrived in Alaska's Ruth Gorge with ambitions to traverse the full five-mile ridgeline of the Mooses Tooth massif, from Espresso Gap to Ruth Gap. Though they arrived to find ideal conditions--hard freezes every night and relatively warm weather during the day--their luck did not last, and warm conditions forced them to cut the trip short. After trekking across Ruth Glacier, Ozturk, Smith and Wilkinson established base camp below the southwest face

Monday brings us yet one more step to the summit , courtesy of Expedition Hanesbrands . This time, our now familiar team leader, Jamie Clarke, tells us how to deal with setbacks, because every expedition, real or figurative, are going to have them. The gist of the message in this latest episode is that sometimes stopping makes sense. It gives us a chance to regroup, reassess the situation, and approach our ultimate goal in a more prepared way. Jaime reminds us that the only real failures are when we ...

High winds that plagued the teams on Everest the past few days have abated some, opening the weather window that is expected to extend through the weekend. As a result, the climbers are on the move again, as they head up to Camp 4, with many hoping to hit the summit tonight. The high winds yesterday forced some teams, who were en route to Camp 3, to turn back and settle in at Camp 2 instead. The Peak Freaks reported in from Camp 4, where they say that a number of teams are arriving to find their camps ...

Black Diamond athlete Chris Schulte recently returned from Hueco Tanks, Texas where he battled to pull off a host of quality repeats and even a first ascent or two. Below is Chris’s email report and video he made that highlight the action from V2 mega-classics to V12 power-fests. I’ve been to Hueco Tanks maybe three or four times already, but the short trip we made this year was likely the most pleasant though it was a very mixed bag of events. The winter weather here is usually perfect for climbing,

Air Time at Dumbarton Sonnie Trotter attempting Rhapsody E11. Dumbarton Rock, Scotland. Copyright Hot Aches Images One of the best things about having made climbing films for some years now is that we get to work with people again and again in different places around the world. I was looking forward to the current shoot with Sonnie Trotter and Cory Richards because because working with them is just plain simple good fun. Sonnie and Cory. Caption competition? Truth is that I wasn’t really expecting Sonnie
