The mountaineering film Cold has been getting a lot of positive buzz lately, picking up awards at various festivals and earning climber/filmmaker Cory Richards recognition as one of Nat Geo's Adventurers of the Year . The film follows Richards, along with climbers Simone Moro and Dennis Urubko, as they make the first winter ascent of Gasherbrum II, an 8035 meter (26,362 ft) peak located in Pakistan, hence the title "Cold." Now, the film is set to make its online debut thanks to Outside Magazine . Tomorrow

Brian Okonek summit photo. Josh Hoeschen called in around 6 PM from the summit. I'm not sure what time they left camp this morning, but 6 PM on the top is SWEET! Russell Hunter is at 14 K right now. I just got off the phone with him and he said he'll either continue down toward base camp through the night or take more of a rest and head down tomorrow night. Summit day on Denali is one of the hardest endeavors there is. And then to tack on a 10,000 foot descent the following day is cruel! It has to be done

Thats the thing about riding naked: You dont spend a lot of time in the saddle. And come Saturday, some 10,000 naked people will be riding around Portland and a good lot of them will be maintaining nice fresh air between their seats and theirseats.
Portlands in the middle of Pedalpalooza, and tomorrow night is the [...]

At first, I thought Randall from Randalls Animals was narrating this rad video from NASA about tomorrow nights celestial lunapalooza, the supermoon. Alas, he has none of Randalls wit, but he is informative, explaining how and why the moon will appear 14 percent bigger and 30 brighter. (If it were me, Id settle for the [...]

Brian Hall and the team thrash out the rigging logistics I’m just sitting in the Scaladale Centre on Harris listening to Brian Hall briefing the rigging team on the full horror of their task for the week ahead; rigging a km of rope on grossly overhanging ground on the Sron. They are going to have a mega adventure this week! Today though, is a tea drinking day. Nothing happens on Harris on a Sunday! The forecast, as ever, is diabolical. Yesterday, I was on the line myself. The upper two pitches had ...

As expected, a new weather window has opened over K2, where the teams who have been patient, are finally getting another chance at the summit. Most set out on Monday, and as of updates yesterday, they were safely into Camp 2 and keeping their fingers crossed for good conditions ahead. According to updates on Fredrik Ericsson's website , he and Trey Cook have begun their ascent, with Trey setting out a day early in order to gain a rest day in Camp 3. As of yesterday, Trey was already in C3 and waiting for

Tomorrow night at the Sheffield Foundry (The University not the wall) Andy Kirkpatrick and I are doing a one off double header. Andy is very good at making people laugh. This pic shows us with Rich Cross sitting out a storm beneath the Gabarrou Silvy. There's also quite a good view up my blood spattered nose although Ive forgotten the story behind that. Anyway should be a good night. More info here ...

The National Geographic Adventure Blog was updated this morning with a cool story about world class climbers joined an NG sponsored expedition last summer, and were ultimately able to help archeologists to recover artifacts they may not have had the opportunity to gather on their own. The climbers in question were none other than Pete Athans, who has reached the summit of Everest on seven different occasions, and Renan Ozturk, a rock climber who has tackled big walls all over the planet. The two men were

With the media attention I've had recently it's got me thinking about the flip sides of my climbing. By flip sides I mean how my climbing seems to be perceived by some and the reality of it and they couldn't be further from each other. I always try to be honest with my writing so here goes with an explanation. I did some climbing in Glen Nevis earlier this year for the Adventure Show (to be shown tomorrow night at 7 p.m. on BBC2) and after the climbing was done we did a short interview. It went the way ...

Yesterday: Just my wife and I, all by ourselves, at the mega-popular Cactus Cliff at Shelf Road; rock climbing in T-shirts (at least for a while); pale sun gleaming off the distant Sangre de Cristo mountains. The calm before the storm. Today: A foot of snow on my deck at noon, and it's not supposed to stop snowing until tomorrow night. Later Today: Went skiing in the nearby open space late this afternoon. Pretty sticky, nasty snow and a stiff wind in the face, but, as they often say about alpine climbing,
