Here's a collection of training tidbits from the world's best climber. Adam Ondra's training regime "I train more or less just by climbing. How simple! I train on couple of small bouldering walls, where I train endurance and bouldering power as well. I rarely climb indoor with rope because there are not good walls enough in the city. The way I train depends on what I am training for. If I am preparing for bouldering, I do just lot of hard boulders. If I train endurance I do laps. I figure out usually 20

Vacations are really nice and if you are anything like me, you love it when a vacation involves climbing. My dad is retired and lives in Seville, Spain so once a year, my sister and I get on a plane and head over the Atlantic to visit. I was able ...

Posted By Steve Mc Clure the 2011-08-16 Borre handed me another beer. The main dude behind the Norwegian Rockmaster. The second event, in 2010, had been a good one. "Steve, how can we make the competition even better?" I thought for a minute. "You want something that stands out from the crowds? The way to go is DWS!" A year later and I'm back. There have been a lot of emails and phone calls as we put together a plan; rules, wall design, timings. But I can take no credit for this, the endless enthusiasm and

Shawn Raboutou (13) has done the short and steep Welcome to Tijuana at Rodellar, Spain and thereby his first 8c. Shawn is the son of Robyn Erbesfield-Raboutou and Didier Raboutou, so I guess the tale about the apple and the tree isn't entirely untrue.
Especially so as Shawn's younger sister, Brooke, has redpointed a number of routes in the 7c to 8a+ range this summer. Her hardest to date remains Swingline, 8b, in the RRG, however.
Robyn did quite well too, onsighting and flashing a few 8a's...

Over the weekend, 17-year old Jeremiah Klejka claimed victory in the Junior Iditarod , completing the 180 mile course in 1 day, 11 hours, and 46 minutes. The race, which is open to teens between the age of 14-17, serves as an annual precursor to the 1100+ mile Iditarod , which will get underway next weekend in Anchorage. This was Klejka's third running of the Junior and he hopes it will be a springboard to the much bigger event in years to come. The high school junior has been mushing since he was six ...

Photos courtesy of Zac Poulton, James Morrison and Mark Scales Scottish winter kit So having just returned from my first Scottish winter, I thought now would be a good time to share the experience. It’s hard to know where to start, as packing my bags for the trip seems a lifetime ago. I guess a good place is in fact the packing. So having seen the kit list from AP, and confident I had most of the kit; I set about the challenge of packing all the kit into two bags. This went strangely to plan, and left me

Born: 7- 5- 1986, in Velsen, Netherlands I started snowboarding in 1996. I was 11 years old and my parents took me and my sisters on a winter trip to Austria. Both my sisters went skiing that week and I decided I wanted to try snowboarding because I saw a big air competition on Tv. In the beginning I was only able to ride one week a year, living in the flat Netherlands. When I graduated Highschool in 2004 I moved to Amsterdam. At first I was too occupied with collage and gymnastics but after a while I ...

The Arc'teryx Bozeman Ice Fest is different every year, but the span of emotions from this year's festival seemed particularly representative of the sport and culture of ice climbing: in the joy of beginner climbers hefting tools for the first time and the glow of older climbers returning to Hyalite after being away; in a somber tribute to friend and mentor Guy Lacelle, who had a fatal accident in the canyon one year ago. The Bozeman Ice Fest represented a microcosm of the sport as a whole, both in its ...
