O, inventors, who are we to say your idea wont take flight? Genius is so often sparked with the catalyst of madness, and skeptics are sometimes shown the door. Lets consider the Street Flyer, then. Its a three-wheeled cycle designed to provide its user with the sense of flying just about three feet off the [...]

A while ago, when I was establishing this blog, I would post items that I thought were newsworthy, but increasingly have left that to those with more aptitude . You can find these items on the RSS feeds on the right margin. They more or less all read "Johnny Rock (or Gianni Rocco or Jean Roche) does first/second/third ascent of an F8c (Fb8c) free solo/ from the low start/without shoes" and so on. The news cycle of the climbing world is practically 24/7 now and the task of sorting out signal from noise is

By now, many of you have probably read the story that appeared in the New York Times that took a look at the effects of technology on our ability to concentrate, and how going outside, and more specifically getting away from all the technology that has pervaded our life, helps us to clear our minds. In that story, a group of researchers who study the brain, took a trip through the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area in Utah, a place that offers no cell phone or Internet service, and completely devoid of

I've mentioned here before that I am an avid runner. I run nearly every day of the week, and when I force myself to take a "rest day", I generally feel like an underachieving slug. But my personal mental instabilities aside, I find going for a run helps to reduce stress, keeps me fit, and is good training for other activities. Over the past year or so, I've been reading a lot about barefoot running, and the benefits that it delivers. I've seen converts to the style raving about how much they enjoy it, and

It was with some skepticism that I decided to check out the Five Ten Rogue slippers. These are targeted at intermediate climbers, who maybe aren't ready to step up to a more high performance (and high priced) model like the Anasazi just yet. I've used them in both the gym and outside, and I have to say that so far I am digging them.

Last week I posted a story about a new piece of gear coming from Champion and scheduled to be tested on Everest this year by the Climb With Us team . Dubbed the "Supersuit" this new gear is reportedly light, thin, and flexible, while offering the same weight as much thicker and bulkier down jackets and suits. According to PR from Champion, the Supersuit is just 3 millimeters thick, while traditional down gear is as much as 40 millimeters in thickness. Champion's new technological wonder was unveiled a few

No, seriously. There is. I'm not pulling your leg. I'd been told that bouldering in Leavenworth, WA is no fun until you're at about V4. I've heard it's punishing, hard, and was looked on with skepticism from my bouldering friends when I announced that I was going to start bouldering up there a few weeks ago. Alas -- finding regular climbing partners has been a bit less predictable lately, so I've wanted to get used to the idea of climbing activities I can do solo with relative safety, and bouldering is my
