Yoga climbing, by Stevie novice Haston.

Image from Google The Yoga breathing is working for the climbing, but its not working so well for my swimming, phooee! The problem with my climbing now is that I am relatively weak. The Yoga has worked because it has maximised my potential at this level of strength, but I cant do any better. In fact I think I am really lucky to have squeezed out my last few ascents.

Devil’s Kitchen

Image from Google This weekend I made a quick trip to Lander. The focus of the trip was sport climbing, and we spent several days at Sinks Canyon.

Kalymnos 2011 - Trip Report 4 (Grande Grotta and Arhi)

Hey y'all! Let's get into the pics. Day five of climbing was in the mighty Grande Grotta and surrounds. This massive cave is the most famous sector on the island.

I've often thought of headcam shots as "vomit footage" because the camera is swinging around wildly, but he's captured a few cool short grabs which I will certainly try to get into the trip video. This is a newish route in the Grande Grotta called Happy Girlfriend. It ...

Frankenjura

Image from Google The past month or so there’s been a trip to the Frankenjura on the horizon!

The Frankenjura is one of those places where anyone that’s into sport climbing and pushing [...]
