Now that we have wrapped up our stay in Bishop, I thought I would write up a brief overview of the area. All in all, we found Bishop to be exceptionally convenient, with a huge concentration of superb bouldering and a town with everything you need just a few miles away. The locals (even cops) [...]

unclimbed cliff! Just spent three weeks in Malta and Gozo, what can I say, apart from being very happy and comfortable with reaffirming my Maltese roots. I’ll be honest from the start, I did the tinniest bit of climbing and the maximum amount of free diving. The Maltese side of the family are reassuringly still doing their thing, a bit of farming, some work, too much eating, and family stuff. It was easy to drop right back into this life, talking serious one second, nonsense the next, catching fish and

South Greenland 2011, Swiss-Bavarian Climbing Expedition to Quvnerit Island The South of Greenland offers an incredible wealth of technical rock climbing on big granite faces, some of them directly over the ocean. Tasermiut Fjord has seen most of the climbing activity of the last decades, but some climbers have ventured further south to climb on the more remote islands and fjords around the Inuit settlement of Aappilattoq. Huge routes have gone up in the Torssukatak Fjord, on Pamiagdluk Island and on other

Last week we posted some snippets from Steve Swenson’s blog posts on the first ascent of Saser Kangri II. The team consisted of Swenson (the current AAC President), past club President Mark Richey, and renowned alpine climber Freddie Wilkinson. Mark recently provided the AAC a full write-up, complete with pictures! The team, which also included Emilie Drinkwater, Kirstin Kramer, and Janet Bergman, managed to complete four other first ascents during their stay on the South Shupka Kunchang glacier, a

I got an email from Dai Koyamada:
Now I am in Switzerland again.
Yesterday, I did In search of time lost [Daniel Woods' 8C in the Darkness roof, Magic Wood/Averstal].
It is a second ascent I think. I tried for 4 days in this stay.
I am sure I am doing the right start and right line because I watched a video from Daniel Woods.
I never want to be said I am in a wrong line again.
I will be here 40days more.
What Dai is refering to is of course his 2nd ascent of The Story of two worlds at...

The 2011 Tour de France got underway over the weekend, much to the delight of cycling fans across the globe. If you've been watching the race thus far, you probably already know that the course has been well designed this year to add a lot more excitement to the race early on, and changes to the point system have made for some interesting duels out on the road already, as every Sprint and Climb point is now very important. The early stages of the race are often designed for the sprinters to strut their ...

For the past several days I've been sharing some of my experiences of traveling in the Atacama Desert of northern Chile, both here and at Gadling.com . I gave a bit of an overview of the place and even talked about climbing an 18,000+ foot volcano there. This has obviously sparked some interest from readers, who have e-mailed me inquiring about how they could go to the Atacama themselves and where they can stay while they are there. Today, I thought I'd share a few travel tips for those interested in ...
