Hear a climber gets ready to cross the bergschrund on the headwall at approx. 15.6K. This is the start of the "fixed lines". Pat Ormond talked to Nate on the radio tonight and relayed a message to me, so all I know is they are doing well and they are at 14K and have already done their back carry to 13.5k. Most likely, tomorrow will do a front carry to 16+ thousand feet. Then they'll take a rest day and start looking for a good window to move up to high camp. If I'm right in my presumption, they will have

The Tehipite Sanction by Rob Pizem Tehipite dome lies in the northern portion of Kings Canyon National Park, about a mile away from the Sierra National Forest boundary. But that is not where this story begins. I had planned on a summer adventure in Alaska where my partners and I would have to trek through the bush, cross icy rivers, navigate unknown glaciers, and finally end up at an enormous unclimbed big wall. We would make base camp and establish an amazing new free route on the virgin stone. ...

Driving home from Rifle yesterday, we were awed by the sight in front of us. A huge column of dark smoke was billowing skyward until it met the building storm clouds high in the atmosphere. The plumes were moving upward at what looked like a thousand feet per minute, and it looked less like a forest fire and more like a huge bomb had been dropped on Main Elk Creek.

Clint Estes and Matt Hepp of Colorado set out for Pakistan in late August to explore, climb and provide aid in the Kondus Valley, at the heart of the Kashmir conflict, an area packed with granite pillars but usually off-limits to the public. Despite proper paperwork, Estes and Hepp were turned away. But the Americans stayed in Pakistan for five weeks and found other spires to climb and villages to assist. The expedition was supported by donations and an American Alpine Club Zack Martin Breaking Barriers

It's finally warm again here in Canmore. Yesterday was a perfect day, one of those days with blue skies, little fluffy clouds, yeah! I ended up shooting video on a local peak yesterday morning for a reality TV show. A few of the west-coast rigging crew organized a really cool swing sort of stunt, and I was climbing camerman. This meant hanging on the side of a cliff until my legs went numb while wrestling a Z1 into submission (those who shoot in the vertical world with that camera will know what ...
