Trad climbing’s survival in a material world, by Stevie umpayed Haston. Trad climbing is certainly doomed from what I have seen lately, the once and only way to climb is now just a circus side show! The free climbing ethic grew very slowly over many years until it became established in its proper form in the 1970s, there were many fight arguments and discussions along the way. There were also great climbers and some great impassioned ascents that showed that it was all possible. Out of the many examples

Century Crack

Century Crack, rack, route years, absurd comment, rack of gear, understand the absurd comment, gear, Trad climbing, route, approach

Image from Google So the Century crack, a very good crack that is awaiting an ascent. I stopped trying this route years ago because the chance of me doing the route with this rack of gear seemed low, to verrryyyy low. I leave it to you to try and understand the absurd comment that it is ok to leave this gear in, and not carry it. Trad climbing is absurd nowadays, the climbers are good but their approach is silly.

Insonnia is a beautiful multi-pitch route in Ticino, the Italian part of Switzerland. Mostly trad climbing, the route has 16 ptiches: one is rated 7c, 3 are 7a. Three months ago I broke my wrist, so to be climbing multi-pitch routes again makes me happy and motivated. The 5am start begins with a one hour walk to the bottom of the beautiful wall. Morning light touches the summit – perfect conditions. The first three pitches are really wet. So be it. The rest of the route awaits. And it is stunning: clean

Helena Robinson on Shear Fear, E2 5c, Ratho Quarry I was nervous about the weekend. From everyone who applied to our competition to win the climbing trip in Norway with us, we had already chosen 4 great climbers, all of whom sounded ideal for the project. How to choose 2 from them? It’s obviously not something I’m used to doing, and I found it hard. But we had a nice weekend. With mega downpours soaking bits of Scotland at random, we stuck to Ratho Quarry so we could keep climbing indoors if we were

British climbing - the bold way or the old way?

The bold way and the old way... © Alex Messenger There's definitely something in the saying; there's bold climbers and old climbers but not old bold climbers. A number of recent events, like Franco Cookson decking from 20m , and finding the Malham video , got me thinking quite a lot about how my climbing's changed over the last 15 years and how the UK (or perhaps UKC) perceives trad climbing. The UK has something that much of the rest of the world doesn't have, that isn't trad climbing, you can see plenty
