The American Alpine Clubs BMC Winter Meet Selection Committee selected its delegates for the upcoming Winter Meet and it must be said that it was difficult. The last meet—the BMC’s Summer Meet in Wales—was an easy choice, as only a couple of people applied (by the way, thanks Jay Hack, for the write up from the BMC Summer Meet). But this time, the Club got a lot more applicants, and they were all really well-qualified, in the arena of technical climbing (important when traveling to Scotland in the

A few years ago I wrote about Paul Robinson repeating Echale and lamenting that it was so manufactured. I also wrote previously about how the younger generation should be stepping out and developing not just new problems but new areas. Nearly every climbing legend has reached such status because of their willingness and ability to [...]

I’ve had two and a half intense days at home since returning from work in Milton Keynes and leaving for more work in Wales this morning. Too much driving! Last night, after a marathon office stint, attempting to finally catch up with all my work at home, I enjoyed a session on my board immensely. That might not seem surprising. But to me, the extent of my enjoyment of bouldering surprises me nearly every time I do it. As I was saying in a recent post, I’m looking for lots of things in climbing - ...

During my time on the road lately, I have been catching up on some reading. Continuing my quest for self-improvement reading that doesn't suck, I picked up a copy of "59 Seconds: Think a Little, Change a Lot" by Richard Wiseman . It's a great little book... quick, specific strategies for living a more happy life. When I got to the chapter on "Attraction," I was quite amused to find a study assessing the "attractiveness" of various sports and activities to members of the opposite sex. Apparently, women find

In early season, the most rewarding ice and mixed climbs often are those on the obscure tour—climbs that might not seem worth the trouble when fat ice is everywhere. Sometimes, the result is a happy discovery, as with Bullet, a short route at the foot of Hallett Peak in Rocky Mountain National Park. I'd never heard of anyone climbing this route since its first ascent nearly 10 years ago, but this fall, thanks to a couple of compelling photos at MountainProject.com, Bullet has seen a flurry of attempts

"He died doing what he loved." My wife hates that phrase, and after resisting for years, I'm coming to see her point. But wait, you say: Surely it’s better to die in an avalanche while skiing untracked powder or by falling from a favorite crag than to be mangled in a car crash or waste away in a cancer ward. Right? I used to think so, but this sad summer, when so many friends have died while climbing, “doing what he loved” feels like a feeble attempt to ease the pain of the living. The statement is

We have been in Rocklands for 12 days now and this only my third rest day. The weather has been unbelievably good. Nothing but blue skies and a cool breeze each and every day. This makes it hard to rest when the weather is so amazing. There are 8 of us in the Ehran house right now: me, Chuck, Sarah, Flannery, Stephanie, Jamie, Nalle and Nelson. Everyone seems to be hitting their stride and sending hard. Sarah, Flan and Steph all sent Last Day in Paradise, v9. Jamie has done Oral Office, v12/13 and a slew
