Dosage 5: Albarracin Bouldering

Dosage 5: Albarracin Bouldering

Posted September 28, 2007 at 6:38 am · Comments { 1 } ·

Enjoy this clip of the bouldering in Albarracin, Spain as a reminder why the climbing in Europe is probably way better than it is here.  Situated 3,000 feet above sea level, it seems as though one could climb year round on the awesome rock at Albarracin.  The clip is a preview of another segment in [...]

Nuthin’ But Sunshine

Posted September 25, 2007 at 2:59 pm · Comments { 2 } ·

When I visited RMNP back in 2001 one of things I was looking forward to was checking out some of the harder problems that I had spent the prior year reading about. I wasn’t looking forward to it because I thought that I would be strong enough to climb any of these problems, far from [...]

Climbing.com Chris Sharma Interview

Climbing.com has a great new interview up with the “King of Kings” Chris Sharma.  Filled with incredible images from his travels this past year, the interview spends a lot of time exploring what drives Sharma to continue climbing at such a high level.  Below is my favorite quote from the article.  It displays an understanding [...]

The Best Boulderer in the World…

Posted September 24, 2007 at 3:21 pm · Comments { 0 } ·

…only climbs V10 outside? Apparently this is true when it comes to Russian Dmitry Sharafutdinov who won the Bouldering World Championships last week in Aviles, Spain. This probably speaks to the amount of time Dmitry spends climbing and training inside more than anything, but the results of the comp are somewhat telling with respect to [...]

Posted September 21, 2007 at 11:00 am · Comments { 0 } ·

If you are still bored at work/school today and want to do some reading on how some Frontrange climbers hash out their differences then head over to the FRB message boards. The issue of late has been whether or not it is ok to stash bouldering gear at alpine bouldering destinations such as RMNP and [...]
