If you are looking to pad your spraysheet with a slew of easy ticks, Yosemite might not be for you. If you are looking to try hard and climb classic lines regardless of the grade then you would probably enjoy the climbing in Yosemite. Much like we did. Read on for more.

The Outsider: 85 Days In Fontainebleau (Climbing Movie)

The Outsider: 85 Days In Fontainebleau (Climbing Movie)

Posted July 30, 2008 at 10:10 am · Comments { 2 } · Photo: UncleSomebody

It took me awhile to get around to watching it (on my iPhone no less), but the recently released climbing movie The Outsider was well worth the wait.  It features a plethora of classic blocs from one man’s 85 day stint in Fontainebleau, France (and one day in Switzerland), all shot in beautiful high definition.  [...]

Torrent Falls Re-Opened To Public Climbers

Posted July 28, 2008 at 9:00 am · Comments { 4 } ·

Been itching to send one of those classic 5.11 or 5.12s at the Red River Gorge’s Torrent Falls Crag?  Bummed that is has been closed to the public for the better part of 1+ year?  Well, those days are over.  Sort of.  Torrent Falls has been re-opened to public climbing, however the re-opening comes with new rules in place to help limit problems that led to its closure in the first place.  Climbing will only be allowed on Thursday, Friday or Saturday, and you must register day-of.  Visit the new Torrent Falls website for more information.

Midnight Lightning

Midnight Lightning

Posted July 25, 2008 at 7:35 am · Comments { 5 } ·

Let’s start out the stories from our trip to Yosemite with someone (sadly not me) sending the most famous boulder problem on the planet, Midnight Lightning (V8).  Located smack dab in the middle of Yosemite’s famous Camp 4 campground (and literally 10 feet from the bathrooms), Midnight Lightning’s fame does come with a few downfalls.

Before we left for our Left Coast trip I failed to mention the winner of our Free DVD competition.  The winner was Isaac and he unfortunately chose The Australia Project.  I say unfortunate because I really didn’t want to give that one up!  Nevertheless, I will get that out to you in the mail by [...]
