…and Notes

  • To follow up on yesterday’s Deadpoint Magazine post, Tim Kemple has an interview with DPM’s editor, Matt Stark.  The interview gives some good insight into the lofty goals that they have for DPM.
  • A few weeks back there was a bad accident on a popular 5.12a at the Red River Gorge called Ro Shampo.  The climber involved fell 65 feet from the anchors of the route straight to the ground.  She is doing ok considering what happened, but she has a long road to recovery.  You can read more about what happened at the CragBaby blog.  This is definitely a good reminder to always be sure to double and triple check your systems every time you are off the ground.
  • Micah Dash has a blog.  For all you ankle breakers out there, check it out for pictures of where he was when he broke his ankle this summer…and be glad you broke yours much closer to the ground.
  • In case you’ve been living under a rock, Alpinist magazine abruptly shutdown a couple of weeks back.  You can read more about it here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, or here.  Who knew this many people were even reading Alpinist!?

We are heading to the Horseshoe Canyon Ranch in Arkansas this weekend to do some bouldering.  Can’t wait to check it out!!
