This incredible photo essay by Keith Ladzinski from his trip to Australia last year with Dave Graham, Nalle Hukkataival and Ian Dory would make a great coffee table book don’t you think? (h/t Josh on twitter for the link).
“You think it will be cool till it isn’t fun anymore”
The North Face catches up with their athlete Alex Honnold to find out a bit more about his and Tommy Caldwell’s big day in Yosemite, his plans to rope solo the same feat for his segment in the Reel Rock Tour and a casual mention of how he free soloed the West Face of El Cap. As to how the idea for the triple link-up came about:
You do one route and you have a lot of time left in the day and you think, “Oh maybe we should have done two.” And eventually you do two with time left over and you say, “maybe we could do three…” and we did three and we didn’t have any time left over so we said, “we’re over it.”
More detail and pictures from Kelly Cordes on the big day here as well.
Bad Girls Club (5.14d) Repeated By Jon Cardwell

Anyone else find the font used in the journal section to be painful on the eyes?

I didn’t even get that far. The home page background video was so grainy it hurt my eyes. The fonts not bad, a little skinny, but I think after reading it for a while, it could get a little tough on the eyes.

the home page may be a bit too complicated for its own good

As for other gear sights. On Petzl’s website, where are all the sport ropes? I get so confused looking for their ropes. I found them once but I can’t find them again. I bet I’m missing something and everyone will jump on me for it, but, I’m just confused. Did I mention I’m confused?

It’s not just you

I’m a bit biased, but I like the petzl site
You should be able to pull down the “verticality” menu and click on “dynamic ropes”.
It’ll bring you here: http://www.petzl.com/us/outdoor/verticality/dynamic-ropes

You made that appear didn’t you?? Its all a trick!
Actually I’m not surprise it was my ADD that prevented me from reading past “Dynamic.” I guess I’m not fancy enough for Petzl ropes. I call them ropes. And that static stuff. Well… Whatever…

Maybe I am just getting lost on the BD site but I cant find the Athletes page anymore. I always enjoy reading about the BD team and the Journal section is not quite up to par.
