Last week it was confirmed officially on the MVM site that the paid premium section would be going away by the first week of September (as I had reported back in July). I for one can’t wait to see what they come up with for their newest rollout. There are many things I would like to see, however my secret wish is for more old school footage from back in the 90’s. I guess the non-HD nature of the old footage would apparently disqualify it though? What are you hoping to see now that you don’t have to sweat actually paying for anything??
Via The Mountain World, we have a brand new time waster from our friends at Patagonia. They have launched a very cool site called Tin Shed that is supposed to mimic hanging out in the old Chouinard Equipment Company shed. Inside the flashy site you will be able to read stories, view pictures and watch videos of climbing exploits from all over the globe. Check it out when you have some free time set aside. Read full details at the Patagonia blog.
Alex Johnson has had a very productive month of August since she moved to Colorado. Yesterday she made the first female ascent of Clear Blue Skies (V12) at Mt. Evans. I think I mentioned this to someone in the Park last week, but wanted to state it here for the record: I think Alex will be the first female to climb a V13 in CO in short order.
