In keeping with the theme of videos lately, here are a few more I came across that I think will help keep you psyched.
Climbing Videos From Squamish, Idaho, Leavenworth & The Gunks

Agent Orange (V13) Repeated
Phil Schaal has made a probable 2nd ascent of Paul Robinson’s Agent Orange (V13) at the Gunks. Here is some video and a few thoughts on the FA..

Hard, Unrepeated American Boulders
I thought it would be interesting to compile a list of hard (V14 and up) boulder problems that have not been repeated in North America. Thanks to everyone for help in compiling these problems (Most of these grades are pure speculation from outside observers): Nuclear War – V14 – Matt Bosley – Harriman State Park, [...]

More Gunks Pictures
Last October, I had the good fortune of climbing at the Gunks for a few days. If you missed my original write-up on the trip you can find it here. Finally, I got around to going through all the pictures for the first time since I got back, and here are a few new ones. [...]

The Gunks
Despite all of my (and Old School’s) stressing, belly-aching and doomsday predictions about the weather forecast for New Paltz last week, the weather was basically a non-factor during our trip to the Gunks. What was a factor? How about the incredible climbing, landscapes, history and weather we got a taste of during our 5 day visit to New York.

Gunks Bouldering
What better way to start recapping my trip to the Gunks than to talk about bouldering?

News & Notes
What Did You Do This Weekend?
Tommy Caldwell and Alex Honnold spent Saturday romping up big walls in Yosemite. The pair free climbed Freerider on El Cap (6:45 climbing), the South Face of Mt. Watkins (2:40 climbing) and the Regular Northwest Face on Half Dome (5 climbing) in just over 21 hours. More at Climbing.com. So…how was your weekend??
Ethan Pringle On Jumbo Love
Ethan Pringle is back at Mt. Clark, home to that one route first done by that one guy:
Projecting a route like this requires all of your attention, and having to devote all of your attention to a route like this can get really tiring really fast. At some point, you just want to get it over with. Of course, afterward you feel a mix of relief and loss. Relief that you’re done and the epic is over, and loss that this magnificent line doesn’t require your presence anymore. But for me, I think I’ll have to take a nice long break from serious route projects for a little while after this. Like Randy Levitt said, “It’s like a limestone El Cap.” Obviously, that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but it does sort of convey the amount of work required to complete a project of this caliber.
Pringle is no stranger to Jumbo Love, having tried it even before its FA back in 2008. You can see some footage of those attempts here.
When In Doubt Pack It Out
I don’t know about you, but I always try my best to climb close to an actual bathroom. In case you don’t, the Access Fund has a nice refresher on what to do when nature calls.
