From the sounds of it people from all over the Climbingnarc.com reading area are getting crushed with snow this winter and here in southeast Wisconsin it is no different. We have already had twice as much snow as last year and this is the most total snow we have had in over ten years. Yesterday [...]

Random Winter Pictures
I added some random winter themed pictures to the Pictures page. They were taken either out behind our apartment complex or at Lapham Peak State Park. I think they are some of the better pictures I have taken since I got my new camera, but I still have a lot to get better at!

Lapham Peak Snowshoeing Pictures
I was pretty lucky to get a set of snowshoes for Christmas and then have it snow 6 inches 3 days later. Last night I headed out to Lapham Peak State Park to test them out. While the aesthetics of the trail were definitely lacking (you can see houses and some major roads for much [...]

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.
