Paul Robinson made his return of sorts to outdoor bouldering this past weekend at the Hueco Rock Rodeo.  Apparently spending the past 5+ months rehabbing from his broken ankle hasn’t slowed him down much.  In fact, his performance at the HRR combined with his performance at ABS Nationals last month makes it look as though […]

When I was a kid, one of the games we played on the classic Apple IIe computers was Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego. The basic gist of the game was that adults were tricking us into learning geography while we tried to arrest the evil Carmen Sandiego.

I think it’s safe to say that Ty Landman has been having an above average trip to Fontainebleau.  On the heels of his ascents of Kheops Assis (V14) and Gecko Assis (V14), Landman recently repeated Satan I Helvete Bas (V14).  This is all in addition to having climbed several V13s as well.  All this in […]
