And Now For A Cleansing Of The Palette…

And Now For A Cleansing Of The Palette…

Surely all of the  indoor pebble wrestling talk that has permeated this site of late has rubbed some of you the wrong way.  While I love indoor climbing just as much as the next guy (or gal) I also have a high appreciation for all things outdoor climbing.  So, in order to cleanse our collective palettes, if only briefly, from all the indoor climbing talk here is a video that is basically the opposite of an indoor bouldering comp.  The video is from the blog No Way Down (via the guys at PullHarder) and features a winter ascent of the aid route Zenyatta Mondatta on El Cap:

Along these same lines is the plethora of news and inspiring images coming out of Patagonia of late.  Climbing.com has a nice wrap-up of some recent ascents and here are a few blogs I’ve been reading as well:

On a totally unrelated note, yesterday marked the 4th anniversary of this blogsite’s creation.  I’d like to give a big thanks to everyone who has visited and supported the site throughout these past 4 years.  It really means a lot!!

    dead on

    Good luck with your new business venture and whatever direction your site takes.

      Thanks???

      I can honestly say that none of the “business ventures” I may or may not be involved with have altered in any way what I choose to post about. For the most part I post about what seems to interest my readers, and despite my tongue-in-cheek comment bouldering comps are one of the most popular topics I cover.

    Well it IS winter, of course more plastic talk happens in the off-season!

    Honestly this is by far the best blog I visit for climbing. Keep up the great work 🙂
