Comb Through DPM’s Stash For Free

Posted December 13, 2012 at 7:23 am · Comments { 6 } ·

It’s been about a year now since DPM put a portion of their video collection behind a paywall, and somewhat unsurprisingly that paywall has now come down provided you’re willing to create a free account on DPM. Now’s your chance to catch up on the videos you might have missed in addition to a new video featuring Ashima Shiraishi’s time in the Red River Gorge.

I stopped checking out the videos pretty early on, but of the ones I did see I thought the piece on Jason Kehl’s FA of Count to Six and Die in Hueco and, since I’m a sucker for videos with Dave Graham, any of the Warrior Path series videos are worth checking out.

Klem Loskot Is Back

Posted December 11, 2012 at 3:26 pm · Comments { 2 } ·

Klem Loskot, a bouldering pioneer in the late 90’s, was immortalized for me and many others when he was showcased in the early Dosage movies¹. After taking several years off from climbing in the public eye, Loskot is back. He’s’ back to establishing hard boulders near his home in Austria, and Rock & Ice caught up with him to see what he’s been up to:

I got the passion back by climbing in my home woods and I felt like it was 1989 and it was nostalgic. I had no sponsors and no publicity and three years ago I wanted to keep it the same. Today I feel like sharing my experience.

This site is almost six years old and today is the first time I’ve ever posted about Loskot. Now we know why.

I still try to do my best Klem Loskot impression at the gym when I’m encouraging Mrs. Narc to try hard. Needless to say, it worked a lot better for Klem than it did for me. ↩

John Long Injured In Gym Fall

Posted December 10, 2012 at 5:14 pm · Comments { 34 } ·

Shit:

Climbing’s best-known author, pioneer and original Stonemaster, John Long was seriously injured on November 29 at the Rockreation climbing gym in Los Angeles when his bowline came untied and he fell feet to the floor, suffering a compound fracture to his lower left leg/ankle.

Before everyone starts decrying his use of a bowline — although there is certainly merit to the argument against using one — this is not the first instance I’ve heard recently where a climber decked from not finishing their knot, bowline or otherwise.

It bears repeating that no matter who you are and no matter how long you’ve been climbing, you can never double-check yourself and your partners enough before leaving the ground.
