Posted October 22, 2012 at 4:21 pm · Comments { 2 } ·

Joe Kinder recently ticked off two 5.14c’s in Utah which he recapped in this blog post full of some great pictures and this quote that really applies to all of us:

My GAWD I was psyched. Put it this way… GOALS WERE ALL MET! What more could I ask for?!?! Two 8c+ routes (2nd ascents I believe) in a week just sounds cool to me. I mean really, I am not Adam Ondra or anyone that bad ass, but shit man… when you send your projects you feel like THE MAN!!! I love that and have gotten a few good doses of it and now i need more…

Access Fund Acquires Holy Boulders

Posted October 18, 2012 at 4:18 pm · Comments { 1 } ·

The Access Fund has acquired Southern Illinois’ Holy Boulders and they need your help:

The Access Fund is pleased to announce that it has acquired the Holy Boulders in Southern Illinois. However, more help is needed from the climbing community to fundraise and transfer the property to a long-term owner.

They are looking to raise $185,000 from the climbing community to help cover acquisition and other related expenses, a tall task for an area that has flown under the radar over the years due to the tenuous nature of the previous access situation. To help whet your appetite to support this project the Access Fund has put together this video as well as a small topo for the area. Full details can be found here.
