I would like to take a moment to discuss an uncomfortable subject for me. Not injuries, not impulsive behavior, not even climbing obsession. No, I am talking about the dreaded dab. There are a lot of ways that one can incur a dab when bouldering. Some dabs are rather egregious: hitting a pad with your […]

Wisconsin Bouldering: Devil’s Lake

Wisconsin Bouldering: Devil’s Lake
