→ Climbing Edition Of The Stars Are Just Like Us∞

Jakob Schubert, in a photo posted to Facebook during his current visit to Hueco Tanks:

In the end it wasn’t worth it though, at the second to last move I heard a loud noise and hoped a hold broke, but instead it was my finger.. seems like this climbing trip is over for me.. don’t have a diagnose yet but doesn’t feel good..

See, just like those trashy montages in Us Weekly, we have evidence that famous climbers are just like you and I and aren’t immune from injury.

Wait. What’s that? Oh. Schubert’s injury happened while he was en route to being the 3rd person to flash Nagual, the legendary Fred Nicole V13 on East Spur that has previously been flashed by Paul Robinson and Sean McColl.

Hmm. Well, if I ever tried that problem my fingers would probably explode too, except for me it would just be attempting to pull off the ground. So yeah, maybe climbing stars aren’t quite like us…

→ Man Makes History By Climbing 1,500-Foot El Sendero Luminoso With No Net∞

Posted February 12, 2014 at 7:46 am · Comments { 0 } ·

Not The Onion:

In January, Honnold made history by becoming the first person to ever scale El Sendero Luminoso (Mexico) without the help of other climbers or safety equipment. That’s right, one wrong move could have produced devastating results.

El Sendero Luminoso is rated at 5.

12d on the Yosemite Decimal System, which means “the surface is as smooth as glass and vertical.” The scale only goes up to 5.13.

Oh?

→ Steven Roth & Ethan Pringle Go Big∞

Posted February 11, 2014 at 8:01 am · Comments { 0 } ·

Alex Honnold’s boulder problem free solo Too Big To Flail, which was featured in 2012’s Reel Rock 7, has seen a lot of action of late. First up was Lonnie Kauk who repeated the problem late last year, and then this past weekend Ethan Pringle and Stephen stepped and repeated the line as reported in this post by DPM:

Roth, a relatively unknown Berkeley college student who works at Touchstone Climbing, went first and, utilizing slightly different beta than Pringle, steadily cruised the line and was standing on top in disbelief in minutes. His movement was confident and precise, just like his prior burns on top rope, and his execution was flawless.

Climbing Past My Pregnancy Stigma

Posted February 10, 2014 at 7:37 am · Comments { 0 } ·

Excellent first post in a series by Beth Rodden who is expecting her first child soon:

When I first found out I was pregnant, I did a ton of research to see what other climbers experienced, and didn’t find a lot out there. I want to help change this in the climbing community, to help make it an open discussion.

If you research running while pregnant, the resources are endless from novice runners to professionals; but climbing while pregnant is a topic I couldn’t find much information about. I also want to share some of my personal inner worry and questioning as I think it’s something a lot of women go through, regardless of if they are climbers or not.

It feels hard to open up about such a personal topic, but I know it would have helped me immensely if I had found a blog like this.
