→ Taming The Cobra∞

Posted September 23, 2013 at 8:25 am · Comments { 2 } ·

Nice piece by Brits Tom Randall and Pete Whittaker about their successful ascents of Sonnie Trotter’s Cobra Crack (5.14-) in Squamish, BC:

So where does this leave us, three weeks into a three-and-half week long trip? Was our training any good? Did The Cobra live up to expectations and did the Squamish Weather Gods smile down on us?

→ Sender Films’ Reel Rock 8: Peaks Behind The Screens∞

Posted September 18, 2013 at 9:08 pm · Comments { 0 } ·

Great in depth piece in Boulder Weekly about Sender Films, Big Up Productions and the Reel Rock Film Tour which kicks off its 8th edition on September 19th.  Tons of great nuggets about both companies, how the tour got started and how it has evolved.  I especially liked this anecdote about working with Alex Honnold:

Mortimer, a day after meeting with television networks in Los Angeles, says, “In L.A., people are like, what’s your contract with Alex [Honnold]? … And I’m like, ‘Dude, he’s my buddy, he’s sleeping on my couch right now.’ And they’re like, ‘Geez, he’s gonna fuck you, you gotta get a contract.

’ … And we’re like, ‘No, we kinda come from this world and we’ve shared a rope together and we trust each other,’ and so I think we’re so uniquely positioned with these relationships with these athletes — and then our ability to tell these stories and work with the best filmers — to do this.”

→ Save Oak Flat∞

Posted September 18, 2013 at 9:36 am · Comments { 8 } ·

Shit:

There is a vote scheduled for this Thursday, September 19th in the US House of Representatives on legislation that would trade away the popular Oak Flat climbing area in Arizona to Resolution Copper Mining, a foreign owned mining company. All 435 members of the House of Representatives will have the opportunity to cast a vote on this legislation, yet many of them know little or nothing about the bill–except what the bill sponsors have told them.

If this bill (HR 687) should become law, it will result in the largest loss of a climbing resource in the history of the United States.

The vote is tomorrow, so if you want to attempt to make your voice heard today is the day.

→ Climber Shot In Ten Sleep∞

While the good news I shared this morning from Ten Sleep is still great news, this is not great news out of Ten Sleep:

Around 2:00 a.m. on Monday, September 16, a climber from Ecuador was shot outside his tent in Ten Sleep, Wyoming, the popular sport climbing destination.

→ El Cap Report Returns For Fall 2013 Season∞

Posted September 17, 2013 at 12:59 pm · Comments { 0 } ·

It’s baaaaack:

So take a break Cupcakes, Cubicle Pukes, Internet Climbers, and get ready for today’s report … ditch the kids, the spouse, the pets… because this is your time to head up on ElCap with old Captain Tom!

It should be an interesting season with Tommy Caldwell’s Dawn Wall project set to continue this season provided that the devastating floods near Caldwell’s home in Estes Park haven’t derailed his plans.
