Making Muir Valley

Posted March 20, 2013 at 12:44 pm · Comments { 0 } ·

Nice piece by Outside Online profling Liz and Rick Weber, owners of Muir Valley in the Red River Gorge:

With over 30,000 visitors last year, Muir Valley has become the most popular climbing destination in the eastern half of the country. For eight years, Rick and Liz Weber have shouldered the property and developmental expenses as their gift to the climbing community.

But, now in their late 60s and facing declining health, the future of the valley is unclear.

If you’ve climbed in the Red River Gorge in the past 10 years the odds are pretty good you’ve climbed on the Weber’s property.

The odds are also pretty good that you’ve climbed on their property at zero expense to yourself, so consider making a donation to Friends of Muir Valley if you want to see climbing continue on this incredible property into the future.

Bouldering, Speed To Join Climbing’s Bid For Olympics

Posted March 19, 2013 at 9:43 am · Comments { 19 } ·

Insidethegames reporting on a change to the sport of climbing’s bid to be part of the 2020 Olympic Games:

The original proposal included just lead climbing, which tests the endurance of athletes as they compete to see who can get highest.

However, both speed climbing and bouldering will now also be included if climbing secures a spot at the 2020 Olympics.

This multi-discipline format will now be championed when the IFSC gives its presentation to the IOC Executive Board in St Petersburg at the end of May.

With what’s happened with wrestling it’s hard to be optimistic about climbing’s chances of making it into the 2020 games, but this news seems like it could only help.

Tommy Caldwell, writing for La Sportiva about a trip to Switzerland that had him questioning the mantra that “Sport Climbing is Neither”:

Yeah, sport climbing is the safe type of climbing… right. That is what I was telling myself as I looked down and saw my rope hanging free for thirty feet then gently arcing towards my last bolt more than 40 feet away. I looked up… no more bolts in sight and no possible place for gear either.

If I fall here I am looking at a 100-foot fall that will leave me hanging 40 feet below my belayer.

But it’s a free fall. I should be all right…maybe.

Kevin Landolt

Posted March 15, 2013 at 9:21 pm · Comments { 1 } ·

I was pretty bummed this afternoon to read the news that Kevin Landolt had passed away. Kevin, who had been battling leukemia, was interviewed in episode 26 of the Enormcast which you can listen to here if you haven’t already¹.

I may go back and listen again myself as Kevin’s situation was really quite powerful to hear, and I can’t quite imagine what it would be like to hear it now that he has unfortunately passed on.

I told myself upon initially listening that I would become a bone marrow donor through marrow.org, but as often happens in life I never quite got around to doing it until today after hearing this news.

My thoughts are with his friends and family.

I’d actually recommend going back and listening to all the episodes if you haven’t heard them.
