Possible Dosage Box Set?

Posted May 30, 2008 at 9:34 am · Comments { 2 } ·

To follow-up on yesterday’s news of what is going to be in the upcoming Dosage 5 DVD from Big Up Productions, I have also heard rumblings of a possible DVD box set of all 5 Dosage movies being released at the same time as Dosage 5.  Nothing firm yet, but that is the rumor.

  Sounds like a good way to get caught up on 5 of the best climbing movies ever made if you haven’t been following along the whole time…or someone took your copy of Dosage 3 and never returned it…

From Zero To 5.14 In 5 Months

Posted May 27, 2008 at 8:02 am · Comments { 0 } ·

Less than 5 full months since fracturing his heel while attempting Mandala SDS (V14) in Bishop, and about 1 month since taking his first steps outside of his cast, Ethan Pringle sent a 5.14 this past weekend.  He sent Beach Arete at Mickey’s Beach in California that apparently goes at 5.14a without using any chipped holds.  Nice work Ethan!
