→ More On Wide Boys’ Cobra Crack Send∞

Posted October 7, 2013 at 8:29 pm · Comments { 1 } ·

Really enjoyed this piece on The RV Project about the process behind Tom Randall and Pete Whittaker both repeating Cobra Crack (5.14) in Squamish, BC:

Tom and Pete will be the first to tell you that they are not very strong. This is obviously “rubbish,” as they’ve now done the hardest offwidth and now one of the hardest finger cracks in the world.

 I think what they mean is that they are not well-established. There will soon be a second film about them, but they don’t do comps, haven’t moved to Boulder or Innsbruck or Yosemite. When they listed the Cobra ascentionists on the Earlmaker, they remarked on how silly their names looked next to Honnold, Favresse, Trotter and the rest. “A couple of punters” was a phrase oft employed self-referentially.

Weird.  I’m a punter as well, but unlike these guys I never actually send anything.  I’ll have to find out what their secret is.

→ Sisu Masters 2013 Live Stream∞

Posted October 4, 2013 at 10:57 am · Comments { 4 } ·

Last time I plugged the live streaming of a bouldering comp in Europe it didn’t go very well, but let’s try this again.  On Saturday the Sisu Masters will stream live out of Helsinki, Finland with the likes of Kilian Fischhuber, Dave Graham, Anna Stöhr and Melissa Le Nevé joining locals Nalle Hukkataival, Anthony Gullsten, Anna Laitinen and Eevi Jaakkola to compete for a €14,000 prize pool.

The stream is set to start at 6 PM local time in Helsinki which is 11 AM EDT here in the U.

→ More On Ten Sleep Shooting∞

Posted October 3, 2013 at 10:10 am · Comments { 4 } ·

Climbing.com has a followup on the bizarre shooting that took place a few weeks ago in Ten Sleep, WY:

“We know not everybody is a bad guy, and we’ve gotten a lot of strong support from people,” Deaconu says. “It just seems unfair that you save up to travel to a foreign country, get shot, and now have to pay ,000.

→ “High Fives And Redbull”∞

Posted October 3, 2013 at 8:09 am · Comments { 5 } ·

Andrew Bisharat:

Everyone knows that Instagram serves no purpose other than a way to make your life seem much cooler than it actually is to all your friends and/or followers, the deeper intention, of course, being to simultaneously make them jealous and bolster your own image.

I spent a lot of time nodding my head as I read this post and even laughed out loud at the “high fives and Redbull” part.

→ Government Shutdown Closes Climbing Areas Across the Country∞

Posted October 1, 2013 at 1:21 pm · Comments { 5 } ·

The Access Fund has setup a page to make it easier for you to let Congress know how you feel about them shutting down the government and the National Parks we all pay for.

The good news is that in an effort to save face the House is apparently considering passing some small bills to do things like re-open national parks.  The bad news is…well…this is still Congress we’re talking about here.

→ Chris Sharma To Join Dawn Wall Team∞

Posted October 1, 2013 at 9:38 am · Comments { 28 } ·

So…this is happening (maybe…hopefully) :

Chris Sharma will join Tommy Caldwell, Kevin Jorgeson, and Jonathan Siegrist for this fall’s attempts on the Dawn Wall, a multi-year project to create the world’s hardest big-wall free climb. The team will begin working on the Dawn Wall this week, pending resolution of the federal government shutdown, which has closed Yosemite National Park.

I’ll be honest, I did a triple take and checked the date on my calendar when I saw this.

 Not because I don’t believe that Sharma could excel at this sort of thing, but rather because this is an insane team of climbers to have together on the wall.

 Add Dave Graham to the mix and my head might explode.

This leaves us no choice, call your congressman and demand they support Dawn Wall 2013.
