Keeping Up With The Kids

Posted April 18, 2012 at 7:17 am · Comments { 1 } ·

Not long after her 10-year-old daughter Brooke redpointed the climb, Robyn Erbesfield-Raboutou also repeated God’s Own Stone (5.14a) in the Red River Gorge.  Rock & Ice caught up with the almost 49-year-old young Raboutou to learn more about her continued success and what it’s like sharing projects with her kids.

Lacking Vision

Posted April 17, 2012 at 12:49 pm · Comments { 20 } ·

Interesting thoughts from LT11’s Jordan Shipman as he reflects on feedback gleaned from their coverage of 2012 SCS Nationals:

Based on my experience in the industry, it seems to me these companies have demonstrated little to no interest in supporting these professional-scale events. The desire to invest in the future of our sport is marginal at best.

Lucifer (5.14c) For Dylan Barks

Posted April 14, 2012 at 6:58 pm · Comments { 5 } ·

In an impressive display, Dylan Barks repeated Mike Doyle’s Lucifer (5.14c) at Purgatory in the Red River Gorge today. Barks looked strong and in control throughout his send burn, and not even a wasp sting on the finger at the 2nd to last bolt could keep him from clipping the chains.

Barks, who finished 2nd at last weekend’s SCS Nationals, had previously climbed another 5.14c at the Red when he did Southern Smoke last year.

Rules For Dating A Dirtbag

Another gem from semi-rad:

Although I’m a gentleman and you’re a lady, you will be carrying either the rope, or the rack. Take the tent, or the stove and fuel and pots.

If I am cooking us dinner over a camp stove, you are setting up the tent, or vice versa. Right?

Right.

Pictures From Petzl Roctrip China

Due to a confluence of factors I completely dropped the ball and basically didn’t post anything about the Petzl Roctrip that took place last autumn in China.

More Youth Action At The Red

Posted April 11, 2012 at 7:10 am · Comments { 0 } ·

DPM’s Mikey Williams is in perfect position to bring updates from the Red River Gorge seeing as he currently resides in the parking lot at Miguel’s.  It’s from this convenient vantage point that he has posted updates on Enzo Oddo ticking the other 5.14d in the Red and 11-year-old Cameron Hörst repeating God’s Own Stone (5.14a).

Alpinist’s Routelines

Alpinist’s Routelines

The routelines section of Alpinist’s mountain profiles have always been my favorite part of any issue in which they appear.  Turns out those things are a lot of work to put together.
