DPM Interview With Alex Johnson

DPM catches up with Alex Johnson for a wide-ranging interview about sexism, the balancing act between climbing in comps and climbing outside and sponsorship:

I think it should be difficult to get sponsored, like in surfing or snowboarding. We would have a more select group of positive role models and icons in our community for reasons other than just ability.

Adam Ondra Interviewed By Mountains & Water

Great interview with Adam Ondra over at Mountains and Water:

I have always taken climbing really seriously. Climbing hard and obtaining my goals has always been very important. It was very difficult to admit failure and I did get frustrated. But at same time, it has always been a perfect and beautiful game to play.

Dave MacLeod On The Issue Of Injury Lay-offs

Dave MacLeod touches on a topic I unfortunately have way too much experience with:  figuring out how much of a lay-off is necessary to recover from injury

The basic rationale for lay-off is to allow the tissue some rest and a chance to recover from it’s severely compromised state. There are quite a few assumptions built into the decision to completely rest the tissue. First, that the tissue will really benefit from complete withdrawal from the sport. Unfortunately, this isn’t strictly true.

Finish your book on injuries soon, Dave, before it’s too late for me!

Sean McColl Flashes Nagual (V13)

Speaking of the Hueco Rock Rodeo, Sean McColl was five double-digit problems into his day when this happened:

At 2:39pm on March 3rd, 2012, I made the second1 flash of Nagual V13 (8B) in Hueco Tanks. This is hardest flash I’ve ever completed.

I’m not sure which is harder to fathom: McColl flashing a V13 that late in the day or the fact that his 3 V11, 1 V12, 2 V13 effort was only good enough for third place in the Rodeo??

Nina Caprez Repeats Mind Control (5.14c)

Nina Caprez Repeats Mind Control (5.14c)

Just a day or two after Daila Ojeda did the FFA of Mind Control (5.14c) at Oliana Nina Caprez succeeded in redpointing the route as well.  She calls the route a “perfect line” on her blog where she also had this to say about the grade:

The grade of Mind Control is really not extreme. If somebody will downgread, why not.
