→ FA Of Gepresster Hase (V15) By Martin Keller∞

Posted May 1, 2014 at 10:54 am · Comments { 2 } ·

Nice write up by Martin Keller about his recent FA of Gepresster Hase, a proposed V15 in Sustenpass, Switzerland:

But after a wild party night (till 3am) I finally got this one try for which I had waited so long. This try on which I got that exact rhythm that made it possible to hit every hold perfect and aloud me to top out the best and hardest boulder I ever did and put up the FA of”Gepresster Hase”, Sustenpass, Swizzy.

Couldn’t be happier 😉

It’s worth keeping in mind that it was just a couple years back that Keller ripped his hamstring from the bone and had to take some eight months off from climbing.

→ Sufferfest 2∞

Climbing.com has a nice report on the recent “Sufferfest 2” undertaken by Alex Honnold & Cedar Wright:

Now they have completed Sufferfest 2, a 700-mile ride through Canyonlands in Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, and Arizona, bagging desert towers along the way.

Over three weeks, the two climbed 45 towers—a total that normally takes years even for hard-core desert aficionados.

→ Musta Been High∞

Heather Weidner, writing on her blog about her recent repeat of the notorious trad line Musta Been High (5.13 R) in Eldorado Canyon:

Some might say I Musta Been High to climb this route, but I did not take advantage of our local Cannabis dispensaries. Musta Been High is a traditional climb in Eldorado Canyon rated 13c R. It has a reputation for being hard and scary, with most gear so small that it may not hold a fall.

→ Prana Living, Yoga Gear Maker, Is Sold to Columbia Sportswear∞

Posted April 29, 2014 at 7:35 pm · Comments { 12 } ·

Interesting news today about one of my favorite companies:

On Tuesday, Prana Living, a yoga gear maker, was sold to Columbia Sportswear for $190 million.

Prana will join Columbia’s stable of sports apparel brands, which include its eponymous mountain gear line, the upscale Mountain Hardwear, and Sorel, the boot maker. Columbia, based in Portland, Ore., has a market value of $2.86 billion, but its shares were up 6.5 percent in after-hours trading on news of the deal for Prana, and good first-quarter earnings.

I’m not actually sponsored by any companies¹, but I often like to joke that I am sponsored by Prana provided I ignore my credit card statements. I love their clothes and basically try to only engage in activities, be it work or play, where I can wear their stuff.

Knee jerk reactions to this kind of deal in the outdoor space are not usually met with a lot of optimism², but I’m hoping for the best.
