Great reporting by Sid Balman, Jr.

on the bizarre alleged murder that took place at Maryland’s Carderock at the end of 2012.  The piece does go off the rails a bit and the end, however:

There has been much soul-searching among Carderock climbers and more than a tiny bit of hand-wringing by national climbing groups concerned that this incident might somehow be interpreted as another sign that the heyday of traditional rock climbing, and the largesse of the industries that support it, may be drawing to a close.

I’m not sure how a story of a man with a history of drug abuse and mental instability allegedly killing another man reflects in any way on the state of climbing or the industry as a whole.

→ Fire Hits The Grampians…Again∞

Posted January 30, 2014 at 7:51 am · Comments { 0 } ·

Another year of fires in Australia:

How long the northern Grampians will remained closed is anyone’s guess. Parks Victoria will have to go in and assess the damage and replace any critical infrastructure.

In the meantime, it is important that climbers not climb in closed areas.

Last year quite a few climbers ignored bans on climbing and bouldering in the Victoria Range, a fact that did not go unnoticed by Parks Victoria, and we have already heard reports that climbers have been found by Parks staff climbing in Summerday Valley.

→ Outdoor Retailer Winter Market 2014 Climbing Report∞

Posted January 28, 2014 at 2:33 pm · Comments { 0 } ·

On a more serious Outdoor Retailer note, Splitter Choss has their usual lowdown on a few of the new items shown off during the recent Outdoor Retailer Winter Market including a new line of crashpads from Petzl:

Petzl has a new crashpad, the Alto. In typical Petzl fashion, it’s tricked out to the nines. First up, the pad is zipped up on three sides, which means any gear you put in it cannot fall out.

Then, when you unzip it, the cover then flips over to the side with straps, and seals them inside so they don’t get dirty.

You then throw the pad down, straps up, which allows it to lie flatter.

Also, several velcro straps make it easy to covert to a chair, which everyone does with crash pads anyway. There are two sizes, retail currently stands at $280 and $399, though they are working on bringing those down by the time the pads launch in the fall.

The prices seem high and zippers seem like more of a pain than they’re worth on a pad, so it will be interesting to see how these pads perform once they’re released.

→ The Death Of Plaid?∞

Posted January 28, 2014 at 7:27 am · Comments { 1 } ·

Dark times:

For the past three Outdoor Retailer shows, I’ve blogged about the longstanding prevalence of plaid shirts in the outdoor industry. This year, I was burned out; I didn’t want to talk about plaid any more.

But as I walked the red-carpeted runways of the show last week, I realized I wasn’t alone—lots of people have had their fill of plaid and are ready for a change.
