REI CEO Nominated For Interior Secretary

Posted February 12, 2013 at 7:52 am · Comments { 1 } ·

All caveats about the broken nature of our government aside, this seems like it has to be good news:

President Obama on Wednesday nominated Recreational Equipment Inc. (REI) chief executive Sally Jewell to head the Interior Department, praising her as a leader who “knows the link between conservation and good jobs.

The choice of Jewell, who began her career as an engineer for Mobil Oil and worked as a commercial banker before heading a nearly $2 billion outdoors equipment company, represents an unconventional choice for a post usually reserved for career politicians from the West.

Just Another Weekend For Adam Ondra

Posted February 11, 2013 at 7:03 am · Comments { 5 } ·

Once again not resting on his success, Adam Ondra went right back to work this weekend in Spain.  Friday he did the 2nd ascent of Chris Sharma’s Fight Or Flight (5.15b) at Oliana and then Saturday he onsighted two 5.14b’s at Cuenca according to 8a.nu.

In Dura Dura follow-up news, 9b has a good interview with Ondra where he touches on a few things including what he learned during the 9 week process of projecting this route:

That after two weeks of working the same route, it is very difficult to make further progress. That was quite suprising to me.

The 3rd and 4th weeks on La Dura Dura were completely pointless, I was climbing one level below and no matter how efficiently I climbed, I couldn’t and didn’t progress.

A nice gallery of images of Ondra on the route can be seen here.

Posted February 6, 2013 at 3:27 pm · Comments { 17 } ·

Chris Sharma reports via his Instagram account that he has done the FA of one of his projects in Santa Linya, Spain:

Today in Santa Linya was one of those illusive moments. I sent a project that I’ve been trying the last few years.

I think I’m going to call it Stoking The Fire and I think it’s pretty solid 9b. So many hard complex sequences with no rests!
