Fire In Rocklands

Via 8a comes the disturbing news that a fire has raged through the area in South Africa which includes Rocklands:

Over the course of the next eight days the fire spread slowly and eventually made its way past Heuningvlei, into the Rocklands area.  The fire swept through the climbing zone, where it is still burning in places, devastating vegetation throughout the reserve.

  A strong south-westerly wind, however, pushed this inferno back into the Agter Pakhuis valley

The fire is apparently mostly out now, but already one fatality has been confirmed in addition to unknown amounts of damage to structures, wildlife and of course the boulders people come from all over the world to climb on.

Interview With Josh & Brett Lowell

Cool interview on the American Alpine Club’s blog with Josh and Brett Lowell, the brothers behind Big Up Productions:

When they aren’t shooting at exotic crags all over the world, they’re at home with their families, bouldering at the Shawangunks, and editing in a two-story cottage surrounded by quiet woods, just across the lawn from Josh’s residence in Pound Ridge, New York.

It could just be that they came to prominence during the formative years of my climbing career, but there’s something about Big Up’s early work that sticks with me in a way that movies released in the past few years don’t.
