DVD Winner & Back From Yosemite

Posted July 23, 2008 at 9:56 am · Comments { 6 } ·

Before we left for our Left Coast trip I failed to mention the winner of our Free DVD competition.  The winner was Isaac and he unfortunately chose The Australia Project.  I say unfortunate because I really didn’t want to give that one up!  Nevertheless, I will get that out to you in the mail by […]

Finger Injuries Of Doom

Finger Injuries Of Doom

Posted July 4, 2008 at 6:14 am · Comments { 12 } ·

Posted July 3, 2008 at 9:20 am · Comments { 8 } ·

It’s summer in the Frontrange of Colorado and that can only mean one thing, boulderers escaping to the cooler temperatures of one of Colorado’s alpine bouldering areas. Cooler temps, good rock and beautiful scenery make alpine bouldering the highlight of many people’s year. Oh…and those hikes. The climbing at both Rocky Mountain National Park and Mt.

Update On The Climbingnarc.com Forum

I added a forum earlier this year that had been temporarily lost in the shuffle of updating the design of this site.  Now that things are settling down I fixed things up so that the forum looks a bit better along with some added functionality. The big change is that you can now upload images […]

Guide To Choss

Posted June 12, 2008 at 12:45 pm · Comments { 0 } ·

The aptly named Splitter Choss Blog has a helpful guide to the different kinds of choss one might come across when searching for new rock.  I think the rock at Governor Dodge probably falls somewhere between Chunky and Sucker.
