Posted August 14, 2008 at 2:03 pm · Comments { 7 } ·

It is with great interest that I have been following the controversy surrounding the upcoming Bob Horan guidebook to the bouldering in Colorado’s frontrange that is to be released by Falcon Press. If you haven’t been following along, the book is causing a stir on multiple levels. The initial firestorm began a few weeks back […]

DVD Winner & Back From Yosemite

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 } ·

Being that I am no stranger to finger injuries, both benign and catastrophic, I was extremely dismayed to recently learn that two of our young protégés have cracked bones in their fingers.  Kevin and Tony have been quickly improving their climbing over the past year (under our tutelage of course) only to have these injuries […]

Pad Stashing Redux

Pad Stashing Redux

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.
