“Top Out On See Spot, When You See It”

Posted March 28, 2012 at 6:15 am · Comments { 6 } ·

Jason Kehl mentions in another update on his Facebook page that Ashima Shiraishi has done Barefoot On Sacred Ground (V11 or 12) with the highball See Spot Run finish thrown in for good measure. The Big Up cameras have been rolling throughout her trip so look to see Ashima once again in this year’s Reel Rock Tour. Kehl has had his camera rolling so look for footage from Ashima’s trip to appear somewhere at some point in the near future.

Outside Voices

Interesting thoughts from Peter Beal in his latest shot across the bow at the current state of affairs in the climbing industry:

To read the offerings in magazines and online is to recognize that there are no prominent outside voices, pun intended, who are willing to rock the boat in any meaningful sense, to call into question the numerous dubious assumptions built into the marketing-focused image of the sport that is achieving dominance today.

Review: Welcome To The Hood

Posted March 27, 2012 at 7:18 am · Comments { 11 } ·

Welcome to the Hood[1. WTTH from here on out] is the second offering, after the well-received The Schengen Files, from Paul Robinson and Alex Kahn’s PRAK Media. WTTH follows Robinson, Daniel Woods, Guntram Jörg and Anthony Gullsten to various European hotspots. And much like The Schengen Files, WTTH was more or less filmed, edited and packaged for sale by the climbers themselves. Since climbing movie reviews are notoriously difficult to write, I will try to keep this pretty simple.

I Flashed That On My 3rd Redpoint Shot Of The Day…

Posted March 26, 2012 at 10:17 am · Comments { 2 } ·

Australian photographer Simon Carter has a nice dispatch from Catalunya that includes some of his usual amazing pictures and a brief note on how public perception of how quickly things are being sent over there doesn’t always meet reality:

I first noticed something strange when a climber sent a route second time that they were on the route that day, and their ascent was reported in the media as “second go”, yet the detail about them having been on the route the previous year didn’t make it through to the news report.
