Be Careful What You (Sort Of) Wish For
As climbers we spend most of our time concerned about avoiding injuries to our precious upper body extremities, most importantly our hands. Injuries to seemingly non-essential climbing tools like our legs are usually not at the forefront of our minds. In fact, I often argued with Mrs. Narc that I would rather have a leg injury than an arm injury. This was at the time that she was spending 6 weeks on the couch with a broken ankle so she was nonplussed to say the least. After the events of last week in Rocktown, I’m starting to come around to her point.

New Rocky Mountain Highball Website
Rocky Mountain Highball is a climbing movie that has been in the works for several years now. In case you couldn’t guess, the movie is going to prominently feature highball boulder problems from all over Colorado’s Frontrange as well as interviews with the climbers who climb them. In anticipation of the April 27th premier in Boulder, CO, a new Rocky Mountain Highball website has been unveiled and it’s pretty slick.
