So, as many of you know by now the Wigster has finally gotten a proper job. Someone finally pitied him enough to invite his presence into their work environment, good luck Urban Climber! No really, Wiglets is gonna do good things over there for those guys, so watch out! With that said, we, as in Wig and I decided to get a gym session in this morning over at Movement fitness, the official place of cool these days. Before we sunk…

If you climb and you’re in the U.S. right now, chances are you’re either cowering from winter in a gym, living it up in Hueco (we hate you) or martyring yourself on your project in the freezing ass cold. This little video of features a couple of die hard winter boulderers—Luke Parady and Chad Greedy—attempting Boulder Canyon’s Super Proj in bitter conditions—and goes perfectly with a glass of warm whiskey on the couch.

Sometimes you just can’t send. It doesn’t matter how much you tweak your beta, how hard you try, how often you try, or long you rest. No matter what you do, it just never happens. It is times like these that try climbers souls. In those trying times, try some or all of these hints. They will make you send. I promise.
1. Stop Washing The Dishes
FIGURE 1
Climbers seem to spend more time fussing over the condition of their skin than a conspiracy theorist researching the melting temperature of structural steel. We all know that prolonged exposure to water makes you skin prune and get softer than a 12 year olds dick. I mean, do you really think that the skin in FIGURE 1 is going to be crimping very much? NO. Climbers know this, yet this keep washing their dishes. It’s like they want something to bitch about at the crag. QUIT WASHING YOUR DISHES. Seriously. Unless you like crying like a little bitch on your project. And while your at it, quit washing your hands. Swine flu be damned!
Holy shit it’s been a while yeah? We are lame, you’ve heard it before, we’re sorry, we’ll try harder blah blah blah. You don’t care about our excuses, so I won’t give them to you.
The crew here would like to pay some respect to ice climbers. We went ice climbing. Well Bronco and Limit went ice climbing. I walked around like an idiot with 6 jackets on and my snowboarding pants and sneakers freezing my ass off while a spectacle of mini-epic proportions unfolded before my eyes.
As you all may have guessed, Team P and C has a special aversion to the cold. We like it comfortable. Sticky rock, climbing in t-shirts and belaying in jackets. That’s ideal right there. We like placing gear and clipping bolts. We don’t do the soloing thing too much, and run outs are alright on the right terrain. Anyway. Ice climbing doesn’t seem to have any of this which is ESPECIALLY troublesome for a bunch of bumblikins like us.
Here’s a list of things that happened yesterday: (more…)
