Whiskey Wednesday: Jenny Lavarda

Jenny just sent  Solo per Vecchi Guerrieri. It’s in the Dolomites and it’s 500 feet tall. It has four pitches that all clock in at or higher than 5.12 with the hardest of them being 5.14c/d. She did this because she’s a badass Italian.
I’ve never wanted to be a badass Italian girl so much.

How to Spot a Climber’s Home

It’s an ugly sight. We all know that. That may be your first reaction when you see the veritable tidal wave of climbing shoes and beer bottles cascading from the ceiling as you enter the door. You’ll wonder where  the smell of feet is coming from and also why there is a thin layer of white dust on top of nearly everything. It looks as if the only clothes this person owns are jeans, t-shirts and mojo shorts which of course are haphazardly strewn about on the floor while the …

Whiskey Wednesday: We Failed

You all know it. We totally failed. We suck. We are terrible bloggers. We spent too much time climbing and drinking over the last two months and not enough time giving you content to post  bitchy comments about. Anyway. Here’s the short explanation:
Everyone’s computers broke.

How to Sport Climb

I just got this promo video from friend Andrew Bisharat. He just wrote this new book about sport climbing that promises to teach you how to be a badass. If you don’t know who Andrew Bisharat is. Shame on YOU. He often pops up on the site in the comments section saying something pithy and full of self-delusion under the name AB if you see one of these comments make sure to give him as much shit AS POSSIBLE. He likes it because it makes him feel validated in the …

Easy Days

Everyone has nights out that leave you broken, tired and more or less hungover the next day. I believe the term is overconsumption, and my dad calls it “overachieving.” I, however do not prefer such negative terms. I prefer words like “awesome” and “dude, this is awesome.” Then again in the morning it seems like I forget how much “fun” the night before was. In any instance, when you wake up you’re throats scratchy from screaming at each other in the bar and smoking too many cigarettes, and you’re head …
