Apparently, Teva is sponsoring a contest to become a Teva Life Agent which is a very strange way of saying that they are going to give somebody  $10,000 to go have an adventure if they video and write about it. A couple good friends of ours, Aly and Ali have entered this competition and asked us to share their entrance video. Apparently, the more times it gets viewed, the better their chances of winning. We are all about…

The Stronger You Are….

Climbers are an interesting breed and sometimes they can be hard to understand. But as an armchair scientist, I firmly believe that anything can be explained by a graph. To that end, I spend Independence day plotting mountains of data. Here are the results.

Vidz. BOOM.

Holy shit! Somehow our website is still here! I thought for sure our domain would have expired and been bought by some site poaching dickwad a long time ago, but luckily for you they haven’t.

For that last six months, we’ve been drunk. That’s why we haven’t posted. Normally though, drunkenness would only encourage our posting but this was a different kind of drunk. It was the kind of drunk where everyone got responsible. Limit and Bronco were working all…

Crimson Tags

In the last few weeks, an enormous controversy about red tagging routes has sprung up. People who have never red tagged, never bolted and never scooped a project suddenly have unbending opinions on the matter. We at P&C, who have spent years doing all three as well as decades in the study of morality and ethics (Kant, Kirkegaard, Derrida, St. Paul, Wittgenstein and Aristotle for the philistines out there) have come up with an unflexible, unbending set of rules about this matter(and pretty much all other controversies in climbing “ethics”).

How to Have an Adventure: a guide for the unmotivated

Quite often, I have friends tell me about the adventures they are about to go on or have just gotten back from–Yosemite, Patagonia, The Black Canyon, The Bugaboos. This usually succeeds in making me jealous, partly because I wish I could afford these far away magical Valhallas and partly because I wish I had the cojones to actually climb the routes there. Instead of saving my pennies and dimes or cultivating a better lead head, I have learned how to…

Sustainability: It’s all the rage

Living in the front range and especially living near boulder, I hear a lot about sustainable living, being green, conserving, being responsible. I’m told that as a climber, I should care about these things even more. I’m also told that as an(supposedly) educated person, I should be able to think and analyze this stuff for myself. Here is what I’ve come up with.

Get Fat and Smoke

Fat people eat more, this is true (the methane gas produced…
