All Inked up…

bronco — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 20:21:03 +0000

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 our mitts into the plastic paradise, Wig and I stopped by his office, hahahahah, sorry, had to laugh that he has an office. Well, while he was doing some work, hahahahaha, I was cruising through some archived Urban Climber shananigans and found a 411 column that dealt with a dude named Samuel Wood.

Now, I’m sure Sam is a quaility dude. He probably likes chicks, beer, climbing, tattoos, most things that involve being young and awesome. However, there’s one thing he really likes, I mean likes enough to get tattooed on his forearm no less. We ain’t talking no pussy tattoo on your inner thigh, lower abdomin or your foot, I’m talking smack dab in the middle of his forearm for all the world to see that he, yes you Sam, has a crush on Chris Sharma. There, I said it. As far as climbing celebs go, man-crushes always lead to Sharma, he’s the Brad Pitt of our little niche, but come’on Sam, did you really have to go and get Sharma’s signature inked on your forearm? Really? Well, he did, it’s forever…FOREVER!

Scope the full 411 here…

Sam, if you’re out there and reading this, email us, we want to do a follow up article in 20 years.

Welcome to Winter!

cnote — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 00:15:53 +0000

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.

Want to Climb Harder? Five tips you’ve never heard before

limit — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 20:00:59 +0000

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!

Whiskey Wednesday: Ice climbers

wig — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 20:20:01 +0000

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…)

6 Ways to Spot a Bumblie

wig — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 23:29:41 +0000

Oh you know them when you see them. And if you don’t know the ways to identify them there is a really good chance you ARE the bumbler.

1. Janglies

I don’t know how else to describe these things. They’ve always got them. It’s like little pieces of flair they attach to their harnesses and or backpacks. None of it is useful too. Like they’ll take an extra locking biner up a sport route, or their grigri. Or they decorate their school bags with carabiners and Nalgenes. Carabiners are not accessories! I know because I have one as a keychain. Instead of Occam’s razor I’m going to start calling it Sharma’s razor. Cut out everything that isn’t totally necessary e.g. get rid of the daisy chain thong. Really. (more…)

Whiskey Wednesday: Some Shit Goin On

wig — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 23:11:30 +0000

I know I know it’s been a week since we posted anything. We’re sorry. In between climbing and looking for work that actually pays money and the other two actually WORKING we’ve been… busy. Or something. Anyway. Tentatively Whiskey Wednesday is going to our friend Sonnie Trotter who is giving a slide show tonight at Neptunes in Boulder. I know that doesn’t apply to all of you and I’m sorry. It WILL be amazing.

Next is the Adventure Film Festival happening around these parts again. From Novermber 12-14 there is a lot happening. What? You don’t believe me? There’s too much going on for me to even post in this post. You need to go here and check it out because it will no doubt be worth whatever it takes to get to these events. More to come on this, but for now it’s time for me to go drink some WHISKEY. And I promise tomorrow there will be some awesome new content for you.

Whiskey Wednesday: Jeremy Collins

wig — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 23:56:13 +0000

Bout time for us to take that Halloween post off the headline I think. Sorry it’s been there so long. It’s Whiskey Wednesday again and this week it happens to be P and C friend Jeremy Collins’ birthday! We’ve interviewed Jeremy before, but he needs more representation because let’s face it. The guy is a total badass. He has one of the better tick lists I’ve seen but it too nice of a guy to spout about it. I had to hurt him just to glance at it. He’s a fucking FANTASTIC artist and if you don’t already have a piece of his art decorating your house, you should acquire one. He has a book out that has the last decade of his work. I’ve seen it and it’s perhaps the best coffee table book that has ever existed. I’m not kidding. Anyway. Tonight we’ll be cheersing to him. You can if you like if not cheers to birthdays. or cheers to art. or cheers to… I don’t care just make sure you drink something.

Here’s a little gallery to show off some of Jer’s work. Really go check him out if you haven’t. (more…)
