Welcome to Winter!

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.

Easy Days

Everyone has nights out that leave you broken, tired and more or less hungover the next day.

If you don’t run into one of these people then you can bet you are the one you aren’t running into. And if you’re a girl don’t assume you’re the token hot girl either. There’s usually only one of you so you’re probably the Annoying Girl. Just…

Phil Schaal’s been killing it recently. In the past year alone, this Connecticut climber has ticked 15 V13s, including some rare repeats of hard East Coast lines—The Book of Bitter Aspects (V13) in Bradley, Conn., Agent Orange (V13) in the Gunks, and the Chelsea Smile (V13), Ty Landman’s new sit start to Divine Providence in Lincoln Woods.

I have no idea what this thing is or what it’s all about but someone sent a link to this video and I thought, “Well that’s the dang funniest thing I’ve seen today.” So I’m posting it here for you all to see. Could be worth checking out since it involves at least three of the following: poop, climbing, sex, campusing

The campfire is a great place for stories, beers, beers and laughs. It’s where we all find ourselves trying to regrow the skin on  our tips after a long day of pulling down rocks. Last night was no exception for our crew after the foosball table in the barn at Hueco Rock Ranch long lost it’s luster (a.k.a after Rick and his shit-talking lady friend owned us in a quick match). Very quickly the conversation around the fire digressed into…
