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.
If only this man had a ciggarette...
Get Fat and Smoke
Fat people eat more, this is true (the methane gas produced by all those burger making cows is quite damaging to the glaciers, I’m told). They also die earlier and thus use fewer resources. Fat smokers die even earlier. Now THAT is responsible living.

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.

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.
