Having just returned home from the winter OR Trade Show, I was pleased to see that my article about the new Adam Ondra movie, as well as Ondra’s big-league wobblers, created such a lively online dialogue. There were many people who seemed to be right [...]

Adam Ondra’s Tantrums

By AB On January 24, 2012 · 1 Comment
wizard_apprentice

With over two years in the making, “The Wizard’s Apprentice,” the definitive documentary about the world’s best rock climber, Adam Ondra—who, for all the attention he has received in the last five years, still remains rather mysterious (especially to Americans) in terms of his personality, opinions and approach—carried some high expectations [...]

Training with Justen Sjong

On January 11, 2012 By AB

The first time I ever experienced technical climbing was during a lesson that my then high-school girlfriend surprised me with for me for my 16th birthday. And though I didn’t actually dive into the sport until a few years later, that was the first and only time in all my years as a full-fledged climber [...]

2011: The Year of the Free Online Climbing Video

On January 4, 2012 By AB

After my article listing the 10 best climbing ascents of 2011 went viral,  my boss was filled with glee and instantly demanded more articles just like it. My idea was to do a post on the Top 10 Online Climbing videos of 2011. This idea seemed simple and relatively brainless compared to [...]

Chester

On December 19, 2011 By AB

Sitting on my couch, I was sober as a nun, an odd state in which to find myself on Cinco de Mayo, the Mexican holiday that we Americans annexed years ago. I had just eaten a quarter pound of fish tacos when a tiny shadow darted across the floor. As quickly as It [...]

Climbing to the Death

On December 8, 2011 By AB


OLIANA, EVENING, 58 degrees F, a magic wind blows. Chris Sharma screamed and everyone froze.

“Venga, venga!” the chorus shouted.

“Venga, tio!”

“Venga, bicho!”

“Venga, venga, venga! A muerte!”

Again Chris produced his distinctive animal yell. We kept screaming for him to Go! Go! Go!

Chris clung to the wall by infinitesimal points, [...]

Living “The Dream”

On December 1, 2011 By AB

A little while ago, I had this incredible dream about an idea that could potentially change everything that we know about rock climbing. I’ve been meaning to post something up about this idea because I need it to be released into the universe as it should be discussed.

But before I get into this curious [...]

China Destiny Part Two

On November 10, 2011 By AB

 

Southern China is an undiscovered trove of amazing limestone. These mountains run 2,500 kilometers from China all the way down to Vietnam. Who would’ve ever guessed that, in the year 2010, one can still find a virgin 750-foot arch with amazing rock that has a staircase (1,368 stairs) leading directly up to its base? [...]

China Destiny Part One

On November 9, 2011 By AB

Her name was Chiaki, she was the first girl I ever kissed back in third grade, and ever since then I have always had a certain fondness for Asian women. I find them beautiful. Thus understandably, my heart fluttered when three attractive Chinese women approached me last week, shyly holding delicate smiles behind their thin [...]

Legends Rising: a few thoughts on climbing today

On November 8, 2011 By AB

2011 has been an absolutely legendary year for rock climbing. We’ve seen a crazy number of 5.14c onsights (by Adam and Ramon), the first American woman to climb 9a (Sasha), two 5.15’s sent in a day (Chris), numerous cutting-edge sport climbs, continuing development of V14-plus boulders here (Dave) and abroad, Alex’s mind-bending streak of Yosemite [...]
