A Podcast for Climbers (And More!)

On February 16, 2012 By AB

I’m going to pull my best Ethan Pringle impersonation and do something I always swore I’d never do with this blog: apologize for not having updated it in a little while. I wish that the reasons for my absence were even a fraction as glamorous as Ethan’s usually are, which usually go [...]

Adam Ondra’s Tantrums Part 2

On January 24, 2012 By AB

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 [...]

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 [...]

Climb Like a Child and Other Lessons for Beginners

On September 3, 2011 By AB

Jen and I took our friend Lauren climbing a couple of weekends ago. Lauren teaches fifth grade at the school where Jen teaches Kindergarten; she just got back from a summer abroad in the Swiss Alps, where did a little bouldering and that whet her appetite to climb more rocks back home in Colorocky.

It [...]

SPEWed Out!

On August 30, 2011 By AB

I TOOK ON the responsibility of organizing and planning the annual Rifle Clean Up this year, and I approached the event with the goal of making it more fun than it usually is.

Climbing Dictionary: An Interview with Matt Samet

On August 18, 2011 By AB

What do words do for us?

There are many studies showing that, without words, without language, we cannot think. At least no more than a rat is able to think.

Having words and symbols to describe our world is not only necessary to our ability to navigate it as conscious, intellectual beings, but words somehow [...]

30 at 30

On August 15, 2011 By AB

On Friday I turned 30—a nebulous and volatile age in which you are either “old” or “still young” depending on the other person’s perspective. On this morning after such a high-speed weekend, however, I must admit to feeling a little … um … not old … let’s say worn down.
