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 [...]

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.

Summer Slump

Fear & Living in Rifle

On November 14, 2010 By AB
Last Sunday, my most enduring redpoint battle came to an end, and I clipped the chains on Living in Fear. I wrote about my then failed efforts to mount this prude bitch in a recent Tuesday Night Bouldering in Rock and Ice, which can be read HERE. Despite already having written so extensively about my painfully trivial trials and tribulations [...]

Training 2010

On January 18, 2010 By AB

Wise people admit their mistakes easily. I must be dumb, because for the last few years, I’ve noticed myself falling into a very predictable routine in terms of my climbing performance. Usually, I train for a couple months during the winter simply by bouldering indoors and get a little stronger. I enjoy about [...]
