How to Choose a Climbing Rope

On February 29, 2012 By AB

The climbing rope is responsible for saving thousands of climbers’ lives every single day. No piece of gear more important than the rope. It’s not only your lifeline, but a link to your partner—and your ticket to a wild, high place. It’s a metaphor for everything that is truly meaningful in this vertical [...]

Cerro Torre for Dummies

On February 23, 2012 By AB

Did you know that Maestri’s gas-powered compressor was hauled up to the summit of Cerro Torre in 1990 during the filming of Werner Herzog’s film Scream of Stone?

The plan was to helicopter the infamous power tool down to El Chalten and have it brought to Reinhold [...]

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 [...]

Review: Mammut Climax 9.6

On February 2, 2012 By AB

Normally I shy away from ropes that lack dry treatment because I find them to be less durable than their dry-treated counterparts. My opinion has changed with this new budget-priced rope, the Mammut Climax, a 9.6 mm cord that lacks dry treatment.

I’ve been whipping on the Climax all summer and fall, and still [...]

Review: Patagonia Northwall Jacket and Pants

On February 2, 2012 By AB

Like most people who are active in wintry mountains, I prefer the breathability and comfort of soft shells to the absolute waterproofness of hard shells. If it’s actually raining, I’m heading home. However, I often find most soft shells to be too thin to wear in truly cold weather without employing multiple layers—often [...]

Pawtuckaway Lowball

On January 31, 2012 By AB

Pawtuckaway is impenetrable. The forest extracts a haunting “Blair Woods” paranoia from its visitors. The old-growth trees live adjacent to a stagnant swamp that has to be one of the largest breeding grounds for mosquitoes in the world. The bloodsucking pests rise through the cool, wet air like hellfire damnation.

How to Explain Climbing

On January 30, 2012 By AB

Have you ever tried to explain this “sport” to someone who thinks that a crimp is really just a crazy pimp? I take it for granted that you all know what I am talking about when I write something like: “He would’ve onsighted the 5.13a, except for the tickmark beta that had been sprayed up [...]

Evolv-Shaman-Rock-Climbing-Shoe

Evolv Shaman

On January 28, 2012 By AB
What It Is

High-performance climbing shoe, designed by Chris Sharma, for vertical to overhanging sport climbing and bouldering.

The Verdict

The shape and design of this shoe provide a lot of performance features for a climbing shoe that is wickedly comfortable. The Shaman is not only a great way to break into the category of [...]

Scarpa Instinct

On January 28, 2012 By AB
What It Is

Gently downturned, precision edging shoe for vertical to overhanging sport and trad climbs.

The Verdict

The Scarpa Instinct is a lace-up climbing shoe that finds a home on everything from all-day trad climbs to performance sport-climbing days to V-hard boulder problems. With only 3.5mm of rubber on the sole, the [...]

La Sportiva Pythons

On January 28, 2012 By AB
What It Is

An indoor bouldering and route-climbing slipper that also has a place outdoors on steep pockets and edging climbs.

The Verdict

One of the better slippers on the market—a new take on a classic design. The Python features some modern upgrades such as rubber on top of the toe for toe [...]
