All the tick marks are not mine, please don’t come at me.

Crack is about 0.3-0.75 size-wise, I ringlocked once at the start and otherwise side pulled the whole route. Fun!

My mate has put blood sweat and tears into developing a few routes at a crag near Dunn Lake in Clearwater BC. Already widely considered a hub for outdoor adventure, this will prove to be such an asset to the community!

Spent a few weeks this past spring climbing and hanging in Yosemite. Captured some of the classic valley shenanigans, a couple of climbs, and got up the first 4 pitches of The Nose, so… pretty stoked on that. Hoping to give the full thing a go this fall but we’ll see. Still have to get my wall systems dialed.

If you were climbing a bit downhill of Fortress of Solitude today, I got a couple pics of your group from the trail.

There are lots of these little boulders along the saint Laurent's river right where I live. Bow Im by no means a great climber but today after drinking my morning coffee while walking along the riverbank I saw a rock that looked a lil too fun and I couldn't resist 😂. Was a great afternoon

Seems like an amazing line.

I hope one day the current generation of content creators looks back and is able to admit that the grainy television effects (particularly on Mellow, but all the rage on a variety of channels these days) were a bad choice. Maybe it’s just me, and maybe I’m just spoiled by channels like Wedge Climbing where high-quality storytelling is the preferred mechanism for padding video length to maximize YouTube’s ad count, but the forced low-res cuts in videos like this make them hard to follow the actual climbing. Just my two cents.

Just bought it myself and I’m excited to finally read it.

Since last years post was well received, I thought I'll share some impressions again. Almost 500 people gathered at the Kastlhof campsite in the idyllic Altmühltal right next to some really good climbing! We had interesting workshops and presentation and awesome live music!

Sure, a sport climb can stop below a substantial crux and be its own legitimate route. But I think alpine climbing should have different standards...   https://www.climbing.com/culture-climbing/climbers-new-summit-peru/

Me and my climbing partner decided to take it up a notch, and I lead my first 4 alpine/trad pitches outside of my home crag (the skinners butte columns in eugene Or.) Our final total was 4 pitches, 14.8 miles of hiking and one hell of an amazing day!

In light of the article here's a good pic of the east summit.

En-route to Mera Peak ( November)

I thought this was a prank— no, reality is just terrible.

this is more of a version 1 but still functions great, pins can be removed and put into other holes to make smaller or larger crack, shown in the photos is a finger jam, fist and a regular hand jam. if anyone has any ideas on how to improve version 2 please lmk. the problems I faced making this were: hole on sliding board not lining up well with rail, pins being difficult to remove due to ridges. on the note of the ridged pins, I do highly suggest keeping them because their extra friction allows them to not slide out when in use. also also i plan to drill a hole at thr bottom and run some cord through it to hang weights!
