Everything climbing and the outdoors.
There have now been three issues of the weekly Climbing Digest email newsletter, so I thought it was time to talk about the project in a little bit more in detail. As I mentioned in my site re-boot post, one of the projects I’ve wanted to launch for a while (quite literally years, as I […]
From Black Diamond: It all started in the gym for BD Athlete Carlo Traversi. Now, 15 years later, he’s come full circle, tracing his roots back to where it began, only this time, as the owner of Sacramento’s new premier bouldering gym. But Carlo’s motivation is not only to provide quality plastic pulling, but also […]

I started All Climbing back in January 2005 — 14 years now! There have been many ups and downs, including pretty much a full stop back in 2010 when I was in the middle of running a startup. Over the intervening years, while I didn’t post to the site, I continued to curate links on […]
Every once in a while I run across a non-climbing link that I think my blog readers will really enjoy. This video (via Jeremiah Owyang) shows base jumpers using specialized suits to enable them to almost fly and perform maneuvers while being arms length from the cliff line. Quite impressive.
While the “top X” of anything can be heartily debated, take a look at this clip from The Top 20 Classic Boulder Problems of North America released last year by Flashed Climbing and Rock & Ice. Over 500 top climbers were asked to name the most classic boulder problems in North America. This is a […]

Most climbers absolutely love watching climbing videos on the web and climbing bloggers try to oblige by curating and promoting the best ones we find. In order to make it even easier to find and watch great climbing videos, All Climbing has partnered with Force5 to create a video channel network on our site. You […]
As a chronic sufferer of finger injuries, I’ve sought out the most effective ways of preventing injury while climbing. I’ve also hired many personal injury lawyers (learn here about them). From my own personal, non-scientific studies over the past six months or so, I’ve found that stretching each finger individually has demonstrated noticeable gains. By […]
Stewart Green, author of Rock Climbing Colorado and other guides, has written a new climbing guide to Europe called Rock Climbing Europe. “Rock Climbing Europe” is an oversized, sturdily bound paperback guide that Green finished after 15 trips to Europe for research, climbing and interviews with climbers. “When I started going to Europe in the […]

The Daily Pennsylvanian has a short article about Ivan Greene and bouldering. The rock climber recounted his six sprained ankles, torn hamstring, ruptured disc and torn shoulder as he led an instruction session yesterday at Pottruck Health and Fitness Center. Nothing terribly exciting about the article except it does give a bit more background on […]
