Everything climbing and the outdoors.
On February 12th, accomplished climber and author Steph Davis is coming to Boulder to give a slideshow presentation at Neptune Mountaineering. The following day, on Friday, February 13 at 7pm, All Climbing is hosting a meetup / welcoming party with Andrew Hyde (a startup guru in Boulder) for Steph. Andrew is a good friend of […]
From what I consider to be a somewhat morbid website, I was forwarded a link from Obit Magazine (yes, a website all about people dying, I don’t care how they try to spin it) regarding a climbing death at Seneca Rocks, West Virginia last Fall. The author reflects on her death and how other climbers […]
You may have heard about the impressive recent ascent of the 45-foot high ball Ambrosia by Kevin Jorgeson on the Grandpa Peabody boulder in The Buttermilks, Bishop, Califonia. Big UP was on hand to film the ascent and UKclimbing.com describes Ambrosia as a “V11 boulder problem in to a 5.13a (F7c+) solo.” And Wills Young […]
Adam Ondra sends the first repeat of Francois Legrand’s, “Roby in the Sky” rated 9a, in the Calanques outside Marseilles, France. (via Czech Climbing and 8a.nu)
Stewart Green writes up an excellent and detailed analysis of a climbing accident at the Garden of the Gods, Colorado. Apparently there were two sets of anchors at the top of The Practice Slab, an 80-foot sandstone slab route on South Gateway Rock, but the climber used the older set. This climber, however, disregarded the […]
On the theme of climbing access, please take some time to view the documentary Heart of Stone, a film from Andrew Kornylak and Josh Fowler. This is a fantastic, must-watch climbing video. I spent a lot of time climbing and bouldering in the Southeast and this film really hits home emphasizing the access issues as […]
My postal mail has backed up quite a bit over the past couple weeks and I just started sorting out some of the non-bills. I saw an Access Fund letter and immediately opened it – time to renew. I should have remembered this sooner, especially since Climbing Narc posted about the Access Fund recently. Luckily, […]
If you climb in the Colorado Front Range, please read the following announcement posted recently on Mountain Project: The Flatirons Climbing Council (FCC) has received a generous matching-funds offer to encourage donations. The donor has agreed to match up to $1,000 in donations received by Dec 31. The FCC uses donations to purchase materials and […]
Lynn Hill has sent Chablanke (V11/V12) in Hueco Tanks, Texas making this the 7th female ascent of the problem. While it’s always to great to hear about strong sends from young(er) climbers, I’m always most impressed with news from climbers past the age of 40. I suppose it’s because as I get older I gain […]

Check it out and if you see […]
