Henry Barber Interview
Getting settled back in here today, but I did come across something cool over on Patagonia.com. It appears they’ve put together a little climbing section to go with their new catalog (which has a climbing focus), including some videos and interviews. I just listened to the Henry Barber interview, which I posted below. Very cool, […]
One Crazy Summer
The Grand Teton, limestone sport climbing, granite boulders, 1000′ sport climb and basalt cragging…and that’s just the last 11 days! Time to get some work done, hang with friends here in Boise and then back to Colorado on Sunday. Yesterday I got to check out the Memorial Route on Slick Rock, a 1000′ sport climb […]
Off To Idaho
Well, my time here in Jackson is at an end. Got to check out some fun stuff despite being focused on wedding and family time. Getting some work done today, then off to Boise to meet up with friends and hopefully climb a
Cragging in Jackson
I’ve always wondered about the cragging around Jackson. Sure the mountaineering is top notch, but what is there to do if you don’t want to hike for two hours? Well, while the options aren’t huge, turns out there is some fun stuff lurking in the shadows of the peaks. I’ve been sneaking away during the […]
A Grand Celebration, Teton Style
This coming weekend my brother is getting married in Jackson, and what better way to celebrate the end of his bachelor hood than with an ascent of the Grand Teton via the Upper Exum Ridge. I’ve spent a lot of time in Jackson in the winter, but the summer trips always seem to revolve around […]
Redstone Boulders For Sale?
Can anyone confirm or deny this? When I drove by the other day I saw a sales pamphlet at the road leading to the boulders, and a friend who picked one up said it’s a large area that’s for sale. Anybody know if the land in question includes the boulders? Is it time to get […]
Need a Good Climbing Shoe Resoler?
So did I, and after some research using the Google, I decided to check out Pro Deal resoles in Pueblo, Colorado. I sent the shoes in and got them back in a very quick turnaround, maybe a couple of days. The work looks top notch, and I’m psyched to get the revitalized shoes out on […]
Leave the Damn Trees Alone
Ok, so I have to rant here a bit. At the Front Porch cliff at the Narrows, there was this cool bonsai tree living in a nook near the start of two routes. Fortunately, the tree wasn’t blocking any important holds, it was just chilling there, doing it’s tree thing, probably all zenned out or […]
Colorado High Country Fun
Well the snow has finally receded just enough to allow great access into the Colorado high country. In the last week I’ve climbed Grizzly Peak, Cathedral Peak (trip report coming soon from Tracy) and been up to Crater Lake below the Bells. Now is a good time to hit some of those Elk Range peaks […]
Grizzly Peak Couloir
Now that warmer days are here, it’s time to get up into the high peaks and enjoy the freedom of summer mountaineering in Colorado. I love how efficient travel over snow covered mountains on skis is, but there’s something to be said for heading off into the peaks with a jacket, water, some food and […]
Bulldog Creek Dog Walk (IV WI 4+)
Hayden Carpenter and Tom Bohanon recently repeated an obscure ice climb on the south side of Mt Sopris. Given a brief mention in Jack Robert’s ice guide, Bulldog Creek Walk is described as being 100 meters of WI 4. What they found was seven pitches of ice in a remote setting that makes for one […]
