Pretty mellow holiday week coming up. There should be some ice to climb any day now. If you’re stuck in front of a computer today, here’s a series of two short videos about bouldering in Baja by Chuck Fryberger, courtesy of Cloudveil’s new videos page. Enjoy!

When it's warmer, a float down the Colorado is always fun. The benign sections can be ...
Number 5 is hilarious. I very much approve. 
Of course, the Love Muffin! I don't know about Slickrock though, that could also be a trip ending rest day ...
Someone should sanction the Eiger Sanction trailer. Egads, that's some bad editing, filmmaking, acting, ...just bad 
Don't forget the Love Muffin Cafe! Renting a Mountain bike can also be fun. The slickrock is pretty wild. Great points Tristan.

I feel like there need to be scary runout routes around because there's something to be said about being scared ...
