Chris Sharma Bolting In France
This new video has already been spread around quite a bit, but it’s just so good we had to post it here as well. Sure, it may be blatantly showing off a bunch of the slick new Petzl gear, but it’s also a great glimpse into the mind of Chris Sharma, and his process of [...]

Independence Pass – Ice Caves Bouldering

Weekends With Piz
About a month ago, Arc’Teryx put out this great video of Grand Junction local Rob Pizem, a self proclaimed weekend warrior with a penchant for putting up new routes. Rob balances being a dad, husband and teacher, and still manages to get after it on the rocks. Sit back and enjoy a great tour of [...]
Hayden Kennedy on the Carbondale Short Bus
By now most folks are aware that Carbondale’s own Hayden Kennedy established the hardest pitch in Indian Creek this past March, with his ascent of the Carbondale Short Bus. Austin Siadak captured some great footage of Hayden on the send, though he makes it look so casual it’s hard to tell this is the hardest [...]
Climbing the Rainbow Wall
It’s been a wonderful and warm week here in Colorado, and we’re taking advantage of spring break to chase down some sunny sandstone. And on that topic, Outdoor Research has put together a great video of two folks climbing on the Rainbow Wall in Red Rocks. Enjoy, and here’s to getting out in the warm [...]

Vail & Redstone Ice Featured in North Face Athlete Videos
It’s mid winter, might as well keep the ice climbing stoke going! The North Face just released two new videos profiling their athletes Emily Harrington and Sam Elias, with some sweet footage shot at Vail and Redstone.

Local Beta – Friends & Family Wall
I wish I could say the new guidebook will be out any day now, but unfortunately that’s not the case. Maybe because the previous edition came together so quickly, this one is falling into the usual guidebook trap of repeatedly pushing back the deadline. The good news is that many new routes are going in [...]
