On the home stretch of the hike out, both Pat and I were probably thinking about how vulnerable our position was: trodding along a narrow path in the woods, surrounded on both sides by a nice cover of tall brush. In the pitch dark. Almost in unison, we saw to our right, not 25 yards away, two beady yellow eyes…

. Tomorrow, we’re going to road trip it down to Maryland to bring you what you can’t get from a live web broadcast of the entire competition: Not sitting in front of your computer all day when it’s supposed to be really nice on Saturday in the Northeast. So, if you can’t make it to [...]
The first problem was an onsight. Thus my long, slow, ‘tard-like top out. Things were literally crumbling as I was pulling over the lip. A few weekends ago I was at beautiful Nine Cornered Lake. Its probably one of the most aesthetic places to climb I’ve ever been to. Right next to the main bouldering [...]

The counterpoint to those times are when you feel overwhelmed, as if everything has reached a plateau – your climbing progress, career, women, etc. [...]
I had an amazing weekend checking out a new climbing spot called The Northeast, and bouldering in an all-weather favorite in Little Falls, NY. Last, we did some winter exploration of Moss Island. Here are the pics: The Northeast Unfortunately, we were only able to sort out the directions to the Northeast with enough time [...]

I went to Dr. Desio’s office at St. Vincent Hospital. He is a leading sports medicine orthopedic specialist, and, from the looks of the framed posters and awards, has worked with many notable athletic organizations, including the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympic team. He began with the basic questions: “How long has the pain persisted?” [...]
