At last, they’ve done it. I didn’t think it was possible, but DeadPoint Magazine has released an entire issue focused on women climbers!

The Birthday Spore

I got my hands on Jason Kehl’s new feature last night, and I get to pull on it for my birthday… It’s nice when Rockwerx HQ is down the road. Too bad I’m stuck in a cube today, and not pulling on some Gunks Conglomerate… -NS

Climbing with Mom, Part Two: Good Times at Farley

Climbing with Mom, Part Two: Good Times at Farley

I heard something last weekend that I never thought I’d hear from my mother regarding climbing: “Yeah, I’d definitely like to try that.”  It was directly followed with something I absolutely would expect to hear: “Do I have to cut my nails?” Other notable quotations: Mom: “Ugh.

Merry Christmas from Eastern Climber! I got new stuff, mofo.

Check out my new Miuras… I asked for VS’s, but hey, that’s the magic of Christmas! Also, I got a new Nikon D60 DSLR.  Which means that, once I decide on the glass, I’m going to be posting beautiful, professional-grade photos – no more shitty camera phone business.    Christmas in our house is a [...]

Things to Do Other Than Climbing

Things to Do Other Than Climbing

Sometimes reality catches up to you and you need to take a break from climbing.  Yes, it sucks, but if you trained hard enough, you’ll come back stronger.  Plus, things like shoulders, pulley tendons, and biceps sometimes need more than 24 hours to heal.  The difficult part is staying away from the rock.
