Followup to Climbing Shoe Rubber Test Results - Mark Silliman, founder of Spadout, provided me the following feedback on the climbing shoe rubber study I recently posted:
I wouldn’t have touched the climbing rubber test if I wasn’t willing to get criticized. This is a very hot topic. Obviously tests will always only determine how well products do against that individual test. [ ]... Top Climbing Gear Deals for the Holidays - It’s that time of year again. The holiday season is upon us and retailers will be going especially crazy this year to try and boost sales in this recessionary climate. I don’t know about you, but I stay away from the stores on Black Friday and do any shopping entirely online.
With that in mind, I [ ]... Climbing Video: Natalija Gros Climbs Histerija 8c+ - Natalija Gros of Slovenia makes an ascent of Histerija (8c+) in this documentary video of sport climbing.
The clip has great climbing footage and the musical score is very different from what is normally heard on most climbing videos, but it absolutely fits well here.
Natalija Gros from Jure Breceljnik on Vimeo.
(via Joost, TubeGuide)... Climbing Shoe Rubber Test Results - Most climbers have a preference for climbing shoe rubber and love to argue about which is the best. Spadout sponsored a test of nine popular climbing shoe rubbers and published the results. The surprising winner was the Evolv Trax XT-5.
There is one big issue I’d like to point out in this study. The test was [ ]... Climbing Food Review: Clif ZBars - Today’s guest post is from Ryan Wanger, a climber who writes at The Reluctant Eater.
Clif. The name is synonymous with climbing (perhaps it’s the logo?). If you’re like me, then you’ve always enjoyed Clif Bars, but rarely buy them because frankly, you’re a cheapskate. Nutritious? Yep. All natural? Absolutely. Tasty? You betcha! In fact, it’s [ ]... Adam Ondra Repeats Open Air 9a+ - Adam Ondra has made the second ascent of Alex Huber’s 55m long Open Air (9a+) at Schleier Wasserfall, Austria.

Online Bouldering Guide for Boone, North Carolina - Recently I had a brief Twitter discussion with @WasatchGirl who is currently on an extended climbing trip. She was in Boone and wondering if there was any printed guidebook available. From my last visit I didn’t think there was any, but I did remember a few resources online that I had bookmarked.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t find [ ]... Ice Climbing Season is Fast Approaching - When I lived in the Washington DC area, one of the (few) benefits was being able to get cheap flights on Southwest to New Hampshire. This allowed us to take trips for ice climbing in the White Mountains.
I attended the Mt. Washington Valley Ice Festival numerous times and had a blast. The ice climbing there [ ]... John Muir and the Yosemite Museum - The Wall Street Journal has an interesting article on John Muir, his first ascent of Cathedral Peak in 1869, and the recent exhibit in the Yosemite Museum called “Granite Frontiers: A Century of Yosemite Climbing.”
Muir was Yosemite’s first climbing bum — a rara avis then, but a species that is not at all endangered today. [ ]... Chris Sharma Slide Show at the New River Gorge - For those if you in the Southeast or Mid-Atlantic regions of the U.S., there’s an upcoming event you won’t want to miss.

How to make a prusik knot - The prusik hitch may be pretty basic for many readers, but there are certain essential knots that every climber should know.
The American Alpine Institute has posted a great video illustrating the prusik knot.
Alpinists keep a variety of technical tools in their back-pockets. One of the most important tools is the prusik hitch. The prusik hitch [ ]... Trailer for the upcoming Echo Wall climbing film - Echo Wall is an upcoming climbing film by Dave MacLeod focusing on cutting edge trad climbing on the north face of Ben Nevis in Scotland.
