cavernous, łódź, nov 2025 I had a previous shot from the same position (in Zatoka Sportu at the Lodz Polytechnic University) on here somewhere, but lately they decided to put that wall to the left in. esthetically not that ideal as previously the building felt light and airy, while now it feels cramped despite all the space. I assume it had more to do with the noise from either side of the wall though. #climbing #photography #monochrome #blackandwhite

Keen mountain adventurer Rio James might only be nine, but he's already braced arctic weather conditions and altitude sickness to raise money for a food poverty charity.

In this episode, we sit down with Jarod, a long-time AAC member, to discuss a crazy accident he had at his home crag in Missouri, and how he utilized the AAC’s rescue benefit to cover the cost of his medical expenses. If you’ve been wondering if the AAC’s rescue benefit is for you, Jarod’s story helps explain how it works. We dive into the quirky concept of “girdle traverses” or mulitpitches that go sideways, and analyze his accident— the decisions he made, how traversing complicates gear placements, and the close calls he had. Funnily enough, Jarod also did a FA on that same wall—putting up Missouri’s potentially longest rock climb with Jeremy Collins, and this FA made it into the American Alpine Journal! We discuss the vision behind this 8-pitch traverse, what went into making it happen, the silliness of climbing, the unique belay tactics for traversing, and more! https://americanalpineclub.org/news/2024/6/26/protect-first-ascents-ground-falls-and-the-aac-rescue-benefit-in-action
