One way to maintain climbing access? Show people the money. That's the approach places like Bishop, Red River Gorge, and, now, Squamish have taken.

It’s that time of year again–the AAC has invited the editor of Accidents in North American Climbing, Pete Takeda, to hop on the pod to chat about emerging trends in climbing accidents. This year, we’re also delighted to have a conversation with Dr. Valerie Karr, a professor at UMASS who has stepped in to help us with a massive data analysis project. Valerie used grounded theory analysis to parse through 20 years of accidents data—picking out patterns in how human behavior contributes to accidents. We discuss some examples like risk normalization, the mentor trap, and attitudes around fixed gear. Dive into the podcast to hear about her findings and learn more about the case studies that stuck out to the editors this year.

The light trickling through dusty, half-drawn shades is not telling of any particular time of day, perhaps evening. Weak rays of sunlight barely cut through the haze that lingers at the… https://climbingzine.com/hypoxic-dreams-by-vic-zeilman/

Award-winning wildlife photographer says, "It's every bit as perverse as you can imagine and once again shows just how little respect these associations have for our big predators that are such a key to our province's biodiversity..."
