    C is for climbing… but also for Champion. During the 2009 fall Himalaya climbing season, I got an incredible invitation to join a climbing team for an attempt on Pumori, sponsored by Champion Hanesbrands. (The game of gossip telephone in the Khumbu region that season was about the underwear model climbing Pumori — I was neither an underwear model, nor did I climb Pumori. The route was far more technical than my skills appropriate for, and altitude sickness kept me no higher than this — the summit of Kala Patthar. But my word what a trip. I’m sure other pics from that trip will show up here as the alphabet goes on.

    I wish I still had my old glory days climbing pictures. I was so young, so fit, so strong. So scared. So so scared. I’ve learned so much about emotional regulation and fear and stress and performance … I can’t believe I did as much as I did as scared as I did in those climbing days.

    In another climbing forum, user Leslie H. warns of a proposed $5/day parking fee for the Wrinkled Rock Climbing Area, and points to the financial impact to climbers visiting the area. N.B. do not participate or brigade other communities, please keep the discussion confined here My local crag is managed by Conservation Halton, who charges about $12 CAD for a day pass (which includes parking). Since I live in a suburban area, and the conservation authority serves the entire Greater Toronto Area, I feel this is well worth the cost. This money doesn't go towards the local climbing community, so I encourage those I climb with to also get memberships with the Ontario Alliance of Climbers (~$20/year) That said, do you pay to climb at your local crag? How much do you pay, and would you stomach a price increase?

    When we fail on large moves, most of us tend to think we just need to pull more and pull harder—and our training reflects this bias toward the upper body. https://www.climbing.com/skills/hips-climbing-training/

    Some rivalries are just as career-defining as the actual accolades athletes earn on the wall. https://www.climbing.com/competition/olympics/7-greatest-comp-climbing-rivalries-ever/
