    Joanne Urioste is a powerhouse in Red Rocks climbing history, and we had her on the podcast to share stories from her recently published memoir, “Collages of Rock & Desire.” Her book is a detailed catalogue of the climbing legacy she shares with her husband George Urioste, including the creation of iconic multi pitch climbs like Epinephrine, Levitation 29, A Dream of Wild Turkeys, and many others. The book is also a detailed account of gear innovations and changing climbing ethics through the ‘70s and 80’s—from swami belts and belay plates, to early adoption of nuts and frontpointing on ice, and adding a run-out bolt here and there to connect discontinuous cracks and make many climbs possible on Red Rocks soaring faces. In the interview, we dive into all of this, plus Joanne and George’s wild love story, managing fear on lead, and climbing as a metaphor for life. You can find a copy of Joanne Urioste's book on Amazon.

    I know a lot of climbers and Hick is certainly representing that group of people.But, it sure seems like fixed climbing anchors are a perfect example of "permanent installations,” exactly what's banned in wilderness.Why should climbers be exempt? Because they're my friends and have fun climbing?Explain to me why it's wrong to ban permanent installations in wilderness or why climbing is special.https://coloradosun.com/2024/09/23/senators-hickenlooper-climbing-anchors-wilderness/#Colorado #wilderness #climbing
