  • Do you rock climb, and also use an Android device? Do you want to try an alpha to get some beta? (har har har)

    ... via the OpenBeta Discord... we're seeking Android users to test drive the upcoming alpha release of the OpenBeta mobile app:

    I'm planning on making an internal Alpha release this week. If you have an Android device and would like to be included in this, please DM me your email so I can opt you in. We need at least 20 alpha testers to be eligible for public release so I encourage everyone to test the Alpha build if they can! — Vichy79

    If you're interested, simply DM Vichy79 on Discord, or reply here and I will pass on the message!

    In the meantime, here's a screenshot of what the image viewer looks like in-app. Pretty slick!

    You can also join our OpenBeta Discord here.

    P.S. Did you know we just did a volunteer spotlight on Vincent? Check it out!

    @bean Likewise! The local route devs in my area all send their guidebooks up to Rakkup, whose app is... erm... passable... at best.

    I'd love to be able to find and tick climbs directly from my phone at the crag.

    Would you fix your own shoes with this DIY shoe repair kit? Supposedly it is for when you wear away part of the rand with foot dragging, or poke a hole in the rubber on sharp rock. [image: 1737127112057-1000006936.png]

    This film explores the connections between those who develop bouldering areas, and those who visit thereafter to sample their creations, as well as looking at Ceria's personal checklist for what makes a boulder special. https://www.ukclimbing.com/forums/t.php?n=777771

    We are so excited to have longtime AAC member Rick Accomazzo on the podcast to chat about his new book “Tobin, the Stonemasters, and Me, 1970-1980.” This book is part memoir of Rick’s own early climbing career, part revealing biography of Tobin Sorenson, the forgotten Stonemaster who was an incredible all-arounder; and part a distillation of a decade of climbing culture. With these three threads, the book weaves together many untold climbing stories from an iconic, pivotal decade, from “before climbing lost its innocence,” as John Long says in his forward to the book. Listen to the episode to hear some key stories from the book and learn about the ten-year process of putting it together. We’d also like to congratulate Rick for his book being longlisted for the Banff Mountain Literature Award! Dive into the episode to get your dose of forgotten climbing history.

    Janja Garnbret, Sorato Anraku, and Jakob Schubert are clear crowd favorites. But there are plenty of others who could snag gold. https://www.climbing.com/competition/olympics/underdogs-sport-climbing-paris-olympics/

    At the AAC, we believe that addressing equity issues in climbing is not mutually exclusive from best business practices. That is why, in partnership with The North Face, we designed a Pay What You Can (PWYC) toolkit, a free resource for gyms who want to offer alternative payment models alongside—or in place of—traditional membership structures. Although much of our work at the AAC is outdoor-centric, we recognize that many climbers are introduced to the sport through a gym, and therefore a holistic approach to climbing access requires us to consider challenges across the climbing spectrum, including indoor climbing. Our hope is that with our toolkit, gyms can implement sustainable PWYC models that offer a product that is attainable for those in under-represented income brackets, with the added benefit of increasing these gyms’s memberships and maintaining a profitable business. We examined 47 existing Pay What You Can (PWYC) programs within the climbing gym industry, interviewing 16 program leaders for further study, in order to analyze the viability and best practices of PWYC programs. While PWYC programs take on many forms, they all share an essential goal: to provide financial options for individuals and families who are otherwise unable to afford a gym’s day pass or membership at “standard” rates. In this toolkit you will find: https://americanalpineclub.org/news/2024/7/12/pay-what-you-can-pwyc-toolkit
