Is climbing as innate as sharing, copulating, greed, or even walking? Many evolutionary biologists would offer that the essence of climbing can be found in our DNA. It is hardwired into us, this desire to be in the vertical world. And beyond that desire, our bodies are built for the physical challenges of climbing. by…

Finally back to #climbing after 2 months of absence. And got to highpoint with an onsight of the green route in the image located between the person climbing on the left and the Autobelay on the right. Votes for the grade are 50-50 between UIAA 7- and 7. Most holds are smallish pinches and the second to last hold is an uncomfortable slopery hold. The upper third of the wall is slightly overhanging. #IndoorClimbing #GymClimbing #LeadClimbing #Klettern #Vorstieg

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

It was that familiar feeling you get when you finish a big climb—that immense wash of relief that climbers all know, when you finally touch down from that last rappel, and you are once again planted on solid ground. It’s a bittersweet transition from the transcendental vertical realm to the horizontal plane of the ordinary.…<hr /><p><a href="https://climbingzine.com/guerreras-by-zach-clanton-an-excerpt-from-volume-24/">https://climbingzine.com/guerreras-by-zach-clanton-an-excerpt-from-volume-24/</a>
