Without members and donors like you, we would fall short F of accomplishing our goals. I recently came across some interesting statistics in the Outdoor Foundation’s annual Outdoor Recreation Participation Report. In 2008, 4.7 million people in the United States participated in bouldering, sport climbing, or indoor climbing, and 2.3 million people went trad climbing, ice climbing, or mountaineering. It is also interesting to note that less than 1% of these climbers are members of the Access Fund. And the majority of our support comes from membership. We are working on climbing issues all across the country, from California to Maine. While we have had many successes and our reach is broad, just imagine what would be possible if we were able to increase our membership base: more grants, more direct support of local climbing organizations, and, ultimately, more climbing areas open and protected. We could use your help. Chances are a number of your climbing friends and partners aren’t current Access Fund members. Please take a moment to tell them about our work and the impor- tance of joining us, not to mention benefits like discounts on gear, grants for local projects, timely information and alerts about local access issues, and a subscrip- tion to the Vertical Times.

  • 2010 Metolius Climbing 2
    2010 METOLIUS CLIMBING 2 It’s shocking to think that it’s been twenty-five years since we cranked up the Metolius Climbing machine, and 2010 marks our 25th consecutive year in business! Wow! Getting our start in Doug Phillips’ tiny garage near the headwaters of the Metolius River (from where we take our name), none of us could have envisioned where climbing would be in 25 years or that we would even still be in the business of making climbing gear. In the 1980s, the choices one had for climbing equipment were fairly limited & much of the gear then was un-tested, uncomfortable, inadequate or unavailable. Many solved this problem by making their own equipment, the Metolius crew included. 3 (1) Smith Rock, Oregon ~ 1985 Mad cranker Kim Carrigan seen here making Much has changed in the last 2 ½ decades since we rolled out our first products. The expansion we’ve seen has been mind-blowing the 2nd ascent of Latest Rage. Joined by fellow Aussie Geoff Wiegand & the British hardman Jonny Woodward, this was one of the first international crews to arrive at Smith and tear the and what a journey it’s been. The climbing life is so full of rich and rewarding experiences that it really becomes the perfect place up. The lads made many early repeats in the dihedrals that year. These were the days metaphor for life, with its triumphs and tragedies, hard-fought battles, whether won or lost, and continuous learning and growing. when 5.12 was considered cutting edge and many of these routes were projected and a few of Over time, we’ve come to figure out what our mission is and how we fit into the big picture.

Since the dawn of the history of science from Copernicus (who took the details of Ptolemy, and found a way to look at the same construction from a slightly different perspective and discover that the Earth is not the center of the universe) and Galileo to the present, we (a hoard of talking monkeys who's consciousness is from a collection of connected neurons − hammering away on typewriters and by pure chance eventually ranging the values for the (fundamental) numbers that would allow the development of any form of intelligent life) have gazed at the stars and attempted to chart the heavens and still discovering the fundamental laws of nature often get asked: What is Dark Matter? ... What is Dark Energy? ... What Came Before the Big Bang? ... What's Inside a Black Hole? ... Will the universe continue expanding? Will it just stop or even begin to contract? Are We Alone?

    This is a unique point in history. The world has changed dramatically. What started out as a warning, turned into a pandemic and transformed life as we know it. So, it’s time to train now to climb later. We play the long game and stay positive. Climbers know that the secret to solving a problem is not just about getting stronger, but also about getting smarter. Research on astronauts, explorers, mountaineers and others who have coped in extreme situations show there are many creative ways to deal with confinement and isolation in uncertain times. Climbers are part of a strong community that knows how to stick together. Maybe overcoming this pandemic will mean that we come back even stronger? There are so many examples of positive responses, resilience and solidarity. It might be tough out there at the moment, but there will be a point when we will be able to look back at these times and say that we made it through. We look forward to better times ahead. The problems, the crags, the mountains will all still be there once this is over and it’s safe to get out there. When the world opens back up, we’ll be ready.

  • Climbing Equipment Research2.Pdf
    SCIENCE VERSUS THE MOUNTAIN AN ANTHOLOGY OF CLIMBING EQUIPMENT by James Allison WRTG 2010, Section 45 Tamara Evans November 10, 2000 On a warm, June afternoon my partner and I crested the top of Crescent Crack, a gorgeous granite rock climb in Little Cottonwood Canyon. We gazed above us at the next formation. The Coffin loomed above, aptly named not because of a grim history, but because of the six-sided rock roof above that assumed the shape of its namesake. An inviting hand and finger crack spanned vertically the mottled granite face that stretched out below the coffin-shaped roof. Neither my partner nor I wanted to stop for the day, and we soon concurred to continue climbing, rather than to take the available descent route. The weather was great, and having climbed the Coffin before, I knew it was a superb route. Soon we were on our way up. I rhythmically secured my hands and feet in the solid, beautiful crack, absorbed in the movement and nuances of the climb. I had climbed numerous times before with my partner, who was down below belaying me (passing a rope through a device ready to hold a fall). I had complete trust in her attentiveness and ability to hold my weight should I fall. The climb was sustained and enjoyably challenging. Soon I reached the base of the roof, and while hunching over, I underclinged the crack between the roof and the wall. I lackadaisically fumbled with my equipment, aiming to secure a new point of protection at the roof.
