BY JOHN BURGMAN YOU MAY have been rock climbing before, but you’ve never done it the way Nathaniel Coleman is doing it right now at the Momentum Indoor Climbing gym in Salt Lake City. Coleman isn’t climb- ing so much as Spider-Manning his way up a 15-meter wall, all instinct and quick reflexes, just a few feet from the top in under six seconds. That’s where he coils his legs and leaps (yes, really), smacking the buzzer before falling backward to swing from his safety harness. Electric, right?

Discussions on these themes have been on-going in the local Victorian and wider Australian climbing communities for many decades. These discussions highlighted a need to broaden the ways for climbers to build collaborative relationships with Traditional Owners and land managers. Over the years, a number of endeavours to build and strengthen such relationships have been undertaken; Victorian climbers have been involved, for example, in a variety of collaborative environmental stewardship projects with Land Managers and Traditional Owners over the last two decades in particular, albeit in an ad hoc manner, as need for such projects have become apparent. The recent widespread climbing bans in the Grampians / Gariwerd have re-energised such discussions and provided a catalyst for reflection on the impacts of climbing, whether inadvertent or intentional, negative or positive. This has focussed considerations of how negative impacts on the environment or cultural heritage can be avoided or minimised and on those climbing practices that are most appropriate, respectful and environmentally sustainable.

    Free Solo, Or Climbing in Posthuman Times

    The Avery Review Margret Grebowicz – Free Solo, or Climbing in Posthuman Times In his latest piece in the Atlantic, “The Anthropocene Is a Joke,” science jour- Citation: Margret Grebowicz, “Free Solo, or Climbing in Posthuman Times,” in the Avery Review 41 nalist Peter Brannen argues that it’s arrogant to think that human impact on the (September 2019), http://www.averyreview.com/ planet could take the form of an epoch. “The idea of the Anthropocene inflates issues/41/free-solo. our own importance by promising eternal geological life to our creations. It is of a thread with our species’ peculiar, self-styled exceptionalism—from the animal kingdom, from nature, from the systems that govern it, and from time itself.” Our time on Earth will have been much, much, much too short for the anthropogenic environmental damage that we imagine having such long-term consequences to show up as anything more than “an odd, razor-thin stratum [1] Peter Brannen, “The Anthropocene Is a Joke,” the hiding halfway up some eroding, far-flung desert canyon.”[1] Atlantic, August 13, 2019, link. The essay’s provocative title is misleading. It’s not really a critique of the Anthropocene idea, which, though it relies on the language of geological epochs, is actually a framework for thinking about the present. Instead, the essay is about geological time, which, Brannen writes, is “deep beyond all comprehension.” Furthermore, as much as he strives to restore humans to their correct—tiny, insignificant—place in natural systems, his particular framing of the situation functions according to its own internal logic of separation.
