WILDCOUNTRY WB21.Pdf 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.

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.

  • This Is Me Waking up 1000Ft up on El Cap's North America Wall
    This is me waking up 1000ft up on El Cap's North America Wall. I am not overly psyched. Although you cannot see it in the photo, at this point I was being blasted by ice cold wind, being showered with bits of ice and I had a knee that had seized up. My psyche level was around 1 out of 10 and despite sort-of hoping that things would sort themselves out, I had pretty much already decided to bail. I really did not come here to bail but somehow the idea of going back down is, on the whole, more reasonable when you are on a route compared with when thinking about it at home. So, what was meant to be my first big-wall solo, became my first big-wall bail. ~- x -~ A week earlier I arrived in San Francisco. It was after a pretty hectic week and I was knackered, I think, due to this, somehow I managed to lose my wallet between airports. It took a while to accept this - I do not lose things. Boring story really; but I made contact with friends-of-friends, crashed at theirs and spent the next 48 hours getting cash via Western Union and finding somewhere that would rent a car using photos of a debit card and a counterpart driving licence. I arrived in a cold and rainy Yosemite Valley on the 7th of May and, with no a tent, I set to work to find a bivi with a roof. Once found, I went shopping for the gear and converted the car boot in my gear store/wardrobe.

  • Mount Hooker's North Face
    Mount Hooker’s North Face R i c h a r d K. M c C r a c k e n T h e G o l d e n Age of Mountaineering is still with us on great, impressive faces in the Wind River Range. The 1800-foot north face of Mount Hooker was one of the better-known, though not the only one of these unclimbed walls. After a week of climbing in the Cirque of the Towers region, Royal Robbins, Charlie Raymond and I made a reconnaissance of it from Base Camp at Graves Lake. The face has a prow-like bend in the middle, which appears in sharp, nearly vertical profile as you approach from the lake. A network of cracks cover it, and two long, sloping ledges high up slash across the left side. The upper one, which we dubbed Der Main Ledge, diagonals up to the summit, and the lower one, Der Minor Ledge, parallels it a few hundred feet below. Its appearance from the base discourages the climber and it is easy to see why at least two other parties surveyed the wall but did not climb it. Although the face is covered with a maze of cracks, there is no obvious line of attack. Various cracks appear climbable but many are useless because they either have inaccessible beginnings or lead nowhere. We noticed a promising series of chimneys and jam-cracks, starting 800 feet above the ground. They lay on the prow and led to Der Minor Ledge and eventually the summit.

  • 5Rig Adv.Pdf
    78 VERTICAL Ultralight and Cord Technique have a reduced safety factor when compared with traditional rigging. They therefore demand totally competent Alpine caving technique and even then extra precision. These rigging techniques are most useful for prospecting or light sporting trips when a small number of cavers will pass and wear on gear is not severe. Ultralight rigging Ultralight rigging is not so much a technique as a philosophy of reducing equipment weight, then rigging extra carefully to compensate. Rope makes up the bulk of your load so use the lightest available—8 mm, 7 mm and hopefully in the not too distant future even thinner ‘super fibre’ ropes. Deviations instead of rebelays and an absolute minimum of slack in rebelays give considerable rope savings. Thin ropes are not at all tough so use pure Alpine technique only, with NO rubbing of rope against rock. Rigging gear can also be reduced. Seven millimetre aluminium maillons on belays and mini-krabs on deviations are lighter than standard karabiners. Direct attachment bolt hangers or tying the rope into the eye of hangers (aluminium with rounded attachment hole only please) will also save weight. Leave pitons and nuts at home and use jammed knots and slings instead. The greatest risk in Ultralight Rigging is that 7 mm and 8 mm ropes cut very easily as they zip across rock edges under the weight of a falling caver. Rig ropes to avoid this by using tight backups and Y belays. This also keeps the chances of shock loading of the rope to an absolute minimum.

  • 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.
