Climb Safe
What They Don't Teach You in Belay School
Why one little-used technique can make or break your fall. I’ve always viewed trad- or ice-climbing falls as more serious than sport whippers.

John Long: It Started with a Pile of Stones
Chasing ghosts on Hawaiian sea cliffs.
Green Party
My senses sharpened, and I smelled the damp, pungent forest floor 20 feet below. The crimp bit into my fingertips with a fierce comfort, and I swung my feet out into space and then forward to high-step on the arete.
Return of the Verm
Sitting in a friend’s living room in Saint George, Utah, I was showing a group of climbers my photography when one, whom I had met for the first time 30 minutes prior, proceeded to rip my work a new one, only to compliment it in the same breath.
Charlie Fowler American Alpinist

Faders SUM Review
Let us give thanks for auto-locking devices, for they have saved our butts. They allow us to loaf on portaledges, bolt sport climbs, hold our hang-dogging chums and zip down single lines.

Gear Advice
Are My Fuzzy Quickdraws Safe?
I have been climbing on the same draws for seven years now. The nylon is kinda fuzzy, and the rope-end 'biners are worn about a quarter of the way. Is it time to replace them? They seem strong, and I've seen worse draws at the anchors of a lot of sport crags.
