    Jah Man (5.10) Sister Superior
    The mighty Jah Man checks in at a legit 5.10c. It’s not some super-hyper-sandbagged mid-range 5.11 masquerading as a 5.10+. Jah Man tackles Sister Superior’s sheer West Face via 250 steep feet of Wingate sweetness with exposed climbing, plus great gear and perfect belay ledges.

    Climb Safe

    The Dangers of Short Static Falls
    CRACK! The jolt back onto the bolt, into which you are still quickdraw-tethered, stuns you. You only fell two feet, but your neck is stiff and your innards feel like they’ve been kicked by a mule.

    John Long: On the Road
    And you thought your last climbing trip was tough.
    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.

    A Sport for All Ages
    At this the most lovely old man got up at the furthest and humblest end of the hall, as he had got up on all similar occasions for the past half-century.
    Cheap Holds Mini Board Review
    Everyone liked the concept behind this board: small, simple and inexpensive. Not only does this tiny, 4.5-by-18.5-inch unit sneak in where larger boards can't, it's compact enough to toss in the trunk.

    Medical Advice

    Back: Herniated Disc
    I'm 34 and have three herniated discs in my back (prior to starting climbing, nine months ago). I have degenerative disc disease, a narrow spinal column and no promise that surgery will help.

    Training Tips

    Never Get Pumped Again
    If your forearms inflate like balloons and your fingers always seem to uncurl just before the anchors, then this two-part series on endurance training is just what you’re looking for.

    Climbing Rope Sheath Slippage
    Rope sheaths and cores are meant to work as a team, pulling for a common cause, much like a ring master and circus midget, pulling for a common cause.
