How To Belay Part 1
No commitment—not even the one to your SO—is as binding as that of the belay. When you hold the rope, your partner’s life is in your hands. Screw up this marriage and you give new meaning to the vow “till death do us part.”

The Beast of the East
Remote, unknown and protected by a scarcity of information, Maine's Mount Katahdin, with 4,000 feet of elevation gain, arctic weather and big, bold alpine and rock routes, may be the Northeast's best-kept secret.
Mad Max
WHEN MAXIME TURGEON AND LOUIS-PHILIPPE MNARD stepped onto the Ruth Glacier in the spring of 2005, no one in the climbing community had ever heard of them.

The mighty Grimer and the world's best climbers square off at Arco.
Faders SUM Review

Medical Advice
Can't Lose with the Anti-Inflammatory Diet
Working on my elbow tendonitis years ago, a chiropractor-climber, Eric Vining, put me on two teaspoons a day of fish oil. Lemon-flavored though it was, I found it awful. When I whined, he switched me to three fish-oil capsules a day. Better. But still not great.
Training Tips
Do Forearm Trainers Work?
I have seen quite a few forearm strengtheners on the market. Is any one better than the other in terms of results?
Gear Advice
Can I Fix Delaminated Rock Shoes?
I was getting ready for summer up here in Canada, and noticed that I had burned through three pairs of shoes last season. My shoes delaminated on the inside toe and wore through at the toe rand. I want to salvage these shoes and protect new ones from premature death.
