    Climb Safe

    How to Belay Part 2
    In 1980 my college roommate, Mark Herndon, fell 100 feet on a two-pitch route. I was belaying from a stance at the end of the first pitch, cooling my feet, shoes off. Mark had just cruised the second-pitch crux, a near-holdless paddle up granite glass, and was nearing the end of a 50-foot runout above the route’s only lead bolt when he slipped.

    John Long: Guilty Pleasures
    Lynn Hill and I spent the winter of 1981 in Las Vegas, climbing daily at Red Rocks and plowing through nights at dead-end jobs. After roughly 10 seasons of climbing 300 days a year, my learning curve had flattened and I found myself singing the same old song.

    After years of stagnation, Ice and Mixed climbing take an evolutionary leap forward on Helmcken Falls.

    TNB: American Dirtbag
    Where are all the dirtbags? I'm not talking about these imposter dirtbags, the new-age lurkers taking up all the parking spots at Camp 4, Indian Creek and Miguel's Pizza with their pimped-out, Direct TV-receiving Sprinter vans that look like college dorm rooms on 26s.

    Medical Advice

    Knee: ACL Reconstruction
    I am 16 weeks out from an ACL reconstruction and meniscus repair. I hurt my knee in March 2009 and had surgery in August. While I have managed to be patient, there are times when I get discouraged.

    Training Tips

    Beating the Lactic Acid Pump
    After lowering off a very pumpy climb, can I speed my recovery by running or doing pushups? I heard that light aerobic exercise immediately following a climb helps flush lactic acid out of the forearms by pumping blood through the body.

    Gear Advice

    Are Adjustable Leg Loops Useful?
    Are adjustable leg loops actually useful? I rock climb, and ice climb some, and need a new harness. I'd rather have a less expensive and lighter harness with non-adjustable leg loops, but I've heard that you need adjustable loops to accommodate winter pants. Really?
