    Climb Safe

    Fall Factors Explained
    Everything you need to know about falling, but were afraid to ask. Falling is the opposite of climbing, which can explain why we apply every membrane between our ears toward getting up the rock, but dedicate precious little to hurtling down it.

    Features

    John Long: Slaying Giants
    Cast by chance into the frenzy of a dramatic Yosemite rescue, the author confronts his youthful fears head-on.
    Beyond the Fringe
    Looking for scenic beauty, great weather and even better rock?

    John Bachar by Doug Robinson
    Climbing pioneer Doug Robinson reflects on the death of John Bachar
    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.
    Mammut Mana Harness Review
    I liken Mammut’s new lightweight Mana harness to a reverse G-string—in front, you’ll notice the provocative and stringy cordage used for the belay and leg loops, while the back is all business: a functional and supportive swami belt that is wider than most.

    Medical Advice

    Leg: Fracture
    I broke my leg bouldering and had a titanium rod installed. I have heard mixed reports about leaving the rod in, one problem being irritation by the screws. Can the rod increase the chance of the leg breaking in the same place under similar circumstances, since the bone cannot “weld” itself together on the inside?

    Training Tips

    Clever Levers
    For any gymnast worth his weight in spandex onesies, the front lever is as basic as a layback. For climbers, on the other hand, the front lever is a royally difficult pose that very few of us could do off the couch.

    Gear Advice

    Should I Become a Climbing Guide?
    One of my favorite guiding memories is the time I got the call to take a pot-bellied and bald(ing) hard rocker and his band (with bodyguards) out for a day of exercise on the stone.
