Don’t Project Your Mountain Town Envy Onto Your Kids
  “The easiest way to turn your kids into geniuses by the time they’re seven is to front load huge amounts of experience, including dangerous experience.” This is the advice of the late John Taylor Gatto, the writer and educator who is perhaps best known for his passionate polemics against compulsory schooling. For Gatto, one of the ominous signs of  “well-schooled...

The Best Beginner Multi-Pitch Trad Crags in North Wales Article
Looking to make the step up to multi-pitch routes? British Mountain Guide Polly Harmer recommends her top beginner spots in North Wales. If you've been trad climbing on your local crags and you're starting to plan a bigger multi-pitch trip, then North Wales is a great place to start. This relatively compact area offers loads of multi pitch crags with...
Bridging Two Worlds: The Unlikely Connection Between Horses and Climbing
These days articles are often oriented around click bait, with publishers and media outlets frequently focussing on 'top five' this and 'top ten' that. As a result of this we thought we'd buck the trend and do something completely different, by taking a theme that has absolute no relevance to anyone and rolling with it. Unfortunately one issue with this...

Dartmoor Bouldering - Gems in a Granite Setting Destination Guide
Grandly named 'Devonia's Alps' by celebrated author William Crossing, Dartmoor is formed by the largest mass of granite in Britain, is very peaty and has a lot of bogs. Of more interest for us, however, is that over the last 30 years it has matured from being a relative backwater frequented mostly by tough-skinned locals into an outstanding bouldering destination,...
Is the Rise in California Ski Accidents Linked to Weed Gummies and GoPros?
  According to a report by the Los Angeles Times and subsequent news sources, California ski accidents are up nearly 50 percent over the last two years, statistics that news reports have attributed to a rise in GoPro use, selfie stops, and “THC-laced gummies.” That’s quite the cocktail, and one interviewee mentioned that chairlifts often “smell like skunks when they should...

Top 10 Borrowdale Routes at VS and Under Article
Borrowdale is the perfect place to develop your trad climbing skills. It's a valley with a long and storied climbing history where many have honed their practice over the years. The volcanic rhyolite here is one of my favourite rock types to climb on. It is full of features and friction (apart from the odd spot where it has worn...

The Six Classic North Faces Of The Alps Article
Luke Davies shares tips and tactics for climbing the six classic north faces of the European Alpswith some history to boot... In the 1930s, Alpinism had already been around for over a century and the list of unclimbed faces in the Alps was becoming shorter and shorter. Top Alpinists of the time from Austria and Germany such as Heckmair and...
Classic Winter - East Ridge of Beinn a' Chaorainn
There's a lot to be said for winter climbing - we wouldn't put ourselves through it for nothing. Yet it does seem a perverse, self-punishing sort of activity. I often wonder about the way the axe-wielding brigade so willingly seek out the coldest, shadiest crannies to suffer in. Yes of course, that's where the conditions are. But how often have...
Nevada Offers Travelers $5,000 to Hike the Pacific Crest Trail
  When Jeff Potter arrived in Carson City, Nevada near the end of the ’90s, he noted an absence: His new home was ringed by low-slung mountains at the eastern edge of the towering Sierra Nevada and its sweeping Lake Tahoe, but there was no real way to get to them without a car.   A California native drawn toward Tahoe for...

The Best of Peak Limestone Sport Climbing (6a – 7a) Destination Guide
It has been said that the Peak District is a difficult place to start sport climbing. The UK as a whole is not endowed with a huge number of high-quality, easy sport routes and hearing the words 'Peak limestone' certainly doesn't bring to mind climbing on tufa-ridden orange rock in the sun. Nonetheless, there's enough to go at for some...
Inside the Battle Over School Fitness Testing
  Last spring, among the usual elementary school reminders about theme weeks and illicit peanut butter snacks (WE ARE A NUT FREE CAMPUS!!) an email popped up that gave me pause. My kindergartner would be weighed in school, it said, and I could click on a link to opt her out.   It gave me the ick. I’d paid attention to young women...
Anna Wells on the Winter Munro Round
On 13th March, Inverness based climber Anna Wells became the fourth person (and first woman) to complete a Munro round in winter, equalling the previous record of 83 days set by mountain guide and accomplished mountaineer, Martin Moran. Anna climbed all 282 Scottish 3000-foot peaks in a single astronomical winter season through a flexible approach that played to her strengths....
