Longs Boulder #1 of Truckee, CA - Beyond the guidebook


This is ain't John Long's boulders. This is Longs Drugstore's boulders. Buy yourself some meth precursors and head out to the woods behind the store to enjoy some chossy granite.

None of these climbs are listed in Bouldering Lake Tahoe North/West Shore Edition. They will be posted to mountainproject.com soon.

Comparing top-level climbing movement


(Pro tip: Turn off the sound.)

I am obsessed with climbing movement, especially relative climbing movement. This video allows for direct comparison between 2 top sport climbers. Notice the difference in pacing and micro-adjustments on hand holds.

Update: Also look at the difference in flexibility and how that effects body position and movement.

This might be the raddest video ever made.
(I'm off to look for someone to yell at me in German while I train.)
