Yoga For Climbing

2009-09-10T11:45:00.000-07:00

There comes a time in every climbers days, when they come to a move, and realize their just not that flexible. Well Im here to help you avoid that. I started a Climbing specific yoga workout a week ago and I am super excited to already be feeling the difference. As a way to move and strengthen the body, yoga almost perfectly complements the demands we exact on our bodies as climbers; it's also a great recovery tool, when bouncing back from traumatic injury.

Anyways, here are the poses Ive been doing and hopefully you guys will be doing them soon to. Let me know if they help you all out too.

My New Custom Chalk Pot

2009-09-03T18:35:00.000-07:00

I recently found a company online called Krieg climbing who specializes in custom chalk bags. I called him with just an idea and not a good plan of what I wanted and I emailed him a picture of what I liked and he did an amazing job.

If you ever are in need of an affordable, hand-made and incredibly well made chalk bag or chalk pot I definitely recommend Sam Krieg.

Boone, North Carolina climbing trip

2009-09-02T16:42:00.000-07:00

Last week Chris and I took a road trip to Boone to climb. We had a great time, I have never seen such an amazing quality of rock. It felt so amazing as soon as you touched it. It was one of those places that just gets you pumped to climb no mater how good you are. If you ever have an oppurtunity to climb there, you HAVE TO go. I can promise that you won't be disappointed.

Climbing In Boone, NC

2009-08-17T20:54:00.000-07:00

Yesterday Chris and I made the trip to Boone, North Carolina. I had never been here but it is a super cool town that's full of energy, and has a great atmosphere. Since it was our first time here we stopped by the climbing shop to get a guide book, but unfortunately they don't exist. That's the only thing that has made it hard to climb because you don't know the grade of the problems when you find them. Although, you can walk anywhere and find some of the most amazing boulders you could imagine.

Chris and I made our way to Grandmother boulders today and it was amazing. Every boulder is packed full of problems. You could climb for an hour on one boulder and do a different problem every time. While we were climbing we met a couple local climbers named John and Michael who were kind enough to let us chill with them for a little while and they gave us the grand tour of Grandmother Mountain bouldering.

On the way to Grandmother Mountain you pass Grandfather Mountain and the elevation there is about 6000 feet and the views are mind blowing! At the base of Grandfather Mountain is a little raodside stand and the guy makes homemade applebutter, and jams. I bought the strawberry jam and some applebutter and it has become one of the best investments I've made, because bread toasted over the fire with applebutter made my evening even more incredible.

Homemade Granola Bars

2009-08-13T16:30:00.000-07:00

So a few friends and I are leaving on Sunday to climb for a week. We're going to Boone, NC and we may have to go to Tennessee to escape the rain if we need to. I'm so excited to go! As I was thinking about the trip the other day, I was trying to plan out things to take with me.

I have always like granola bars and stuff, but the downfall to them is they really aren't healthy. I found a recipe to make my own and here's the link. But used all the organic and fresh stuff I could find. The recipe was rather easy, and cheap I think. The stuff I bought was about 25 dollars, but that will make about 2-3 batches and keep in mind that 1 batch makes about 14 good size bars. Plus it's kinda cool to make your own stuff I think. Here's a picture of them cooling before I cut them. You should try them yourself it's super easy and you can put whatever you want in them. Enjoy, I know I will.

Custom Chalk Bags

2009-08-07T13:14:00.000-07:00

I recently had this idea for a chalk bag so I began searching for someone to make it for me. I found several companies online that make them, but when I saw the work of Sam Krieg on his website I was blown away! Honestly, there probably isn't a bag he couldn't make so of course I ordered mine. I am super stoked to get my bag and I will definitely put up some pictures when I get it.

I found this video of how Sam Krieg makes the bags, it's really cool. Click here to go to Sam Krieg's website.

Retire the ole Climbing Rope, Make a Rope Rug

2009-08-05T19:02:00.000-07:00

So when its time to retire the ole climbing rope, what do you do?? Throw it in the trash? NO! Do u Give it away, probably not. What about cutting it into pieces and using it for whatever? Nah. You make a Rope Rug out of it. Do you send it to Rope Rugs and have them make one for you? You could, but whats the fun in that. Make it a project and do it yourself. From what I researched, this is the best site to learn. It's called Summit Post-Rope Rug's It gives you step-by-step detailed instructions with pictures..Im gonna be making a rug here soon and putting up pictures..you all should do the same cause im stoked to see how they turn out.!
