Beth Rodden on Gyms, Crags, and the Future of Climbing

Beth Rodden on Gyms, Crags, and the Future of Climbing

 I’ve had a spring full of travel this year. It hasn’t been like last year’s Font, Catalunya, and Norway-filled spring, but rather a spring full of clinics, shows, dealer visits, and other “work.” Along with getting out and seeing local crags and communities, I’ve also had the pleasure of frequenting some of the newest gyms in the country.

Jon Cardwell on the 4th Ascent of Bad Girls Club (5.14d/9a)

Jon Cardwell on the 4th Ascent of Bad Girls Club (5.14d/9a)

 Rifle over the years has become one of the most popular summer destinations in the Western United Sates. The two-mile long canyon is full of variety and a great community of climbers that gather there year after year. Many people are locals, from Carbondale, Glenwood Springs, Boulder, Vail, Grand Junction and, for the most part, make for a great experience. Aside from the people, the area is beautiful, full of lush green vegetation and trees split by a crystal clear stream.

Heather Robinson on Mon Pote Assis (5.14a; First Female Ascent)

 Around the new year, my fiancé, Chris, was writing a long list of his goals and turned to me  "What are your climbing goals?" "Just one," I replied.  "I want to climb 5.14."  For me, this would not just be an objective accomplished for the year but – if I could pull it off – a lifetime climbing goal.

Ethan Pringle On Jumbo Love (5.15b/9b)

Ethan Pringle On Jumbo Love (5.15b/9b)

 Ethan Pringle has been putting some serious effort into Jumbo Love recently. That's the 5.15b "king line" bolted by Randy Levitt and first climbed by Chris Sharma in 2008. Since Sharma's send, no one else has climbed the route, which tracks for 250 feet up the center of the severely overhanging 3rd tier of an area known as Mt. Clark, on the Nevada-California border. Pringle is no stranger to Mt. Clark or to Jumbo Love -- he worked the line with Sharma back in 2007. Now, he's back, and dedicated to sending one of the world's most epic sport climbs.
