Honored to share the stage with a group of psyched gear innovators at the panel discussion.

Isn’t it a little odd that we refer to the same things as both double ropes and as half ropes?

These pictures demonstrate a third benefit of climbing with doubles/halves (in addition to redundancy against abrasion failure and the potential to do fewer rappels). Can you guess what it is? Swipe to #3 and #4 for big hints.

Also, these pictures were taken on back-to-back days from two different classic routes on the same chunk of rock. For a bonus point, can you name it?

Had such a good time working with and to provide a camping and climbing weekend at Devils Lake to a group of youth (and little kiddo) participants from the Chicagoland area! And it was cool to have join us on Sunday, and give one of their climbers a first-time outdoor experience!

An unexpected double bonus came from being able to supervise Patrick carrying out an instructor-belayed rappel in preparation for an upcoming SPI (climbing instructor) assessment and giving Mike his first rappelling opportunity!

Get yourself a Skillzboard, and you too can build a really good Anker!
