Honestly not sure why only the first two lines show.  I think it may have to do with the wordpress theme set up for the home page.

Here’s a short video I put together on cleaning, prepping, trying, and finally sending a new problem called Abomination up in Archangel.  This boulder sits just off the trail at...

We’re not dead here at AKClimber, just busy with holidays, family, training, working on the guidebook, a new business venture, and planning a trip. It’s a bright new year filled with...

Two weeks ago, I was within an inch of reaching a dream, and now I’m 3500 miles away……. I’ll go back someday.  Till then this will haunt my dreams.  ...

The Alaska Bouldering Guidebook is Done!

Well done. Nice feeling getting it finished, I would think, you should send one to habrich for a review on here.

[andy_e]

Looks great! Good work.

[Sasquatch]

I would be interested in people's opinions.  I think we put together a pretty good guide, but when you get mired into the details, sometimes you can't see the big picture.  Once we get the guide back from the printer, I'll get in touch.

[r-man]

Nice one! Always good to finish a big project!

[andy_e]

Good stuff going for the portrait book format too. Do you get the landscape ones in the US and A?

[Sasquatch]

Not often.  At least not out west.  Seems like size really dictates part of that as well.  At 272 pages, landscape binding is tougher to make last.

Wishful Thinking
22 April 2013, 7:08 am

I remembered seeing Wishbone Hill from the road on the way to the crags up north; the dark cliffs of the bizarre formation rising from the center of the valley....

Always worth a crack though eh? Imagine if they were made of perfect sandstone?

[Sasquatch]

Only in our dreams up here.  No sandstone to be found.   Quality granite though

The highway is dry, so Bird creek, McHugh Creek and Pivot are all in good form at the moment.  No word on up north yet, although I’d imagine Wiener, Long...

Every year in March and April I start dreaming of bouldering outside, and start looking hopefully for the signs that indicate clear boulders and dry rock.  So strong is my...

The Lion Head #2
24 May 2013, 4:15 pm

Let’s start by saying that the Lion Head boulders are hard to get to. Hunter and I spent 90 minutes clearing nearly a half mile of overgrown trail, in the...

Well done. Nice feeling getting it finished, I would think, you should send one to habrich for a review on here.

+1

Actually I would not be the best person to review it but I am closer ... shipping costs would be cheaper than sending to the UK. Anyway, PM me and lets discuss. AndyR here in Vancouver might be a good choice. He is more of a boulderer than me and also might make it to Alaska to use the book ... he seems to constantly on spurious float plane trips up north for "work".

Have only just seen this - would be more than happy to.

Quick Conditions Update…

Weiner and Chickaloon are mosquito ridden, but both are good for climbing. Ptarmigan looks very snowy and the trail looks frozen or sloppy the majority of the way. If anyone...
