World bouldering news....
December 24, 2007, 10:40:00 am
Just been thinking about this; how about a world bouldering section on the site?  Lets face it, magazines do not really address this very well i.e. I've just had a chat with Toni Lamprecht and he is working an awsome new line at the moment -V Hard-, and I will definitley post info a shots of this when done.  There is new shit happening at Albarracin, and has been for some time now thanks to Miguel and freinds (check out www.nodogma.com) not to mention a million other bits and bobs that no one gets to hear about.  I think its good to know about these things and aspire to traval and check these things out, and, lets face it, betwen the lot of us, we are pretty obsessive and like to be in the know, no?  I'll get us started when I have five minutes if any one is keen!

Can this not go into Bouldering>News?
Are magazine news sections defunct?  They tell you news from 2 months before :lol:

yeah, i am always interested in what people are climbing.... dont even need to know the people, its all good. If you could get a few different contributors, to a blogsite or something, that would be cool.

Id be happy to set something up, and if people want to email me with snippets, id post them up.

looks good, is it going to have all climbing or just bouldering?

where did you get the news about Evilution Direct?  i was talking to a nice guy from trukee (tahoe) a couple of weeks ago who said he did it.  i guess it must've been him, didn't realise it was the 3rd ascent!

Looks good, although it's probably worth quoting your sources of stuff is coming from other websites.

I think the blog is so-so.  I voted so-so.  The reason I voted so-so is petty:  I just cant stand the nu-verb, to send.

blog looks good, as Stubbs says quoting sources should be done, and perhaps a link to UKB wouldn't go a miss?

Also are you planning on posting in news section here every time its updated?  Would be a bit like UKC.

Ah yeah, hadn't thought that through, useful to spread the word since the site is new.
