Even though I have one of the best climbing gyms in the country a five-minute bike ride from my house, a home training system is important given my busy lifestyle….
I was recently asked to evaluate the Training Mask, along with other altitude training devices and realized that, while I’ve been playing with breathing exercises for most of my life, I’ve…
“We would never publish it, because then our competition would have it.” I wasn’t shocked when I heard this the other day. It made sense but, for some reason, I’d…
Looks like I’m going to have to migrate the site to another platform, or something, but in the mean time I’ll keep posting and maybe I’ll figure out what all…
Second test post, with a nice climbing vid. Spent last weekend in Josh, where I learned to climb in the 80s. The changes were not minor. “This is an entire…
Sorry for the infrequent and lack of depth in posts lately. I’ve been losing a hacking war, mainly because I haven’t had time to deal with it. But I may…
I’ve been waiting more than 20 years for this interview. Ever since David “Belt” Potter (aka The Reverend Speefnarkle) stopped reading climbing magazines until they honored his “Where’s the John…
This is the recovery week on the BODathon schedule and I’m pretty happy to be getting less sore. Training’s going well, perhaps very well, but without a full stock of blood…

Let’s get back to some Psyche, starting with CT Fletcher. This interview, from Bodybuilding.com, couldn’t be more motivating. Fletcher is a badass. His web site has gotten a little over-the-top…
A wiser fella than myself once said… Sorry for the long layoff. The bar got me pretty good this time but, as usual, life’s a series of strikes and gutters. Dude…
“The duress. The duress is what makes you live.” I have little use for serious people, and like things that challenge you to make sense out of them, so I…
My buddy Jack famously said “I can’t die. It would ruin my image” and, while he’s one of the primary inspirations in my life, I have a different take. I…
“Happy bone marrow birthday to you! Don’t let them forget your cake.” – my nurse, this morning I’ve just been through something called “high-dose chemo”. Today I’ll receive the stem cells…
To paraphrase Monty Python: that was something completely different. Good riddance 2014. You taught me a lot but I’m ready to move on. No offense, but 2015 is going to…
