Eisprinz- Part Four

More eisprinz...if you haven't seen the previous videos, I highly recommend them. I've put links to the other videos below chapter 4.

This one speaks to a fall, injury and subsequent recover. It now makes sense why there was such a long break between videos being released. No climbing here, but still a nice little video.

Chapter 1 (the best of the series so far)

Chapter 2

Chapter 3

Klemen Premrl and Tim Emmett making the first ascents of Wolverine WI11

Some pretty gnarly ice. Narrated by Will Gadd.

Comment 2012/01/08- WI 11? Really? I think that may be a bit of a mistake or some sort of joke. Or maybe they meant M11?

And I'm Back...

Sorry for the long absence, I've found myself consumed with other projects, mostly related to food. Fermenting kimchi, smoking bacon, brewing beer, etc. While my palate has been satisfied, my waistline has grown. Even so, it's time to whip myself back into shape, both on the fitness and blogging front.

Expect a return to the normal posting schedule that I had last winter, approximately 3-4 videos a week, dependent on my ability to track them down.

I'm also going to try and post more on my personal training blog, mypainofdiscipline.blogspot.com

Enjoy the videos!

9 life lessons from climbing

I've struggled to find content recently. There are a lot of sport climbing and bouldering videos, but not a whole lot featuring alpine climbing or mountaineering. I'm guessing it has to do with the season. Anyway, in lieu of a video with climbing, check out this slightly humorous TED talk about life lessons learned from climbing. I think the language is too climbing specific for a non-climber to get past and really hear the actual message, but it's good for those of us who know the terminology.


 

Trailer for new K2 Film

And I'm back.
Looks like it's going to be more than your average mountaineering film. The trailer broaches subjects about we all think about when we go to the mountains. I hope that film delves deeper.

Climbing Vacation

Hi All, Sorry if I haven't been able to satiate your climbing video appetite recently. I was off on my own adventure up Mt. Rainier. I'll scour the internet and try to have some new videos posted this week.

The Mountain Runners

A trailer for a film about a historic race from sea level to the top of Mt Baker in the North Cascades that took place in 1911.

I'm not sure what the full length feature will be like. From this trailer it looks like it could be pretty awesome.

Steve House- Shattered

A thought provoking sort film featuring Steve House who suffered a nasty fall in 2010 and is trying to get back on the horse.

Polar Star Couloir

An understated video of a climb and ski descent of the Polar Star Couloir on Baffin Island.

Chris Sharma- Climbing Tips

Part 1 of 5
I'm surprised that his first tip wasn't "yell as loud as you can when doing a hard move."
