I've been out wandering a bit in search of new ice, but not much success. Normally this time of year I'm climbing a fair amount, but...

Had a wicked session in the gym today (well, yesterday as it's late at night now), and a decent one Wed. Plus I did some solid logging r...

The ice season is on around here, but the temps have been really warm. Only the relatively high and north-facing ice (Ranger Creek, Replican...

Yesterday I went for an all-time fugly walk in the woods. We went the wrong way repeatedly, mired ourselves deep in the debris of an overgro...

Every so often my home gym, the Vsion, has a bouldering comp. All the local climbers rejoice not just because the comp is fun, which it is, ...

Poland: Leave Calgary at 6:00 p.m., change planes a bunch,  (you know you've spent to much time in airports when you know which lounge t...

I'm in Poland, having loads of fun. More later, but some nice photos here. Managing to have a very good time and get some climbing in. O...

I've had a few emails asking what Spoga is--explained it a few posts ago, but it's what I laughingly call "speed yoga." It...

On Sunday the venerable (same age as me except for four days so I can use that term) Dr. Slawinski and I actually went ice climbing. Yeah! T...

Wed., October 15 (really--I somehow tweaked my dates, fixed now for recent entries...) Savage workout. Limbed some trees, bucked them up, mo...

First off, a quick rant about body tension. I often watch people with saggy-ass syndrome (poor body tension) do endless situps. This does NO...

I ship a lot of stuff back and forth to the US and around the world. I've just had the most incredible go-around with UPS, and still don...

Training It's that time of year again when the nights are well below freezing, the snow is sticking up high and the leaves are committin...

For the last 15 years I've flown at least 50 or 60 days a year in western North America, and watched the winds aloft for at least anothe...

I'm on Vancouver island with a paramotor. The obvious thing to do from here is fly it back over to the mainland, and then maybe on home ...

I don't normally write about my family on here, but it's pretty much unavoidable at the moment. As many readers may know, my dad is ...

Yesterday I learned a few things about being a sport climber in Canada. That's what I am right now in terms of climbing; I go clip bolts...

For the first time in 18 months I don't have any serious injuries, and I'm loving it! Yeah, I still hobble a little on my left knee,...

On Sunday we drove from Chelan, WA to the Nelson area. The sky was perfect the whole way, just insane! I so wanted to get into the air, but ...

The last two days of flying have been off the charts fun, just epic! The last day of the Chelan comp was fantastic--a 120K triangle with abs...
