Crag Exposure: The Spot Gym!
posted by bronco
Overview
Imagine a world of perfectly steep free standing blocs with ideal landings, almost zero approach, and temps that hardly ever vary. Beautiful people dance about on Font, Hueco, and Granite type plastic awesomeness while some sort of trip-hop pulsates from the speakers above. This is a world I can get used to… › keep reading
Caption Contest Winner!

Congratulations Ian! You are the winner of our caption contest which means that the highly coveted Organic chalk bag will be coming your way. To all the Losers, don’t feel too bad. The results were highly subjective and reflect the whims and emotional instabilities of us P&C knuckleheads. But don’t worry, round two will be forthcoming.
FOR SALE: Used bag of granola.

How did you get started climbing?
Around the winter of my freshman year here my friends Max and Greg took me to the Spot. It was an instant attraction I suppose. I didn’t really get outside until this summer then I found out what it’s really all about. › keep reading

Adam Ondra
We watched Sharp End finally. It’s amazing. There’s a section with little tiny awkward Adam Ondra just pissing all over hard routes. The kid seriously crushes. Like. Seriously. I never thought about it really. › keep reading

B.A.S.E.

The leap.
Yesterday the P&C crew drove up highway six to climb at Wall of the 90’s in Clear Creek Canyon. We spent the afternoon climbing until Bronco noticed a person carrying a giant flag. They stuck in the ground and we all realized that they were going to B.A.S.E jump. We were thrilled. I had never seen anyone jump off a cliff before and it seemed like a pretty wild thing to witness.
We sat for quite some time waiting for them to hike to the top of the cliff Mission Wall. They got to the top and tossed some rocks to the bottom. The rocks never touched the side of the cliff despite how slabby it looked to us from across the river. We continued to wait while they watched the wind and unpacked her chute. The cliff is only around 300 feet high, which doesn’t seem like much to me but then I’m not a B.A.S.E expert in the least. › keep reading
Crag Exposure: Boulder Canyon
posted by bronco
Boulder Canyon, or BoCo, as it is affectionately called in and around the People’s Republic of Boulder, is a grand granite canyon that stretches from the west side of Boulder to Nederland. With hundreds upon hundreds of rock climbs in the bowles of the canyon, BoCo is probably one of the best local crags that boulderites and denverites have within their grasp.

Finally some horoscopes you can trust. P&C resident Swami accurately interprets your climbing future.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21)
Get your shit together before it gets too cold. Your project isn’t going to send itself no matter how many times you cry between the 3rd and 4th pieces of gear because you’re “run-out.” Be a (wo)Man. Stop being a bitch. Send before we start hearing the excuse that it’s too cold. Mars hates your whining.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)
You’re in a time where you need to relax. Take that cutie climbing that might not quite be very good at climbing above 5.7’s. It might be worth it if you’re in what we like to politely call a “drought.” I know, I know you’re getting all you need… the stars see right through your lies. Try improving your sex life instead of your unsavable 8a scorecard. › keep reading
