We Need to Rethink World Cup Competitions. Seriously.
Where is trad climbing in World Cups? Where are the alpine and mountaineering aspects? Comp formats need to change, obviously.
Climb too much? You mean not enough! (Why we’re always “injured”)
Climbers are always “injured,” and we endure these perpetually compromised states with the grace of a World Cup soccer player writhing around on the ground like he was just stabbed in the groin with a fork. Fingers, elbows, shoulders, knees, ankles, skin, balls and brains—you can be sure that, among climbers, at least one of these things is either sore, torn or simply just not working.
