In case you haven’t heard there are defective Omega Pacific Link Cams out there. Check your cams if you’ve got them.

When speed is safety and one tired misstep can have catastrophic results, it pays to be in shape. I like to mix it up between free weights, running, [...] The climbing bible of North Carolina describes PeeKaBoo as a one move wonder and without a doubt that one move lives up to the lore. That one move was also the scene of my first climbing scare which made the dangers of climbing ‘real’ instead of ‘potentials’. There really isn’t all that much to say about [...] I recently climbed Zoo View at Moore’s Wall, which is just north of Winston-Salem, NC. This climb is the definition of classic. |
