"Climbing Porn"

From more than a few set of lips I have heard the term "climbing porn" in reference to "all things good" in relation to climbing media. Put simply, if you are passionate about something, then you probably know how to satisfy a craving for that passion. Here is some climbing porn from the last month of climbing in the Southeast and Midwest.

Two things about this one. First, there was legendary celebrity turnout one cold day at Little Rock City; it was also one of the coldest days in recent memory. The list included Tyler and Jeff Landman, Jason Kehl, Abbey Smith, James Litz, and Dave Chancellor to name a few. Quite the possey, unfortunately there were few climbers of regular strength to witness the domination that day. Secondly, this picture is an example of how to warm up on really cold days if you get tired of jumping jacks or hiking. Climbing upside down is incredibly taxing, but a wonderfully fun challenge if you can manage to forget about trying to climb difficult climbs by standard opinion.

Tyler Landman's Typhoon at Horseshoe Canyon Ranch. Sadly an elimanate, but a spectacular climb. It saw the second, third, and fourth ascents from Jon Glassberg, Nate Draughn, and Jeremy Tyler Walton respectively.

Jason Powell obliterating the LRC boulders with only one collar bone.

Nate Draughn warming up like a real man in Fred's Cave, which is apparently at Horseshoe Canyon these days.

Jon G again on James Litz's Suck Creek testpiece: The Bosnian. This one is almost impossible unless you get the feet proper.

JTW on Reflections at LRC. Let it be known that he claims he will be able to do this v10 off the couch when he is 70. Maybe it will count as one of your ten problems for that leg of the Triple Crown in 2057.
