Great read regarding BASE jumping and the accident involving Potter and Hunt.

Dean Potter jumped. Graham Hunt followed. Potter’s longtime girlfriend snapped photographs. Then came confusion, hope and despair.

Sad day to say the least!

It's hard to imagine a world without Dean Potter. A larger-than-life character, Dean has inspired countless people to pursue their passions and dreams and will continue to do so. Dean lived to fly and last night in Yosemite he - and BASE partner Graham Hunt - went out with their wings on. (Read: http://bit.ly/1JrvAxR)

On Earth Day, and every day for that matter, we could sure use more people like John around!

To all the PA locals (or anyone else who loves diabase!), an idea was launched to create an informational page for Haycock Mountain. Its in the baby steps now, but with any luck it will get off the ground.

The Haycock Bouldering Coalition is an organization dedicated to the preservation of access to Haycock Mountain along with the charter of educating the local bouldering community with regards to the proper preservation of the climbing lands.

As someone who still uses a Cordless pad from time to time, seeing Pusher/Revolution close shop was a bummer. Thankfully the great folks at ORGANIC Climbing will be keeping some of those stellar innovations alive! Long live the Spot!

After sadly seeing our longtime friends at Revolution/Pusher close their doors late last year, We are honored to carry on the legacy of the innovative Pusher Sack and Spot pads into the ORGANIC line. There are recent copies of the innovative Sack (an awesome crag pack x hybrid padx rope bag) but it lacks the quality and heart of the Pusher original pictured below. Because we feel it's the right and honest thing to do when you love another companies ideas we worked with our friend Clark the visionary behind the sack (and recent versions of the Spot from it's original form) to Purchase the rights and patterns to these great products. In our opinion stealing/copying others ideas and visions is not cool there is way to much of this going on in our industry and it will slow the forward innovation of gear. Keep an eye out for these awesome Crag pack pad hybrids this summer with some small ORGANIC tweaks : )

Small victory for climbing access in Pennsylvania! The PA Game Commission has removed the State Game Land closure proposal from this weeks agenda. No word on when its being pushed back to, but hopefully this buys enough time to come up with a more measured approached to access.

For our Pennsylvania friends, the State is looking into the possibility of limiting access to state game lands during hunting seasons. Climbing access could be seriously impacted by this ban. If you have a second, voice your opinion in this poll.

Pa. Game Commission is looking to ban hikers from game lands during hunting seasons, and require them to get permits.
