Remains of Sandy Irvine believed found on Everest after 100 years https://www.nationalgeographic.com/adventure/article/sandy-irvine-body-found-everest
The discovery, made by a National Geographic team 100 years after the mountaineer vanished with George Mallory, could add new clues to one of the great unsolved adventure mysteries of all time.
Alain Robert, known as the "French Spiderman," is a legendary figure in the world of urban climbing. Born on August 7, 1962, in Digoin, France, he is renowned for his daring, free solo ascents of some of the world's tallest skyscrapers and urban structures, all without the aid of ropes or safety harnesses. This extreme practice, while extraordinary, is also illegal in many instances, but that has never deterred Robert from pursuing his passion for climbing. #weird #spiderman #incredible #climbing https://activite-paranormale.net/news/read/19104/alain-robert-the-french-spiderman
Retour au Mont Aiguille
En 1492, Antoine de Ville se fait fabriquer 2 kilomètres d'échelles et devient le premier alpiniste de l'Histoire.
In 1492, Antoine de Ville had 2 kilometers of ladders made and became the first mountaineer in history.
Pour en savoir plus sur cette première ascension, Stéphane Gal, historien à l’Université Grenoble Alpes, a embarqué avec lui les habitants du village voisin de Chichilianne, pour une ascension exceptionnelle. 530 ans plus tard, l’étude a permis de reconstituer les tenues et équipements de l’époque, pour finalement retrouver l’itinéraire qu’Antoine De Ville aurait probablement emprunté dans la paroi. Une aventure humaine et scientifique, documentée par Ludovic Veltz dans son film Retour au mont Aiguille.
To find out more about this first ascent, Stéphane Gal, a historian at Grenoble Alpes University, took the inhabitants of the neighbouring village of Chichilianne with him on an exceptional ascent. 530 years later, the study has enabled us to reconstruct the clothing and equipment of the time, and finally to find the route that Antoine De Ville would probably have taken up the wall. A human and scientific adventure, documented by Ludovic Veltz in his film Retour au mont Aiguille.

many climbers experiencing pain at their pulleys may not have a pulley injury at all! There is actually a completely different injury that presents with many of the same symptoms. It’s called flexor tenosynovitis and as the name implies it involves the finger flexors that run underneath the pulleysSo what is finger flexor tenosynovitis? You might think it’s some sort of irritation of the tendon itself, but it’s actually inflammation of the sheath that surrounds it, caused by friction between the sheath and the pulleys when under heavy load.
A highly enlightening article. I think this is the answer to finger pain for most people who do climbing/bouldering. If it were a Pulley injury you'd notice it as an acute happening, even if its a minor tear you would notice it when it happen during a climb. While the Tenosynovitis sneaks up on you, gradually over weeks, you can't pinpoint where or when you started to feel the pain, it just appeared. Tenosynovitis tenderness/pain happen when you press on the area while a Pulley injury tend to give hurt all the time.
Another article on the topic: https://theclimbingdoctor.com/rock-climbing-finger-tenosynovitis/
A fix for the flexor tenosynovitis is to do easy tissue load, for example doing short active hang on a rounded (cushioned) pull-up bar (hangboarding with straight angled fingers put too much tension on the finger) with rounded finger grip over the bar. Keep the feet touching the ground in the beginning until tolerance has been built up, keep it short for 5-10sec only, multiple sets.

This Common Finger Pain is NOT a Pulley Injury (HOW TO FIX IT)
the first continuous ascent of one of the longest continuous rock climbs on earth: The ‘Great Wall of China’, a.k.a the ‘ #Gunks #Traverse’… 9,000 feet of lichen and choss
https://www.climbing.com/places/gunks-traverse-repeated/
Established by Dan Rosanstein and Ken Nichols in 1987, the Great Wall of China route is a masterpiece of esoterica which traverses the entire wall, its greatest crux may be jug rash, bugs, and dog walkers.

Sport climbing reaches new heights: Spectacular speed events attract young fans
Some reflections on hiking and music on the favourite blog of mine: The Melody of the Mountain
And the two pieces he mentions: Beethoven (or, if you prefer the Gould approach) and Bach.
Does anybody have knowledge about #openstreetmap data related to #climbing ? For example, this is a gym: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/56016849 and this is a cliff: https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/3718329581
I would like to know what properties could be attached to this kind of nodes, how is #osm modelling this kind of data... I know basically nothing about the OSM universe but I would love to play with it a bit.
