There’s a trend for lazy journalists to fill print space with ill informed and clichéd observations, and to somehow make this look respectable by putting them in a numbered list… […]
Having dropped into the White House to see the President, it only seemed appropriate to drop by the Pink House to pay our respects to The King. There’s free entry […]
Faced with a 700 mile drive to the next climbing area we decided to break the journey in Nashville. A fun half day of quality music and beer made it […]
There’s quite a concentration of crags around Chattanooga, and we only have time to sample one of them, so we chose Foster Falls following recommendations from a bunch of Tennessee […]

What a difference a day makes – or a day plus a couple of hundred miles. Heading over to the New River Gorge in West Virginia the sun is out, […]
We’ve arrived on the East Coast, but so has Hurricane Joaquin. Luckily the really windy bit is camped out over the Bahamas, but it is still managing to scoop up […]
