Leave Wild Wild

Today was a home training day in my gym and on my climbing wall. It was get pumped training day, which is good, because I got pumped super quickly and was unable to push my minutes on the wall up as I had hoped. Just a gentle reminder that progress is not a linear process.




In other news, as the world grapples with climate change (extreme heat and forest fires in the Northern Hemisphere, damaging floods in Asia, dams in China bursting from intense rain, droughts and water shortages in the Middle East), a couple of guys want to bring skiing to a mountain that has never supported skiing in the past. Because, for sure, as we burn through our resources the best use we can make of our precious remaining wild country is to try to make snow in a warming climate using energy and water intensive practices.




Ben Lomond is a great place to go bush-walking and currently IS a year round bush-walking and rock climbing destination. Why not leave it that way?
