Rock trundling is the act of dislodging loose rocks from cliffs or climbing routes to clear them before they potentially present a problem in the future. Sometimes these rocks are at risk of falling from natural erosion and sometimes they present a potential hazard to future climbers who might grab onto them. Trundling should be left to those with plenty of experience and understanding of the potential hazards created by the act.

Corbet’s Couloir at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort has seen its fair share of brutal wipeouts, from yard sales to scorpions to face plants. Yet people still return year after year to huck themselves off the ledge and put their skiing/snowboarding skills to the test.

We’re not quite at the “planning next winter’s ski vacation” time of year yet, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get a head start.

Most climbing gyms have pretty strict rules against climbing without a rope. At my local gym for example, you can climb without a rope up to the first lead clip and no further.

The best thing about cheap gear is you can really mess around without having to worry too much about screwing it up. The Sickos crew knows that as much as anyone, so they sought out dirt cheap jet skis that they could really push to the limit.

And even if you do find one for that cheap, you’re probably putting your life in a certain amount of danger.

Unfortunately her ice axe didn’t catch at she was left doing an 80 foot sliding fall before she was able to self arrest.
