Here is the Podcast for 8/30/06!.
At the trade show we had an event to gather sign-ups for ‘Athletes for the Arctic.‘ I am going to sign up today, and encourage everyone to do so! Patagonia has a video you can watch “Oceans As Wilderness”
In this podcast I talk about the OR show, Mari Gingery, Hueco Tanks Women’s Camp, John Backar and even a thread about me on SuperTopo. Of course, if you want to buy your own copy of the book (signed by me) by clicking here.
City of rocks activities included Spiderman!

I’m happy to announce that the Sardinia camp details are coming along! We have some new photos of the climbing in Sardinia thanks to Craig Luebben, one of our climbing guides for the trip. The woman climbing in a few of these pictures is his wife, Sylvia, who is from Genova, Italy! I have also received some brand new mini-topo maps of the climbing areas located near Cala Ganone, the town where we will be staying (Northeastern region of Sardinia). There are 24 climbing areas listed on this map and many more areas located throughout the island. We will be staying at a hotel called, Parco Blu, also located in Cala Ganone, where our breakfast and dinners will be provided. We will prepare our own pack lunches since most days we will be out climbing or playing on the go. This is going to be a fantastic trip with plenty of 
climbing, hiking, swimming and relaxation with people from all over the world! So far our sign-ups include one woman from Romania (currently living in Paris), one woman from Germany, a couple from Australia, and several Americans, including a few who attended our camps last year. After the editorial article comes out in Men’s Journal next month and the on-line advertising campaign by Climbing magazine, we should have a full group (12 clients and four guides).
Last week I went climbing in Rifle for the first time this season and I’m looking forward to many more trips this summer. Last weekend my mother and two sisters visiting for a special “girls” reunion and we had the chance to do some fun activities together. Yesterday on our way to the airport, we visited the Denver Museum of Natural History where there was a fascinating exhibit called “Body World”. There were actual human cadavers on display in many forms from various cross sections of the body preserved in a resin compound, to full bodies suspended action (skate boarder, dancer, skier, etc…), featuring the skeletal structure, muscles, organs and even a pregnant woman with a five month old fetus inside her womb! Though I studied many anatomy books in college, it was amazing to see and learn about the human body in this way.
