Jake Slaney Interview
Jake Slaney working. | If you climbed in Alabama in the 1990's..strike that. If you climbed on the East Coast in the 1990's then you have more than once heard the name of Jake Slaney. Pretty much any time you went to a crag and looked over towards the steep and no often done routes, you caught a glimpse of a tall and young lad pulling down on really hard stuff or just doing multiple laps on 5.12's. From Little River to the New River and all parts in between, Jake was a force to be reckoned with as he floating through tilted sandstone in search of the next high digit send. |

John Bachar Interview

When thinking of the greatest names in climbing there are a few that float to the top. Forged in the old school tradition, John Bachar is one of the original Yosemite hardman. HIs list of accomplishments and first ascents would be longer than both of his cabled arms. From hard multi-pitch solo's, heady ground up first ascent leads, high ball hard bouldering, and way hard old school bolted lines (think 40 feet plus between buttonheads). Round that off with John's climbing shoe design (Acopa shoes) and his ability to pick up a saxophone and wail on some bluesy tunes. John is right there where he has always been. On the edge.

Note: Special thanks to Rob Robinson for helping to set up the interview with John Bachar.
