Your scariest wave: Pipe. It’s a place that deserves all the respect. I never felt comfortable out there and most likely never will. Mavericks is also one that scares me, but I want to have a go at it soon.

“We are sick of going to funerals,” said John Walsh, a lifelong Tahoe local and former ski racer, lamenting the steady stream of Tahoe based athletes and adventurers (including his nephew) who died in recent years while pushing the envelope in dangerous sports.

A black Land Rover seemed to glide up the dirt road. We were pulling ropes out of cars and packing lunches; in the mid-1990s my climbing students were jazzed to be at Wamello Dome, a little-known destination of superb granite up an obscure logging road halfway between Yosemite and Fresno.

✨Have you picked up our Fall Issue yet? ✨ 🆓 We believe in the healing power of nature, and thanks to our partners, this issue is packed with outdoor inspiration — available for free! 📔 Our cover story explores the rich history of the south face of Yosemite’s Half Dome. This iconic wall has shaped climbing history with dramatic accidents, daring rescues, and legendary climbs by figures like Warren Harding, Galen Rowell, Steve Bosque, Mike Corbett, and John Middendorf. 📸 Cover photo of Tobias Wolf and Oliver Schmidt celebrating with a high five after the first free ascent of Karma on the south face of Half Dome. Photo by Tobias Wolf via time-lapse. 🧗 Also in this issue, Doug Robinson, known as the “Father of Clean Climbing,” returns with part two of his clean climbing manifesto. His revolutionary ideas, first introduced in the 1972 Chouinard catalog, challenge climbers to reflect on their impact on nature. 📜Building on this theme of responsible climbing, we also highlight the Yosemite Climbing Associations Climber’s Credo, a grassroots agreement developed to address the proposed nationwide fixed anchor prohibition in Wilderness areas. This initiative promotes ethical climbing practices and aims to influence future regulations to preserve access. 🌲 Other stories include the Inyo Mountain Wilderness, solo bikepacking in the Lost Sierra, the indigenous-led effort to restore and paddle the Klamath River, climbing Mexico’s volcanoes, and the return of great white sharks along California’s coast. 🏡 Love our content?

We caught up with Allyson Gunsallus to talk about her project Hand Holds — an interview series to help climbers understand the transition to parenting and parenthood. 🧗‍♂️ Though the series uses climbing as a lens, it is meant to be useful for all athletes and people transitioning into their new role as a parent. 🧑‍🧒 Click the link 🔗 in our bio to watch the full interview with @yosguns. 🎬
