    Shoe Repair

    Does everyone notice how shoe quality has declined over the last 20 years? The last few years especially I have experienced lots of sole delaminations and am struggling to do a quality repair job. Shoe Goo has disappointed me on large scale repairs because it just doesn't bond well enough...

    Best Burlington area night-time adventures?

    White Rocks - Technical Climbing...

    This pertains to the cliff near Wallingford, VT. So, I've done five different routes up the main face of White Rocks. A few with some unroped low class 5 moves and always traverse out before the more interesting terrain. The other day I found an old sling where someone likely rapp'ed out...
