The 10th Annual Flagstaff TRASH BASH will be happening on Wednesday, September 8, 2010, and you know it will be raining booty.

The trash cleanup starts with the raffle sign-up around 5 p.m. (after work) at the Flagstaff Mountain Summit. To get there, go about three miles up Flagstaff Road, take a right on Flagstaff Summit Road, and drive to the Flagstaff Summit parking lot. Look for “The Stone Shelter” to the west of the lot.

 Nalle Hukkataival on Rough Gem
Video by ZeroSkillz - Nalle Hukkataival has been busy in Norway. The Finnish climber recently returned from a long trip to Norway, during which he climbed and established many hard boulder problems. He spent most of his time in Harbak, Vingsand, and the Lofoten Islands. Since the weather in Lofoten was unstable, raining much of the time, Hukkataival and his crew climbed a lot at night—and in northern Norway, the sun doesn't set during the summer. He filmed many of his ascents from these areas, including this clip of Rough Gem (V13).
 Stanley-Burgner (III 5.9+, six pitches)
First climbed in 1968 by Ron Burgner and Fred Stanley — all free save two points of piton aid for Burgner (leading) — this south-facing, 600-foot route sits squarely inside the Stuart Range in Washington’s Central Cascades. Fred Beckey named the area between Icicle Creek and Ingalls Creek “Cashmere Crags,” and it has some of the range’s most classic alpinerock routes, only three hours from Seattle. Beckey’s 1962 ascent of Prusik Peak’s South Face (5.9) had impressed Stanley.
 10 Things... You Didn't Know About Granite
Granite. Climbers love it, even as it tears their flesh, steals their gear, and makes them feel oh-so-small. You know how granite feels under your hands and feet, how it smells, and the way it turns to gold in the last light of day, but here are a few things you probably didn't know.
 Sarah Jane Alexander - Reader Blog 13
8/18/10 - I am the dot. Though barely visible, I am expanding. Expanding my worldly experiences first through my mind. I prayed to become the dot, though I didn't know it exactly. I just told the universe I was ready to make money by doing things I enjoy. One day my friend Jayne called me and said, "What are you doing this weekend?" "Sounds like you have an idea." "How would you like to be in a Toyota 4Runner photo shoot? They need a male and female rock climber."
