Found the bouldering wall at Olympic Stadium in Phnom Penh yesterday! The mats are gone and some of the holds are loose, but still climbable. Now all I need is a spotter. My weakening tendons are thankful to whoever installed it.

Try to ignore the cluelessly racist title and editing and focus on the badassery of this ten-year-old girl. Man, she’s badass.

"I am increasingly concerned that climbing has become an extractive industry with companies and individual entrepreneurs focused on mining the “outdoor space” mostly in a figurative sense, with negative consequences down the road primarily for the environment. While I agree that climbing is not as blatantly destructive as say ATV riding or building a new ski lift, the shift towards a consumerist approach to the sport is a defining feature of the past decade. I am especially struck by the lack of concern expressed by climbers about this trend. As Brady points out, there was once a strong undercurrent of resistance to societal and economic norms in the earlier vision of the sport. Now climbers enthusiastically accept marketing and a entrepreneurial approach to the sport, proving that capital can co-opt and colonize just about anything that has perceived value."

Makes me think I shouldn’t get so discouraged after falling on a fourth or fifth try on a climb.
