Hello Spring, is that you?

Wow, happy Spring every­one! April already? I can’t believe it.

This win­ter I worked on so many side projects, I barely had time to write. Nonethe­less, I’ve been work­ing on some very fun things!

Ouray Ice Festival 2011 Videos

Just posted up some videos from the Ouray Ice Fes­ti­val! Both were cut with iMove ’11 as an excuse to play with it. Pretty cool app. Though Win­dows Live Move Maker has many com­pet­i­tive fea­tures, the trailer tem­plates are so cool. Here’s a quick trailer I made from our footage:

Clove, Munter, Clove

Just fin­ished post­ing KAF Adven­tures’ lat­est tech tip on how to tie a clove and a munter off a biner.

This tech­nique is very use­ful for multi-pitching in the alpine envi­ron­ment where you may be belay­ing and/or attach­ing your sec­onds to the anchor. Have that nailed? Try con­vert­ing from a munter to a clove — one of my favorite tricks!

Have other ideas for tech tips? Let us know!

Rime Ice

Check out this vid I helped cre­ate for KAF Adven­tures. Our team was turned back from Mount Rainier’s sum­mit due to 60 mph winds. Jason took the oppor­tu­nity to talk about Rime Ice and how it’s formed. The audio is obnox­ious, but so was the wind. We wanted to keep the audio in there so you could get the effect of what it was like. We will be post­ing more of these type of videos in the future. Enjoy!
