Hey everyone,
Just wanted to let you know that the Pro Tips series is no longer available.
For whatever reason the videos were taken off of youtube. If you didn't get to see them I am sorry they were great videos.
I did write brief notes on them so be sure to look through the May archives.

May 23, 2007 08:40 - How Important is Community
Last night I went in to the climbing gym for a rather quick climbing session.
It was during this session that I realized how much I love our climbing gym. You see the Tallahassee Rock Gym is definitely not the biggest climbing gym, the best climbing gym, we don't have air conditioning or heat, but what we do have is the best community I have seen.
I can't get over all of the people at our gym. In my opinion one of the most important aspects of a gym are the people who climb there. I have been to a gym before were the people are all assholes and let me tell that just doesn't make me want to climb one bit.
On the other hand if you have a gym that breeds a positive atmosphere of community your climbing experience can be much improve.
So what is great about Tallahassee Rock Gym we're family baby.

May 25, 2007 12:40 - Auer Free Soloed 'The Fish' 33 pitches
Austrian Hansjörg Auer has free-soloed the legendary route 'The Fish' on the South Face of the Marmolada in Italy, completing the 900-meter 5.12c in just under three hours.
The 33-pitch Via Attraverso il Pesce (aka The Fish) was established in 1981 and is famed for its serious, sustained free climbing on massive slabs of limestone.
Auer, 23, had climbed it in late 2004 with a partner, but did not free-climb all the pitches during that ascent.
On April 28 this spring, he rappelled in from the top to inspect the crux pitches, spending about five hours on the route. At 9 a.m. the next day he started climbing, wearing only his clothes, climbing shoes, chalk bag, and helmet; he did not bring a rope. Auer tagged the top at 11:55 a.m.
Pretty crazy if you ask me, but you can read a good interview here.
