1989. A snapshot by Seth Shaw from the Alaska Range. El Cap was free climbed the summer before by Todd Skinner and Pail Piana. Climbing gyms were a couple of years old, having originated in Seattle. Magazines, books and slide shows were how we shared the experience of being in the mountains. Technology was in the nascent stage. A @sony Walkman with AM /FM was state of the art. We allowed ourselves two cassettes and perfected the art of coaxing electrons out of AA batteries.

While climbing has grown in popularity - fueled by the advent of climbing gyms - the core values of trust, communication, support, inclusivity and respect still remain. Perhaps this is why climbing is gaining new adherents every day. Why not? It’s a fun way to spend time with family and friends.

To celebrate and share why we climb @ザ・ノースフェイス is now three years into #wallsaremeantforclimbing. Gyms around the planet are there for your enjoyment. Find one on the 24th of August. If you are an old timer - plug into the energy. If this is your first foray into the vertical - welcome to the community.
From birth to death we are in a never ending struggle with gravity. Might as well increase the difficulty and have fun in the process.

stegosaurusboy Thanks for being a constant inspiration @conrad_anker. What advice do you have concerning the transition between sport/ trad climbing to this kind of stuff? I’ve always been inspired by the mountaineering expeditions.

maybe.madelyn It changes us all, whether amateur or advanced. It’s teaching me every day. So happy to have found a supportive community promoting balance, problem solving, mental and physical health.

conrad_anker @stegosaurusboy • make plans, book a ticket, start driving and climb the mountain. Find an objective that you are comfortable with, one with a little bit of uncertainty and good views.

sailingwanderer Looking forward to heading to the gym this Saturday. Recently brought my 3.5 year old girl and she loves it! She was about 5’ up and said “I’m like spider man!”

connorpjack This is sick! I feel like everywhere I travel to now, the classic response is "you should have been here X years ago". Was there any of that sentiment back then?

conrad_anker @dave_molash • one was U2 “Rattle and Hum” (just out) and the other was a stylie mix tape courtesy of @drew_ford - he was the master of mix tapes in the 80s.
