Gašper Pintar: September 2014

http://pinticlimbs.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html

Cover photo by Luka Tambača. Thursday, September 25, 2014. Petzl Roctrip: the birth of a king line. A lot has been developed and people are strolling deeper in the woods to find new good looking blocks of granite, waiting to be cleaned and climbed. Yet sometimes a king line awaits right in front of us. Maybe it's by coincidence, maybe it's waiting for the one strong climber who will see the potential line and have the balls to do it. A crowd of observers and spotters gathered to watch the breathtaking as...

Gašper Pintar: July 2014

http://pinticlimbs.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html

Cover photo by Luka Tambača. Tuesday, July 29, 2014. A door in Nick and Nicole's house. they travelled for 20 years before settling down. The last two weeks I have been on a trip between Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Here's a few of my mental notes. Julien on the arete of Polymorphie, 10- at Plankenstein. Me on the same climb. Definitely gets five stars! I like Germany in general. It's all clean and efficient and surprisingly, the food in Frankenjura is cheaper than in Slovenia. It was great to go ch...

Gašper Pintar: August 2015

http://pinticlimbs.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html

Cover photo by Luka Tambača. Saturday, August 1, 2015. As we exited the funicular building on Punta Helbronner I let the thin air hit my lungs. My backpack felt heavier still and I felt a bit dizzy after getting up early. Seeing this after some walk, it all starts making sense. Grand Capucin is the tallest peak in the picture. The mist rolls in, not sure if it's a good sign. The Trident du Tacul - great cracks in an incredible setting! Dave seconding a nice dihedral pitch. Big shoutout and thanks to the ...

Gašper Pintar: July 2015

http://pinticlimbs.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html

Cover photo by Luka Tambača. Sunday, July 19, 2015. Life really gets simple when the sole question is what rock to climb. Even more so when the goal is just to go out and be challenged. Numbers and grades have burdened my climbing character enough earlier. This is not a cliche statement about enjoying climbing over chasing grades,. I'm just psyched on how natural it has become to scale rock. Kruder on the first, bouldery 8a pitch. 7.45 AM, it felt unreal to be crimping that early. Cruxy in the start of t...

Gašper Pintar: January 2015

http://pinticlimbs.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html

Cover photo by Luka Tambača. Sunday, January 18, 2015. The blog is experiencing its usual winter-exam-period downtime and so am I, gutted to be inside studying with so many nice days offering great climbing everywhere. But hopefully things will work out and I'll be back to the rock in a few weeks. I'm a daydreamer type of guy so I suspect it may prove too big to handle, but even ticking some of them would be great. Thanks to anyone stopping by and ever taking a glance at it. As obsessive as this must sou...

Gašper Pintar: December 2014

http://pinticlimbs.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html

Cover photo by Luka Tambača. Thursday, December 18, 2014. It's only rock, right? Each new grade breakthrough is only good to remind you of how it's all relative, depending on your perception. Impossible can go to feeling incredibly doable in a matter of tries, changing weather, changing attitude. Entering the crux in Popolni mrk. 10 tries into working it, its becoming a mind battle, and I like it like that. It's going to taste that sweeter afterwards :). I enjoyed hosting Felix and Maria last week. F...

Gašper Pintar: March 2015

http://pinticlimbs.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html

Cover photo by Luka Tambača. Monday, March 9, 2015. Bouldering in the west. The short weekend trip to the west of the country was one of the best spontaneous ideas lately. Two days of sampling the bouldering in this region. The scene is small but lively, the locals active and enthusiastic. Big thanks to Karin and Tjaša for being our guides and letting us stay at their place :). Also shoutout to fellow blogger Ajdbloc. Polog warm up slab. Bor on El Paso (7B? Tjaša on the small-but-tricky Sitko Nalič :).

Gašper Pintar: June 2015

http://pinticlimbs.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html

Cover photo by Luka Tambača. Tuesday, June 2, 2015. Me and Dave kicked off the preparations for our upcoming Yosemite trip. Essentially this will involve lots of planning, tactics, logistics. But the most important is for me to become familiar with the different climbing style that is characteristic of Yosemite. The crag from the distance - there's sectors on top of each other. I understand now that being able to mix your climbing up and try different things every now and then is such a precious thing&#4...
