The Great Red Roof
Here's a super short little diddy about a very cool feature in Red Rocks, NV. The Great Red Roof (5.13b?) climbs out a stunning crack through a perfectly horizontal roof, but barely has any jams, instead, it's mostly a giant sloping visor like feature, with a few sketchy cams (warning: explicit language).

Inside the Beautiful (And Precarious) World of Ice Climbing
Damn is it hot. Like, really hot. Arizona is always miserable, but it’s barely dipped below 110 in Phoenix lately. Much of the rest of the country is broiling in the 90s, and although Boston still has snow, it too is sweating in the sun. For those of you suffering through heat, perhaps photographer Ian MacLellan can offer a little relief.

The climb that left me frozen with fear
There are thousands of industrial chimneys in the Czech Republic, with many dating back to the late 19th Century - most are no longer used and a group of enthusiasts spend their weekends climbing the structures. Alastair Lawson joined them in Zelezny Brod, but soon regretted it. I am 40m (130ft) up a 120-year-old chimney in the north-east of the Czech Republic and I am having a minor panic attack. My legs feel like lead weights as I look down on the tiny figures on the ground below me.
