RunOut #49: The Diamond (And Crowds) Are in Style


Work from crag and the fact that no one can get to Europe means that covid is concentrating the crowds at the crags in a big way. Will Creeksgiving be more like Burning Man with a side of super-spreader?

After sobering up, we speak to Chris Weidner, a climber and writer from Boulder, about “Gambler’s Fallacy” (5.13b), his and Bruce Miller’s new route on the Diamond of Long’s Peak, Colorado.

Finally, the great and powerful Corey Rich dishes up an amazing story about Fred Beckey, bees, and a set of nuts.
