50 years ago Joe started climbing at the Gunks. He took nearly 40 year off and just a few seasons ago got back into climbing. On this day at 74 years old, and after a bunch of hard work this year, he climbed High Exposure (5.6) for the first time.

Not too late to climb this season. Email Schools@ems.com today!

Meet your Guides! Cheers to 20 years, @dougmartl

Meet your Guides!

Cheers to 20 years, @dougmartland! 🎉 Doug started at EMS in the fall of 2001 while in law school. “Around the same time I started climbing, often with other store employees as the store started to develop a real climbing culture, with regular trips to local crags like Quincy Quarries, Rattlesnake Rocks, and Auburn Ice Canyon. Over the next few years I really fell in love with climbing, taking my first AMGA class in 2007 and transferring over to the Climbing School in 2008. Since then I’ve guided for the school on a part-time basis, primarily in the Greater Boston area.” Doug is an AMGA Single Pitch Instructor, an AMGA Apprentice Rock and Alpine Guide, and a Wilderness EMT, as well as a writer for the #goEast blog. Bravo, Doug!

When lead climbing it is important to keep your systems neat and orderly. Seen here the leader is clipped in with a clove hitch [Orange Carabiner on the left] and is belaying the second climber up directly off the anchor [Green Device]. By tying in directly to the master point you avoid tethers and awkward belaying. Clean, simple, efficient.
