dammit. Ok we were just about to show you this long, kinda boring, packed with butt-shots video of bouldering in Verazze, Italy.

Those ex-hooker wannabe-dress shop owners in arizona found all this freak tweak limestone to play on, meanwhile we’re all rolling around on the floor waiting to be put out of our misery. Go, you people.

Ugh, motherfucker. We can’t get our new quiz: Which ATX bouldering area best embodies you, your hotness, and your relationship with SendAustin to embed properly. Dammit. Well, you should just click that link and give it a try. You will marvel at the accuracy. FUCKING MARVEL.  Coco helped us make it last night when our [...]
