Microwaved scrambled eggs. 90 seconds cooking time! Just two eggs, some milk, parsley and shallot, salt and pepper.

mystical mountain morning
with darkness and light
strength and weakness
strung out on the cliff
keeps secrets
in caverns, cracks,
loose rock threatens
- stay -
go
become your truth

An abstract purple mountain with symbolic rivers, a moon/sun in the background, a pinkish sky with darkness, as well as yellow and white light. Concept art related to the novel, Staerstone, by HK Stubbs, coming in 2026. I set out to draw a fantasy mountain and ended up thinking about how when I go into the mountains, it’s an honest experience. What you can and can’t do is right there, laid out clearly. Which is pretty cool. But the mountain keeps its secrets, if it wants to. And some things you don’t want to know… like how heavy that teetering rock is. How hard it would fall. Sometimes the mountain is so full of water, the rock seeps for weeks. Imagine. The flow of water within rock fascinates me.

Mexican with vegan sour cream and vegan cheese. So good! How to make them? Not entirely sure, involves miso and nutritional yeast and other things. Like cashews and potatoes. #climberfood #healthy #yum
Corn chips, beans, salsa, guacamole, rice, chilli paste, corn ribs, and vegan cheese and sour cream.

Loving the women’s IFSC semifinal in Keqiao! Great climbing. Nice hard boulders!

Crimpy Jug's first recipe: The Cheesy Mushroom Open Melt. With climbers in mind, we've made it nutritious, delicious, pretty easy to prepare, and flexible. This isn't the dirtbag version. Nor is it rocket science. It's a tasty treat to keep you sendin' #CMOM #sendergy #climberfood

Two climbers crashing, or a rat on a trapeze?

Our latest investigation: Big Climber, Little Climber.

Not advice, more like a discussion, really.

New bite-size article!

"Something we love about CRIMPY JUG is that people laugh when they hear our name. We are very into self-love, positive talk, and want to put smiles on faces. That's one of the things we love about climbing. It makes us happy."

*But what is a 'crimpy jug'?* #crimpyjug

Playing around with cover designs for the novel, Staerstone, using Procreate. It's fun to be making art again, even if this isn't anything like the actual cover. I would like constructive feedback. The climber needs work, for sure. Her legs!

Captivated by the colours, shape and textures of these holds, we asked @barnholdsclimbing.bsky.social to share their story.

Read about it here.
