Climbing Tips, Tricks And Gear
Sheep
I have been a fisherman all my life. Have worked as a professional fisheries biologist for 30-some years now. I have spent a lot of time on the water, and an awful lot of time observing anglers. I have come to a conclusion: By far, most anglers are sheep! What do I mean by that? …

Nadal on Gauff’s Rising Star
The Spaniard predicts big things for Coco Gauff, but says she should take her time.
Rafael Nadal knows a thing or two about having success at a young age. He’s the last teenager to win a men’s singles Grand Slam title, after all. The Spaniard sees great things in 15-year-old Coco Gauff, and told reporters his feelings on the American sensation after his victory over John Millman on Tuesday night in New York City.
I saw her a couple of days playing Wimbledon. I think she is very strong to be — she's 15? “She's tall and she has a lot of power,” Nadal said. “I think she has a great intensity playing. Let's see. Of course, looks like she has an amazing future in front. I really wish her all the very best.”
Gauff has only played three tour-level events, counting the 2019 US Open, but already brands are aligning with the rising star. New Balance, Head, Barilla Pasta—with Roger Federer’s Team 8 Agency backing her, more are surely to come.
Nadal says that it is still too early to tell what type of professional career she has. She should take her time, says the 18-time major champion.
“Is tough to put lot of pressure on her now or talk too much about her now,” he said. “Even if she's doing amazing things, she is very young.
“In my opinion, she needs to internalize the things step by step. If not, is easy to lose a little bit the perspective. I really hope that she has the right people around, and she will become a big star of this sport for sure.”
Busch Beer Launches the Big Buck Hunter Permit Benefiting Wildlife Conservation
Busch is doing its part to promote hunting protect our wildlife. As hunting participation continues its steady decline, wildlife agencies are becoming desperate for new strategies to recruit hunters.

Is there writing on the stone wall for stripers?
After fishing on the rocks for two keeper stripers a night, we would lean on one tailgate, take two cold cans of beer from any icy remains in a soft cooler then walk to one long, sagging, stubborn stone wall. Through a sweet harmony of crickets and cicadas, we faced a farmers field of tall grasses and stray sunflowers, thick and healthy. We leaned on stones wet, slick from an evening’s dew, taking in long breaths of damp earth, breathing out pure salt air. With wrinkled palms, innocently we wiped our hands along green moss, unconsciously drawing patterns on slow growing velvet beards on glacial field stones.
Bianca Andreescu: All She Does Is Win
The Canadian snagged her first main draw win at the US Open on Day 2, and bigger things could be coming.
All she does is win.
That’s the story of Bianca Andreescu in a nutshell and the 19-year-old Canadian kept up her winning ways on Tuesday in New York by notching her maiden US Open main draw win, 6-2 6-4 over 17-year-old Katie Volynets.
Andreescu, who ended 2018 at 178 in the world, has stormed onto the scene and claimed titles at Indian Wells and Toronto, while compiling a mind-blowing 7-0 record against the Top 10.
She improved to 28-4 on the season and will move on to face Belgium’s Kirsten Flipkens in the second round.
Winning breeds confidence, and Andreescu is racking up the victories. She is clearly a player with no confidence issues.
“I think it skyrocketed,” she said of her belief. “I have been doing really well this year, and I think if you believe in yourself then I think you can do big things. I think that's where I'm at right now.”
Not only is she confident—she doesn’t shy away from the expectations. Instead she takes the fact that many believe she has a shot to win this year’s US Open as a compliment.
It’s one day at a time, one title at a time, for Andreescu.
Think people are interested in Bianca Andreescu? This is the sight at a capacity Court 10, and people are standing on the adjacent bleachers over on Court 9, too.

“I just step on the court and I give my best with what I have that day,” she said. “For me, that's all that matters. Obviously I want to win, and it's nice to see that people think I can win this tournament. So I think that also gives me confidence, too.”
“f there’s one thing that is worrying about the Canadian’s game it is not her game it all—it’s her health. She missed significant time due to a shoulder injury, and played just one match from April until she rose from the ashes and claimed the Rogers Cup title. She was the first Canadian woman to achieve that feat since 1969, and notched three Top 10 wins in the process.
She showed some signs of fatigue during Tuesday’s win and wore some strapping on her knee and legs.
She explained her physical ailments after the match:
“It's nothing serious,” she said. “The knee, I was feeling it a little bit during my practices, but it's nothing serious. And the patches are, like, these little bites I got from I don't know where. So I'm just covering them up, because they don't look too nice.”
