Fun in Fontainebleau

on Wednesday, 11 July 2012. Posted in News

Fontainebleau Trip

Once again, the summer months are upon us and here at Joe Browns, that normally means the staff will start getting away on their summer trips to various far flung foreign rock. No decent climbing venue is safe, with recent trips being made to world class crags in El Chorro, the Alps and even British Columbia. That said, this year's excursion for Pete, our boulderer from the Capel Curig store, was to the slightly closer and familiar destination of Fontainebleau. Here, he gives a brief account of the 18 day trip to one of the world's greatest bouldering destinations:

Another beautiful evening at Rocher aux Sabots

We've had a bit of a rearrange in our shops in Llanberis, and our range of running shoes, clothing and equipment have been moved down the road to our Corner Shop! With a bit more space to have a wander round and try the shoes out, we're hoping it makes life a little easier for members of our local running clubs, and anyone visiting who's after getting the right shoe first time out.

As well as this, we stock socks, bags, and other paraphernalia designed to make your off-road running even more enjoyable! Whether you're taking a little jog round Bryn Engin or Cannock Chase, or even taking on this year's OMM Mountain Marathon, pop in and we'll help you out as much as we can.

Hopefully run into you all soon!

Andy Parkin Universal Man

on Monday, 22 August 2011. Posted in News

Andy Parkin is an extraordinary artist and alpinist. Not long back from winter soloing and first ascent exploits in Nepal, he was at the recent Llanberis Mountain Film Festival (LLAMFF) exhibiting one of his sculptures.

The difference on this occasion was that he intentionally arrived with no materials and nothing to exhibit. The plan was to sift through DMM's recycling skips, relying on their contents (photo below) and spontaneous inspiration to dictate the form of the piece.

A great deal of Andy's work involves making use of found objects and discarded materials, breathing new life into them. On the Friday morning of the festival Andy went along to the skips to find them mostly full of left-over alloy from hot forging carabiners and pressing out buckles.

Just up the road from DMM in a corner of the large festival marquee Andy quietly went about his business, working his magic to conjure up his Universal Man sculpture from the retrieved scrap he'd pulled out of the skips.

The suspended three-dimensional outcome has echoes of da Vinci's Vitruvian Man but Andy's sculpture has its own impressive power and physicality, with a magnetic attraction for viewers attention. "Tortured man", "Terminator machine", "climber on a crucifix move" were some of the comments heard describing the finished work. Have a look at the short video of the making of it and see what you think
