Meet Fiona! She will be a freshman at the University of Colorado and recently spent some time hanging out in Boulder and getting a feel for the area. She will be studying hearing and speech sciences at CU and wants to help people who don’t have the ability to speak or hear. Fiona is […]

According to some who don’t live here, Boulder is a bastion of agreement. Rumor has it we’re progressively—or insanely—liberal, perpetually supportive of all things fitness, and not only tolerate but court ideas considered fringe elsewhere. In other words, to those outside the bubble, we’re a city of single-minded, almost amoeba-like continuity. Granted, when it comes […]

The word construction immediately makes me cringe when it is spoken. The construction on highway 36, a highway that I drive every single day, seems to only inch towards completion. My freshman year I lived in Smith Hall in Kittredge which underwent an entire year of construction, which forced me and all other Smith kids […]

Coming to Colorado to study environmental science, he is working as a ranch hand this summer in Nederland.   Very passionate about music, Dan is also interested in furthering his musical talents with piano, and potentially guitar. One of his […]

It’s raining. Pretty much always. We’ve all talked about it, as climbers, we’ve all cried about it. The good news is, as Boulderites, there are always indoor options to satisfy our outdoor obsessions. For a city of just under 100,000 people, there are six climbing gyms all within about a mile radius of each other. […]
