Wichita Mountains Climbing Area Guides
Seems a theme on here lately has been putting a bunch of older stuff back online. I have so much material from previous versions of this site that it’s high time that it go back online. As I continue to rediscover that old material it will find a place on here. Some of the guides need…
New Old Stuff – The return of content and the NBC
I was going through some computer files the other day and was surprised to find multiple folders from various iterations of the Fusion 47 website dating back to the late 1990s. As I started looking I realized that there was a bunch of content that I’d taken offline. There were stories, articles, photos…all kinds of stuff that…
New Gym – Climb UP in Norman!

Stories about ice climbing in the Wichita Mountains, Avery Drive, even Turner Falls. Those stories are true,…
New page added – The Quarry
There’s a lot of stored material on my hard drives, in my photo albums (I’m talking about actual photo albums, not the online version), and on little 8mm video tapes that documents a history of Oklahoma climbing.
