Introduction This blog is to mark the expedition to climb Mera Peak and Baruntse and all the events that subsequently unfolded. Since making a crazy return from the Himalayas on the 17 th November, the last few weeks have been nothing short of hectic. I have struggled to completely piece this blog together, since how do explain the euphoria of reaching a summit such as Baruntse, or even Mera Peak and the Amphu Labtsa, when I can’t totally understand the feelings myself. Ironically, I found writing the

Two videos from Ethan Pringle

As already reported, Ethan Pringle has had a good stint in Rocklands this summer. He has agreed to an interview, and as soon as I get the answers you will be able to read all about it. Not sure when that is though (Ethan?). Until then, here are a couple of videos of Ethan doing hard classic stuff. In the first one, he does Sky, 8B+, and although the quality is a bit on the poor side, it's rather obvious it's a very cool problem. The same, minus the poor quality, is also true for the second...

Thoughts on Expedition Impossible

I didn't really have the opportunity to share my thoughts following last weeks premiere of the new ABC reality television show Expedition Impossible . Prior to its debut, I had been writing about the program with some regularity, and even posted videos from the start. Before seeing the show, I noted that it appeared to be a mix of adventure racing and the show The Amazing Race . That description holds up to a certain extent, although Expedition Impossible charts its own course as well, sometimes for the

Enzo Oddo, 16, has made the first repeat of Aubade direct, ~9a/+, at Sainte-Victoire in southern France. The route was put up by G�r�me Pouvreau last fall. This was Enzo's second of the grade, the first one being the slightly more famous Biographie at C��se. On his blog, Enzo says he has no doubts about this one being 9a+, and adds that he has spent several sessions on it before doing any moves. The route can be described as an 8c+, then a not so comfortable rest and then a fingery ~7C+/8Aish...

How Internet Video is Transforming Climbing

video, Climbing, age, transformation, Climbers, producer, Art, transforming climbing, problems, Masters

In my previous post, I suggested that Adam Ondra's recent run of 9b ascents and 8c+ onsights marked a kind of watershed moment in climbing. But I don't think that Ondra is the only one transforming climbing. There is also a collective transformation that has been underway in the sport for several decades, a transformation that has been accelerated by the power of the Internet. This transformation has to do with the transmission and distribution of images of climbers and climbs and is present in both a ...
