With the Boulder World Cup approaching fast and The American Alpine Club an IFSC World Cup Partner, our rockstar-intern Ben Mitchell-Lewis caught up with Jeff Lowe, famed alpinist and organizer of the original World Cup events held in the United States. Jeff is a wealth of information on the subject, their talk led from early fundraising and organizational snafus to Lynn Hill’s climb up the Nose and back again. Jeff’s ongoing project, Metanoia, is a film documenting his historic 1991 climb up the North

Twenty years ago, as he was completing a gnarly nine-day climb of the north face of the Eiger, Jeff Lowe couldnt find a place to anchor his rope. With a massive storm licking at his heels, he abandoned the pack and free soloed to the summit, where he caught a helicopter lift back to Zermatt. [...]

This is going out from the Tim Hortons in Salmon Arm, BC, sorry for the junk show layout and bad grammar but the word was out, and I wanted to post Pondella's photos of Tim Emmett and me and some words. Yeah! I am sure of little in life, but of this I am sure: The Helmcken Falls spray ice cave is absolutely the wildest, best, most insane ice climbing area I've ever seen. It is going to be a destination for some, but it's a journey, sort of like chasing waves off-shore or climbing in the Himalaya. It won't

The north ridge of Latok I (7145m) has defeated yet another impressive team of climbers, this time three of the Giri-Giri Boys from Japan.

Their effort on the north ridge came after a failed attempt on the north face. The team turned back at roughly the same high point, ca. 5900 meters, on both efforts. Hiroshi Hagawari of Rock and Snow reported that Yokoyama

Some of the best winter climbers in North America have been tooling around on High Falls Crag in Adirondack State Park, New York. Visits by Steve House, Maxime Turgeon and LP Menard this month sped progress on some of the crag's obvious but still unclimbed mixed lines. But in the end, it was the lesser-known "locals" from nearby Vermont and New Hampshire who bagged the finest route. On January 14, Steve House and Matt McCormick added the last 100' of a partially complete M6 recently established by Matt ...

The Setup : 1) The roadpast Brainard Laketo the Indian Peaks trailheads was open unusually late this fall. 2) Good ice has already been climbed on Pikes Peak and in Rocky Mountain National Park. Jack Roberts, my climbing partner, had climbed ice near Longs Peak just a couple of days earlier. 3. Jeff Lowe said he had climbed "good mixed routes" on the north side of Little Pawnee Peak, above Brainard Lake. 4. Snow had fallen off and on in these mountains for a couple of weeks, the perfect setup for ...
