Katharina Saurwein and Jorg Verhoeven both from Austria, have been out in Bishop since around December 12 and have already completed some impressive ascents. Of particular note was Katha's ascent of This Side of Paradise (v10), the mammoth highball prow at the Bardini Boulders, and Jorg's ascent of Ambrosia at the Peabodies. I met these guys out in Zillertal, Austria a few years back when Lisa Rands presented a video by Sender Films in which she climbs This Side of Paradise . It was the incredible beauty

The 4th pitch roof of La Cardaire The next project is underway, and has already begun gathering speed. I have started to become more and more intrigued by the world of hard multi-pitch and big walls and over the last few months have started to make my first visits to this world. The eventual idea is to create something very long, very hard, and very scary, but this final phase is still quite a long way off in the future. Now is the time to begin developing the necessary skills, by attempting and repeating

The Bottom of Terminal Twilight looked like a river, which seemed to put an premature end to my plan of flashing the beautiful “Dusk Till Dawn”, an E8 established last year by Dave Pickford. Hopeful that the slimy torrent was simply the result of rain before my arrival, I asked Dave about his experience on the route, only to find out he had been forced to wait until late summer for the beginning to dry in order to make his ascent. Merde! Dusk Till Dawn (traverse in from the above the orange thread on

Posted By Liv Sansoz the 2010-11-21 Every year the Petzl Roctrip takes place in stunning locations. This year it was held in Mexico with a special taste and new savor. I was lucky enough to take part in it and would not have missed it; even though, a few months ago I was not even walking. What is there to say about this Petzl Roctrip ? It was truly amazing ! So different in so many ways from any of the other Petzl Roctrips that we have taken part in ! I must underline the huge effort of organization from

Clogwyn Du'r Arddu As we walk up to Cloggy the Welsh clouds gather threateningly over the summit of Snowdon. Dave and Claire ride the train to the summit with all the climbing and rigging gear. Ghost Train! Dave abseils down the route and a few drops of rain spit a warning at him. Spitting I arrive at the foot of the wall; I feel rejected, resigned to another trip wasted because of British weather. I decide to gear up anyway, figuring that I might as well jug up the wall just in case Dave decides to at ...

The Adventure LIfe posted a trailer to a new film coming out soon called Frozen that looks both incredibly scary and silly all at the same time. The movie centers around a trio of young skiers and snowboarders who are off to the slopes for a day of fun. But when they decide to make one last run very late in the day, they end up getting stranded on the chairlift just as the resort is closing down for the week. (I swear I'm not making this up!) The film will then follow their fight to survive out there in
