American climbers Conrad Anker, Jimmy Chin and Renan Ozturk climbed Meru Central (6310m) via the Shark's Fin in a twelve-day push. They summited on October 2 to become the first team to complete this highly sought-after objective. The Shark's Fin has repelled many experienced alpinists, with attempts on this line numbering in the dozens. This was Anker's third attempt to establish a route up the Fin, and the second attempt for both Chin and Ozturk. Over the years, the trio has accumulated thirty-plus days

It seems the number ski and snowboarding films being released is starting to hit critical mass. Could it be that as the end of summer approaches (It's officially over on Friday!), our need to play in the snow begins to overwhelms us? We still have to make it through autumn before we can hit the slopes, but to help us get there is the new film Breaking Trail from PowderWhore Productions , a film that celebrates backcountry skiing at its finest.
