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

I traveled for the second time to the remote mountain range Kookshal Too, of Thien Shan, in Kyrgyzstan. Our goal: to ascend the South-East face of Mount Kyzyl Asker. Tried by many alpinists, without a successful ascent so far. I would

I enjoyed some of the mega footage from his last film Core and was eager to see his latest climbing flick ‘The Scene’. Chuck has based himself in various modern centres where the world’s best climbers seem to be gathering right now such as Innsbruck, Catalunya, Boulder and various other areas around the USA. There are some quite nice interviews with the best climbers of the moment talking about what fires ...

On Rats Stole my Toothbrush E5/6, Mucklehouse Wall I wrote this on the way home from our trip to Orkney, having had a great time.

Posted By Liv Sansoz the 2011-05-28 I love sharing my passion with my friends who come from other scenes. Most of the time I'm away, climbing with some other strong climbers. Lately, my elbow started to be painful and it was diagnosed as a tendinitis. I was forced to slow down and I realized it was the perfect moment to share some "easy" routes with nice friends. The freeskiers stars Julien Regnier (France), JP Auclair (Quebec) and the amazing photographer Elina Sirparanta (Finland) have been climbing ...

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
