From one extreme to another

Image from Google The last few months have been quite a whirlwind. So much so that updating my blog has been low on the agenda. However the main event was undoubted a trip to Spain with a crew form North Wales. Spain was superb, with the crags around Catalunya and Lleida being absolutely must-visit destinations. I think the [...]


Whirlwind, ~8C, by Berni Schwaiger

Bernhard Schwaiger, one of the lone wolves of bouldering, has done it again. Another ridiculously difficult FA on tiny crimps in a roof. After realising the line was possible three weeks ago, the race against time was on. In this part of the world, the Austrian alps, winter and snow could arrive any day. Berni got to work and very nearly made it two and a half weeks later, only to fall on the very last difficult move and then, to make things worse, the snow came... But, where there's a will,...


The Tehipite Sanction

Image from Google The Tehipite Sanction by Rob Pizem Tehipite dome lies in the northern portion of Kings Canyon National Park, about a mile away from the Sierra National Forest boundary. But that is not where this story begins. I had planned on a summer adventure in Alaska where my partners and I would have to trek through the bush, cross icy rivers, navigate unknown glaciers, and finally end up at an enormous unclimbed big wall. We would make base camp and establish an amazing new free route on the virgin stone. ...

Cloud Mist Rain Drizzle Fog and bird poo

Michael and myself on the Longhope route, just before the cloud and rain ended the day’s play. The crux pitch linked, I headed back to Hoy with Michael, Claire and Diff for a shot at a redpoint of the route. Time was limited, and weather and work appointments gave us one chance. The day before I walked in with Diff and we rigged ropes out in space above the crux pitch, coming in a various angles to get stable for filming. Before we left, the rain came out of nowhere and we sat in the shelter of a cave

The Curse

The past week has been a whirlwind of bad luck.  The New River GIANTS shoot has been cursed and bad luck [...]
