Outdoor training session with Chris Sharma in San Miguel Del Fai.

Nice film of Edu Marin climbing one of the most difficult multi-pitch lines in Europe.

Here is video featuring a few folks dry tooling there way up some dws.

We are pleased to announce that Peter Winter has completed his crag, The Pilots Lounge, that sits high above Mamquam Service road above Valley Cliff. Last week, Peter finished off his last line on the wall, This is your Captain Speaking (5.13a.b), completing his run of the routes here. It should be noted that Peter did leave one ‘open project’ that may fall in the 5.14 range. The cliff boasts a number of fun route and is surely not to be missed. The only caveat is that this cliff is rather difficult to get to and only those strong enough to get there will be rewarded with some great climbing (plus a small pack of peanuts and have a glass of sugar water!)

Here are the details for the crag.

Here is another great little flick from Stu Smith, this time featuring a new route by Jack Fieldhouse ‘Pan’s Roof’.

Nice little flick featuring Chris Schulte as he makes his way back to traditional climbing from bouldering in Indian Creek.

Black Diamond Ambassador Chris Schulte has spent a lot of time bouldering in Indian Creek over the past few years. He always knew he would come back around to trad climbing, but didn’t expect it to happen through bouldering. In a homecoming-kind-of-feeling, Chris comes back around to trad climbing in the Creek, putting up new hard trad lines for the first time in 15 years.

Two weeks ago, we announced that local climber and alpinist, Marc-Andre Leclerc had made a winter solo ascent of Torres Egger to complete his trifecta of the Torres in Patagonia.

Marc-Andre has started to make the trek to Patagonia earlier each year and has been rewarded each time with seemingly decent weather. This week, Marc-Andre, along with partner Austin Siadak, made the first free ascent of Titanic (5.10 A2 950m) on the Torre Egger, first climbed by Maurizio Giarolli and Elio Orlandi.

In the original start to Titanic on Torre Egger. This ice runnel is 100% all time! #arcteryx #dmmclimbing #lyofood #eggered
