Starting to climb at the age of six years old, Sasha Digiulian has been a crusher since the beginning. She was the first North American women to climb 5.14d and third woman in the world to accomplish the grade. She is also a three time US National Champion and won the Climbing World Championship in 2011. Recently graduating from Columbia University with a degree in Non-fiction writing and Business, Sasha has turned her focus towards her climbing career. Last summer, Sasha DiGiulian completed Sonnie Trotters Canadian Trilogy, a series of three 5.14 big walls in the Canadian Rockies.

From establishing a beautiful 9a+ in Bosnia during the Drill and Chill festival to a first go attempt at Croatia’s formidable 8c multi-pitch Spomin, BD Athlete Adam Ondra’s recent road trip through the Balkans of Southeastern Europe was, by all accounts, historic. Leaving a trail of hard first ascents and futuristic projects in his wake, Ondra not only developed new routes in each country but also forged lasting friendships with a global community—a community forever connected by one thing: passion for climbing.
