After spending a few weeks in the States, the climbing journey of Adam Ondra goes on and stops in Chile for another incredible adventure.

It is with great sadness that we report the Food Ranch in Orangeville, Utah will be closing its doors Jan.24th, 2019. In an instagram post, the owners of the Food Ranch noted that they tried many different ways to make the iconic store work financially but could not come up with a viable solution.

On a personal note, the Food Ranch has been a hub of warmth, great internet, some pretty tasty chicken fingers, and those donuts! Next to Lago Linda’s in the Red River Gorge and Miguel’s, it was likely the next most climber friendly place we have encountered on the road.

Thanks to everyone who was so great to climbers over these years and we hope for your return!

In the last 100 years, humans have discovered no new mountains. But… we’ve built so many new buildings. As the last remaining first ascents are claimed on the mountains of the world, there’s only one direction climbing can go: to the cities. Be ready for the full film coming in May 2019. Death is inevitable.. why not builder?

Northwest Route was first climbed by Yosemite climbers Royal Robbins and Tom Frost in 1962. 1200 feet tall and packed with challenges, the climb established them both as two of the world’s leading climbers. Until 2018 the route had never been free climbed when Kevin Jorgeson and Ben Rueck set out to do just that.
