TheLowDown - Chris Webb Parsons' Hueco video

2010-02-09T07:52:44Z

Chris Webb-Parsons is well on his way to full recovery. I mean if you can boulder 8B, it can't be that bad, right? I guess it depends on what standard you're used to though, and what you expect. Anyway, Chris, who's on a rehab tour through the US, has decided to skip Hueco for now, opting for the end of the year instead, when he's back to full force, or a little bit more than that.
Here's a video from last year's trip, which ended in disaster when his shoulder gave up on Crown of Aragon.

TheLowDown - Bollinger at Raven Tor

Here's a video from Escalade-Alsace with Pierre Bollinger climbing Jerry Moffat's super classic Revelations, 8b (originally 8a+, but the start holds have deteriorated somewhat), and making the 2nd ascent of Rubert Davies' Seraphim, 8b+, two years after the FA.

misty murphy - My secret is out

2010-02-09T05:29:49Z

My secret is out. It's kind of a relief in a way. Judge me if you may........

I glued an undercling one time on the best route in the middle of fucking nowhere that nobody will ever climb but me. It's called 'Gluey but Gooey Fine Vagine' 5.9++

Secretly.......I masturbate to these guys

I get this fucking raging bout of PMS that can last up to 43 days. You should see my other blog! The vagina monoblog

Sometimes late at night, I dress up like Kentucky Joe, grab a jug of Carlo Rossi, load up my glue gun and drill, and head out to the hills to bolt 5.15's for Andy Raether.

I've gained some weight

I wish I were a thief. Then I could be respected on mountainproject.com. Oh! And I wouldn't ever have to try hard again!

Hot Aches Productions - The Great Chimney - 50 years on

2010-02-08T23:13:57Z

Those who knows anything about Scottish winter climbing will know the names Jimmy Marshall and Robin Smith. Although their reputations as climbers spread well beyond what they did in this week 50 years ago , 6-13 February 1960 will forever be acknowledged as a significant time in the history of Scottish climbing.

As part of a commemorative event to mark the achievement, Hot Aches is working with the Fort William Mountain Festival to film Dave Macleod and Andy Turner repeating the adventures of Smith and Marshall. We will be filming and editing as we go. Below is a short clip of their ascent of the Great Chimney.

You will be able to see more footage from the week on the Ben at the Fort William Mountain Festival on Sunday 14th February, dubbed "Jimmy Marshall night". Jimmy himself will be there. You can book tickets for the event online at: http://mountainfestival.eventry.co.uk/

Paul will also be giving a lecture at the Fort William Mountain Festival on Saturday 13th February. This is aptly titled "Climbers I've shot and some I'd like to shoot". Tickets for this can also be booked online at: http://mountainfestival.eventry.co.uk

Hej. Det är jag. Sammy Dahlman...Blocken börjar torka nu. Jag är så lycklig,På lördag-morgonen vaknade vi till solens strålar som försökte bryta sig igenom de gråa moln som täckte himmelen och marken utanför vår gitê såg dyngsur ut. Modet sjönk direkt på oss fyra, nu slagna, hjältar och ingen såg väl fram emot en dag framför datorn. Särskilt inte Sebbe som inte har med sig någon dator...Framåt

TheLowDown - 8a+ free feet free solo

2010-02-08T19:20:53Z

Andreas Proft has climbed the aptly named 25m Excess power, 8a+, free solo. And yeah, no shoes... at the Echo valley, Costa blanca. He's got a video to prove it too. According to Kairn, which is where I found this news, Dani Andrada climbed the same difficulty in the same style in the 90s.
Feet don't fail me now...

Hanna virrpanna - Hur länge fungerar självbedrägeri?

2010-02-08T19:03:00Z

vissa saker försöker jag lura mig själv med

ignorera

låtsas som om de inte finns.

Oftast fungerar min strutstaktik väldigt bra

dessvärre gick det inte i natt.

Febervridningar i sängen

hostningar

snorande

nysningarna

sömnlöshet

det är bara att konstatera

jag är nog inte helt frisk.

Haft en kul helg med att vara hjälpinstruktör till Martin på isklätterkurs i Munkedal, lite klättring och mycket stillastående kanske var sista strösslet på inte-känna-sig-helt-på-topp glassen.

Alpinist Weekly Features - The Continuum Project: Icefall Brook

2010-02-08T17:00:01Z

Jon Walsh and Ian Welsted venture into Icefall Brook, a remote ice amphitheater in British Columbia. Download The Continuum Project or buy the DVD to watch the pair in action on a beautiful new mixed line.

The Continuum Project, a new climbing film shot entirely in high definition by Chris Alstrin, follows some of the world's best climbing talent around the globe to document bold new routes and daring repeats on ice, rock, and in the alpine. Check out the full trailer here.

The film extends the focus of Higher Ground to gain new perspective on the motivations and courage of some of the world's top climbers.

Alpinist will launch six shorts by filmmaker Chris Alstrin--available only on Alpinist.com--that give a taste of his new film. We've already released footage of a new route on Kwangde Shar (6093m) in Nepal's Khumbu Himal and Guy Lacelle on a 180-meter WI6 free solo.

Want more videos now? See more of Alstrin's work by visiting Alpinist TV or the links below. Alstrin's films can be purchased at www.alstrinfilms.com. For a limited time, get a free copy of Luxury Liner when you buy The Continuum Project.
