→ New 5.14 By Sonnie Trotter∞

Posted September 5, 2013 at 1:56 pm · Comments { 6 } ·

Always nice to see Sonnie Trotter in the news:

Sonnie Trotter has just completed his summer project,Castles in the Sky, on Castle Mountain in the Canadian Rockies. The bolted route, rated 5.14a, rises five pitches up a prow on a lower buttress of the mountain. While the route features moderate pitches of rock near the bottom, a dramatic overhanging arête guards access to the route’s final and easier pitches.

The key to success?? WWTCD of course:

When things got tough, however, he would ask himself “what would Tommy Caldwell do?”

→ On The Anniversary Of The Death Of Wolfgang Güllich∞

Posted September 4, 2013 at 9:13 am · Comments { 6 } ·

Interesting look back on Wolfgang Güllich who died in a car accident on August 29, 1992:

Apart from Ben Moon’s Hubble – which, though graded 8c+/34 Wolfgang always thought of as a soft 8c – from 1984 to 1991, Güllich established every major grade from 8b (31) to 9a (35) making him one of, if not the most successful climber of his time. Looking back from this day and being able to map the evolution of climbing since, the question must be asked, had Wolfgang not died in 1992, would he have gone on to do the world’s first 9a+?
