→ Tributes To Layton Kor∞

Posted April 25, 2013 at 8:52 am · Comments { 0 } ·

Nice collection of tributes to Layton Kor over at Climbing.com, including this one from Steve Komito:

My clearest memories of these adventures include the feeling of sand in my ears and eyes, the sight of Layton’s enormous rock shoes in stirrups over my head, tiny belay stances hung over a void so vast that at times it seemed I must be looking downward into the heavens, and always, the sense that The Force was with me.

→ Andrea Hah Repeats Punks In The Gym (5.14a)∞

Posted April 21, 2013 at 11:03 pm · Comments { 0 } ·

It’s been a busy time for notable repeats of historically significant 5.14a’s, what with Paige Claassen and Drew Ruana repeating America’s first 5.14a To Bolt Or Not To Be  and now Aussie Andrea Hah doing the 2nd female ascent of the first 5.14a in the world, Wolfgang Gullich’s Punks In The Gym at Mt. Arapiles.

Nice interview with Andrea here as well.

→ 5.14c Onsight By Magnus Midtbø In Rodellar∞

Posted April 18, 2013 at 11:12 am · Comments { 1 } ·

Nice write-up with pictures from Henning Wang by Magnus Midtbø about his onsight of Cosi fan tutti (5.14c) in Rodellar, Spain:

It was a very satisfying feeling to for once win a desperate on-sight battle expecially since only 4 other climbers have ever on-sighted an 8c+ route before (Patxi Usobiaga, Adam Ondra, Alexander Megos (9a) and Ramon Julian Puigblanque). I feel like I’m in the shape of my life after investing so much time in Neanderthal. Unfortunately it didn’t go this season, but at least I got to put the shape in good use.
