→ Caldwell, Mills Climb First 5.14 On The Diamond∞

Posted August 22, 2013 at 4:06 pm · Comments { 3 } ·

Tommy Caldwell and Joe Mills have redpointed the first 5.14 route up the Diamond on Longs Peak, the premier granite wall in Colorado’s high mountains. The two free-climbed the full Dunn-Westbay aid line in four rope-stretching pitches, with an 80-meter crux second pitch (5.14a).

It’s also worth giving credit to Caldwell and Jonathan Siegrist who gave up their efforts on the route last week to assist with a nearby rescue operation underway to help a badly inured climber.

→ Yet Another 5.15 In Flatanger For Adam Ondra∞

Posted August 22, 2013 at 9:54 am · Comments { 3 } ·

Once again Adam Ondra has established a route in the mid-5.15 range in the Hanshelleren cave in Flatanger, Norway, this time with the route he’s calling Move. Here’s how he describes the experience on his 8a scorecard:

9b/b+ or just HARD 9b. Took me 2 weeks and half, while feeling strong and with bomber conditions. This route was hard for me, one my hardest, though Change is probably harder to repeat, as it fits my style WAY MORE

This is the 3rd 5.15b or harder Ondra has established in Norway in the past year, and he’s now done 26 5.15’s which is…well…a world record lot.

→ Between Rocklands And A Hard Place∞

Why???

Discarded climbing tape and litter are an everyday find at the climbing areas; faeces and toilet paper are hidden in caves and under rocks; and huge tick lines and graffiti are abundant. It’s important to stress that the majority of climbers are considerate of the environment when at the crags, but there are always exceptions to the rule.

The closure of one area here in Rocklands is solely due to us and, if we’re not careful, we will lose this stunning destination altogether.
