Shameless plug from the site owner: After fending off the heat and swarms of biting bugs I was able to dispatch this fine line (Adamantium Stand) at Black Mountain. The goal is to send the sit, so one down and one to go! Thank you, Jenn, for the spot and Kevin for the encouragement. Send […]

Watch Ben Moon fire this Yosemite classic. Who is Ben Moon you say? For the last two decades, Ben Moon’s name has been inextricably linked to climbing. Indeed, since 1984 when, as an 18 year old, he made the first ascent of Statement of Youth 8a, Ben has been in the vanguard of British and […]

This video is about a new Sit Down Start (SDS) to Seven Spanish Angels, a classic boulder problem in the Buttermilks in Bishop, CA, USA.
