"A story about Klemen Bečan's contribution to Slovenian climbing scene
through developing climbing area called Osp, especially its most famous crag, where the hardest rock climbing routes are found, called "Pajkova streha", which means Spider's roof. The story follows Klemen's achievments in developing and climbing the marvelous cave, full of limestone tufas; since the year of 2007, Klemen bolted 7 popular routes, including two of the hardest rock climbs in Slovenia, Halupca 1979 (9a) and Waterworld (9a), which Klemen sended few months ago. The period of bolting and climbing was ended with upgrade of all the rutes; in late march 2014, Klemen bolted a 180 m long, multi-pitch route, which he graded around 8b(?). In the movie, you can also see the appearance of a young, talented Slovenian climber of the new generation Domen Škofic, who sended Klemen's project Water World, and also one of the most legendary Slovenian female climbers in history, Martina Čufar Potard, a successful competion and rock climber.

"Conrad Anker and Kris Erickson climb the Nutcracker

Leading the life of a climber involves a tremendous amount of sacrifice and hardship, but for team athletes Conrad Anker and Kris Erickson, there’s no living without it. In 1999, on an expedition in Tibet, team alpine climbers Conrad Anker and Kris Erickson lost their good friend and exploration companion, Alex Lowe, to an avalanche that narrowly missed Conrad himself. To preserve Alex’s honor, Conrad and Kris establish and send the Nutcracker, a new ice climb route in Hyalite Canyon, Montana. Their story, and climb, are captured here by Sherpas Cinema.

Squib Climbing the First Ascent of Augmentium (30, 8a+) in Freycinet National Park, TASMANIA, Placing all his gear on lead.

"This story is about the first 8B+ in Russia, which has been opened by Artem Petrakov last september at the newly developed area called Lietlahti. Artem named the line Kozhanyi Nos (leather nose) in memory of his dog, which died on the same day, as he climbed the problem.

История про то, как скалолаз из Москвы Артем Петраков первым пролез потрясающий проект по нависанию в Лиетлахти, ныне известный под названием Кожаный Нос (Артем назвал трассу в память о своей собаке, умершей в тот же день, когда он пролез проект). По словам Артема, это самая сложная трасса из тех, что он пролез (а список его достижений довольно внушителен). Артем предложил категорию сложности 8В+, чего прежде не случалось на территории Российской Федерации!

30 years later Ben Moon revisits his 1984 8a, Statement of Youth.

"It seems hard to believe but it was 30 years ago back in 1984, aged just 18 that I made the first ascent of the UK's 2nd 8a Statement of Youth. At the time it caused quite a stir in the climbing world not because of it?s difficulty but because I had used 7 bolts to climb it. To those not familiar with climbing in the 1980s this might seem pretty strange but back then sport climbing in the UK didn't exist. Although it would take a few years this was all going to change and Statement played a big part in this change. During the past 30 years I have made several 1st ascents around the world but there are none that I am more proud of than Statement of Youth. Located at Lower Pen-Trwyn (LPT to most people) on the Great Orme in North Wales the route takes a line up the right-hand side of the steep left hand section of the cliff. With no particular crux section but very sustained at the grade it's a right of passage for the sport climber aspiring to the magical 8th grade. To celebrate its 30th anniversary I recently made a trip back to LPT with my good friend Steve Lewis to make a short film about that summer and the first ascent of Statement of Youth. I hope you enjoy." - Ben Moon

The route has never been attempted before and counts as the world’s longest roof climb with 13 pitches. Both athletes descended into the bowels of the earth into the giant Majlis al Jinn Cave to climb the probably biggest roof this planet has to offer. No one has taken on this challenge so far, the idea is unique. Glowacz and Sharma climbed from the bottom of the Majlis al Jinn Cave back to Earth’s surface.

"I could not fall. I think by the end I was screaming at every move - more nervous than tired - but definitely tired. I clipped the chains with swollen forearms and bleeding tips. 'Algorithm' 14d was born. Idaho's hardest pitch, and one of the proudest F.A.s of my career." - Jonathan Siegrist

The Moab desert is full of beautiful, free standing sandstone towers. What could be more practical and aesthetic than free climbing the towers and base jumping off them?

With my husband and partner Mario Richard, and our good friends Keith Ladzinski and Jorge Visser, we teamed up to shoot the whole adventure on these beautiful towers and make a movie of some of our favorite base climbs.

Since its 1974 first ascent until 2012, only three new routes were established to Cerro Torre's summit without relying on the bolt ladders of the infamous Compressor Route. All three of these ascents included Patagonia ambassadors and field testers -- here are their stories, first hand. Narrated by Kelly Cordes, with Rolando Garibotti, Colin Haley and Hayden Kennedy.

Chris Sharma has been in Ceüse for the last couple of weeks, climbing established lines and bolting a new route. We were able to catch up with him on the tail end of his trip.

Squamish - Genius Loci.

In 1991, tallying more than 20 days in ground up style, Hamish Fraser, Peder Ourom and Mark Gandy established "Genius Loci", a stunning 5 pitch route leading up the Squamish Chief Grand Wall.
Despite it's classic and legendary status, close proximity to the ground, and modest grade (by modern standards), the route has believed to have not been freed in a single ascent until 2012.

A short highlight video produced by Louder Than 11 from the 2012 IFSC Bouldering World Cup at the Teva Mountain Games in Vail, Colorado. The Teva Mountain Games are a project of the Vail Valley Foundation. Complete event details can be found at www.tevamountaingames.com.

This video is about Jenya Kazbekova who climbed "Vremya Ch" when she was 11 years old. Then she climbed her first 8B+ "Parallelyniy Mir" when she was 13 years old and then she made 8a+ onsight "Super Priapos" two years later. Jenya is very talented and hardworking girl. As a result she finally won the World Youth Championship, 2010 in category "Lead" and then she got the silver medal in the same category at the World Youth Championship, 2011. This year she has won Ukrainian Championship held in Kiev in the category "Bouldering" and she got a "Sport Master" rank.
Видео о Жене Казбековой, которой в 11 лет был пройден маршрут категории сложности 8А (Время Ч), и уже в 13 лет категории 8B+ (Параллельный мир). В 15 лет был пройден маршрут категории 8а+ на онсайт (Super Priapos). Женя очень талантливая и трудолюбивая девушка, что позволило ей выиграть Детский Чемпионат Мира в трудности в 2010 году и стать серебряной призеркой в 2011. В мае 2012 года Женя выиграла чемпионат Украины по болдерингу и получила звание мастера спорта.

Early in February, Joe Möhle completed the first Trad ascent of an old open project bolted at a sport crag, The Hole, in Cape Town. The route was originally bolted by Jono Fisher and remained an open project for a long time. Joe initially nabbed the first ascent of it as a sport route but, not trusting the old bolts, he ended up placing gear anyway. He then decided to do the whole thing on gear.
He named the line, Life Enhancement Program. It goes at around 30/31 (8a+), and is very very impressive!
I was there to capture the action.

As a climber sometimes our biggest job is to try to do justice to the amazing stories of our friends and peers. For this piece I worked with our crew at http://camp4collective.com to tell http://thenorthface.com athlete Jimmy Chin's http://jimmychin.com story as he in turn highlights modern day climbing in Yosemite for a National Geographic feature story.

It seemed so serendipitous to be 'on assignment' in a place that we all cut out teeth as adventurers and which also ended up becoming the namesake of our collective!

As always, thanks for tuning in! ~reo

The odd Fontainebleau holiday video. This was my third time in the forest and we had some really nice days. Conditions were perfect. As in every bouldering trip, the list of things to do just gets longer and longer and I'm already looking forward to returning to the source of bouldering.
