This one is not new but I am putting high quality replacements online to update them for everyone. I wasn't satisfied with the quality of the previous versions.

The Schengen Files is a movie about my most recent trip to Europe. During the first three months of 2011 I was fortunate enough to climb in both Fontainbleau, France and Ticino, Switzerland. This video will document some of the hardest climbs I accomplished during the three month period. The video is planned to premiere later this Summer after it has been edited all together. This video is about the purity of climbing, the high level of psyche that I have for climbing at my limit, as well as the amazing rock that these areas have. This film was shot to document some of the hardest climbs I have ever done and to show my perceptions of the truly magnificent climbing within the confines of the Schengen Union.

■Boulder World Cup 2011 report - Milano
Jain Kim and Kilian Fischhuber were the winners of the first Boulder World Cup of the 2011 season in Milano. I kept the report rather short since I already uploaded most of the individual boulder problems, still, the split screens really give so much more information about the route setting but also about the technique of the competitors! As usual, check out www.ifsc-climbing.org for all additional info and www.udini.com for "behind-the-scenes" reports.

Highlights of the Bouldering and Speed World Cup in Milano (ITA)
On April 19, 2011, Chris Sharma made the first ascent of his longtime project First Round First Minute, in Margalef, Spain. This clip shows him trying the route last year. Adapted from the 2010 REEL ROCK Film Tour. Available at Big UP Productions and Sender Films websites. Filmed by Brett Lowell. Music by Swoop Swoop and Todayokay.
Chris Sharma's meteoric climbing career started when he won the Bouldering Nationals at age 14 and opened the hardest climb in America (at the time, 5.14c) a year later. In the decade that followed, Chris has continued to take climbing to a new level. Not only has he consistently shattered previous conceptions of difficulty, he was recently voted 8a Climber of the Decade. He has sent multiple 5.15 routes, bouldered V15, onsighted 5.14b, and established deep water solo routes at the highest grades. Chris holds claim to the current hardest route in America, and perhaps the world, with his ascent of Jumbo Love at Clark Mountain in California. Chris has a lot on his plate this year with a new house in Spain, establishing a string of 5.15 routes and climbing almost daily with his girlfriend Daila Ojeda. The area around their home is considered one of the hotspots for the sport globally with more than 70 crags featuring steep limestone caves and seemingly endless possibilities. It looks like Chris will have plenty of time to perfect his Spanish accent...

Check out this video of 16-year-old climbing prodigy, Enzo Oddo, prAna‘s youngest ambassador. He hails from Nice, France and, prior to the trip he took this February to Bishop, California, he had never been on a trip for the sole purpose of bouldering. Despite the foreign terrain and tough climbs, Oddo made the fourth-ever full ascent of the Bishop highball, Ambrosia.
You may not be able to climb or boulder like Oddo–in fact, Wend Magazine is willing to bet you can’t. But you can participate in this contest.
Enter to win any item from prAna by posting this blog entry on your personal Facebook page and tagging both prAna (http://www.facebook.com/prana) and Wend Magazine (http://www.facebook.com/wendmag) between today (April 19th), and next Monday (April 25th). On Monday, Wend Magazine will pick a random winner and post it on the their blog (http://www.wendmag.com).
Daniel Woods traveled to Alabama for the HPRocks competition. The competition was rescheduled do to rain, but this did not stop Daniel from climbing the area's testpiece.

■Sports Climbing Series National Championships
Hundreds of climbing enthusiasts gathered for the USA Climbing's Sport Climbing Series national championships at Movement Climbing and Fitness on Saturday, April 2, in Boulder.
On March 26th, 2011 The Boston Rock Gym and Woburn Scion will be hosting the 3rd Annual Heart ov Zteel bouldering competition. But to call it a bouldering competition is to lump it in with the hundreds of other local, regional, and even national events that happen each year in the US. The reality is that Heart ov Zteel is something else entirely. Think high-energy game show meets world-class rock climbing meets heavy metal concert….and you might have some sort of an idea as to the industry-leading madness that will ensue for the third successful year in a row. Heart ov Zteel is more than a comp, itʼs an EVENT, something that the climbing community talks about for months after the dust has settled.
A movie made for Petzl by me and my good friend Jesper Östlund.
We followed Said Belhaj when he showed his good friend Dani Andrada around on the Swedish west coast for ten days. They climbed some of the old classic routes and also tried some of the projects the area has to offer.
Video of a season start for one Finnish climber. Story of a cold and snowy winter passing by. Sun coming finally up after months of practically total darkness. Warmth starting to melt the snow. This climber starts his season by releasing one of his favorite routes under 1.2 meters of snow and sends it with style it deserves.
In November of 2010 Steph Davis called me with to tell me about a project she was getting ready to start in the desert. Her plan was to climb 4 desert towers and base jump off of them. Each tower had a unique twist to it, but the true intention of the project was to simply take advantage in local adventure on the unique terrain of her home town, Moab Utah. I immediately jumped on the opportunity; to photograph and film her climbing classic desert towers, making first free ascents, doing jumps no women has ever done, and more importantly, being apart of this unique project. I had the great opportunity to work with a great team of people, all that need mentioning here: Steph Davis, Mario Richards, Andy Mann, Jorge Visser, and Chris Hunter. Here is the teaser from the project, more coming soon. I hope you enjoy it.
