Monique Forestier Climbing "Tom et je Ris" (5.14a, 8b+)

2012-02-18T09:13:00.001+09:00

Monique Forestier first visited the Verdon Gorge, France, in 2007. Gazing across at the far side of the gorge she became captivated by an extraordinary line which follows a single "tufa" line for most of the 60-metre route. It is called "Tom et je Ris" (8b+). Time and conditions didn't allow her to seriously try it that trip but it gave her plenty to dream about for the next few years. She finally returned in October 2011 and as her daughter would say, "I did it!".

Nalle Hukkataival climbing in the Grampians of Australia

2012-02-15T07:18:00.003+09:00

BD athlete Nalle Hukkataival climbing in the Grampians of Australia from Black Diamond Equipment on Vimeo.

Black Diamond athlete Nalle Hukkataival spent most of September 2011 down in Australia, climbing on the beautiful and bullet stone of the Grampians. We had Keith Ladzinski on the scene to capture the action and he came back with gigs of quality footage—so many gigs of footy that it took he and his partner at Three Strings Media, Andy Mann, until now to work through the goods. But the wait was worth it as you see Nalle nailing down FAs and classic boulders, as well as even tying into a rope (no one can resist the call of the stunning Taipan Wall!).

La Obsesión - A film about Dani Andrada

2012-02-14T00:30:00.002+09:00

La Obsesión - A film about Dani Andrada from Haroun Souirji on Vimeo.

"When I was asked to make a video about Dani Andrada, at first I was super psyched and was looking forward to shooting it. Then, I realized that I had never filmed sport climbing, or even taken my camera on a rope (except to film a highball) and that I would not have time to try even once before going there. So I went to Catalunya not knowing what to except and quite nervous about screwing up while on the rope... Now that I am back, I only want to try shooting routes again!

If you are looking for a pure action video, this is not what this is. This is more of a 'video illustrated interview'. If you want to know more about Dani and his motivations, you are at the right place :-)

Dani has a strong reputation and all I can say is that he is as motivated as you would expect him to be. He is either climbing or bolting, or doing both in a day. He just never stops. And on top of that he is a genuine good person spending most of his non climbing time rebolting older routes to keep Siurana safe.

Weather was not kind with us, having fog, rain and very strong winds but it gave us some very intense tries in Siurana (sorry for the shakiness in La Rambla but I could not fight such wind...). And like Dani says, if you can do it in bad conditions, you will feel stronger when conditions get better..."

- Haroun Souirji

PS: the video was shot and edited in a very wide cinema aspect ratio. This is a test to see how well it could fit climbing. I couldn't stress enough that it looks best on a real TV so if you have a nice, big flat screen at home, download the movie (link on the right) and watch it there!

A Month in Hueco

A Month in Hueco from David Heerema on Vimeo.

In August 2011 I began a one year leave from my job in Canada and started travelling. We spent four weeks in Hueco, leaving on Feb 10 2012.

This trip to Hueco was the most fun yet. I had great support, wonderful friends to climb with, and the perfect partner who understood what it takes for me to climb well. Here's a video of some of the climbs I've done. Sorry for the lack of closeups or cool angles, I was really more into climbing than filming on this trip.

The Shadow - your first 5.13

2012-02-11T08:21:00.000+09:00

THE SHADOW from Sonnie Trotter on Vimeo.

Do you remember your first, 5.9? 5.11? 5.13? Last summer I captured my friends first 5.13 on video.

The EPIC Shadow pitch of the Stawamus Chief is one of the most dramatic rock features on the planet.

Located in Squamish BC, the Shadow has an honest reputation for being intimidating. Rated 5.13 it can be described as a single hand to finger sized crack which is tucked into a steep dihedral extending for over 150 feet into the summer sky. The Shadow was cemented into North American Climbing history when legendary stone master Peter Croft first freed the route in 1988, onsight. Since then it's only been repeated a handful of times.

In this video big bad rad Jesse Huey from Seattle/Boulder battles up the double overhanging corners using grit, tenacity and imagination. His first attempt took 40 minutes before slipping off near the top. His successful burn, 3 hours later, with a pair of lucky shoes, took 45.

Join Jesse on his journey to the chains, from arm barring chimneys and finger-tip laybacks, to pure friction stemming, Jesse uses everything he has. Be sure to take notice of the massive rack on his harness during the opening scene, and also keep an eye open for his palm sweating catch at 6:50, and for the fall at 7:20.

On his second burn, as he nears the anchor at 9:40 watch for the tiny nut that falls out before he clips the ancient and suspect pin (yikes), and of course, enjoy his moment in the sun when he realizes his first 5.13 EVER, is non other than the World Class "Shadow" pitch of the University Wall.

Hydrotherapy - Pembroke Deep Water Solo

2012-02-10T20:39:00.003+09:00

Hydrotherapy from Liam Cook on Vimeo.

Filmed in the sumer of 2011 this film follows Neil Gresham, one of the UK's most prominent all round professional rock climbers, as he embarks on one of the most challenging routes of his career, 'Hydrotherapy'.

'Hydrotherapy' takes the line of greatest steepness through the soaring, gothic architecture of Hollow Caves Bay in Pembroke, Wales. Climbing rope-less with only the sea to catch him, Neil could only safely attempt the route during a high, spring tide when the water would sufficiently cover the jagged reefs below. Discovering that the cave would remain wet until an hour before sunset meant that this tide had to rise precisely at the right time. When the sun was low enough in the sky, the face would be bathed in an incredible golden light and the moisture, burnt away.

So, the seas had to be calm, the weather, mild, and he had to have someone on hand to fish him out in case of emergency. Even getting to the base of the route presented problems which required an unusual and creative approach. As if to add insult to injury, the cliff falls within a restricted area of land, controlled by the military. Several attempts were thwarted by the unpredictable closure of this land, exacerbating a sense of frustration, made keener by the wasted 500mile return trips from London.

So when the illusive window of opportunity finally creaked ajar, Neil had to be ready to climb something at his physical limit. The resulting experience surely had to be one of the most cathartic and memorable of his life.

It has been my pleasure to try and capture it.

Thank you,

Liam Cook

The Dark Horse - Chapter 1 from Louder Than 11 on Vimeo.

As mortal creatures, our time on this small planet is fleeting. The very presence of our being is but a spec of dust recklessly hurdling deeper and deeper into the universe's infinite abyss of space. As we all together tear through the boundless black cloak of night, we often lose ourselves in the doldrums of our monotonous existence. Sometimes we become lost--unable to find ourselves. A long, long time ago, one man knew this and decided to make a change. He realized that in order to truly live, one must test the actual machinery of the human soul--the very fabric that bears the quintessential language of a beating heart. He figured that since there is no guarantee for tomorrow, one must live for today. And so began the quest for the Dark Horse...

Kate Reese McGinnis: Holding On

Kate Reese McGinnis: Holding On from Prana Living on Vimeo.

Climbing and parenting: a balance between hanging on and letting go. Climbing seems simple enough: grip too hard and you'll pump out early. If you don't put enough effort into it, you'll never make it to the end. Kate has spent over a decade fine-tuning that balance between holding on and letting go. Now with the birth of her first child Annie, she finds the same lessons in parenthood: Suddenly you are two people, dependent on each other, but each with a lifetime of dreams and aspirations ahead of them. You have to hold on, but not too tight. Seems simple enough.

Adam Ondra bouldering in Fontainebleau, France

2012-01-31T20:35:00.000+09:00

Video #1: BD athlete Adam Ondra bouldering in Fontainebleau, France from Black Diamond Equipment on Vimeo.

Black Diamond athlete Adam Ondra has recently focused his energies to the world of bouldering, and the results have been stunning. This December, fresh off his second ascent of Gioia in Italy (at 8C+, one of the hardest boulder problems in the world), Adam set off for his first-ever visit to the iconic boulders of Fontainebleau, France.

We sent videographer Alvi Pakarinen down to Font to film Adam during his four-day trip, and he was on the scene for a slew of hard sends by Adam, including his stunning flash of Gekko Assis (8b+), one of the hardest flashes in history, on his last day in the forest.

Below is Video #1 of the three-part series Alvi edited together for us of Adam's trip, and follows Adam on his first couple of days in the forest as he discovers just how tricky and fickle Font climbing can be. Adam, though, is not one to get pushed around for too long and he quickly comes to form and rails off a series of 8A+ and 8Bs, including Sideways Daze (8B), Fata Morgana Bas (8A+, flash), Satan l'Helvéte (8B).

Check back soon for Videos #2 and #3 from Adam's historic visit to Fontainebleau.

Video #2: BD athlete Adam Ondra bouldering in Fontainebleau, France from Black Diamond Equipment on Vimeo.

Black Diamond athlete Adam Ondra has recently focused his energies to the world of bouldering, and the results have been stunning. This December, fresh off his second ascent of Gioia in Italy (at 8C+, one of the hardest boulder problems in the world), Adam set off for his first-ever visit to the iconic boulders of Fontainebleau, France.

We sent videographer Alvi Pakarinen down to Font to film Adam during his five-day trip, and he was on the scene for a slew of hard sends by Adam, including his stunning flash of Gekko Assis (8b+), one of the hardest flashes in history, on his last day in the forest.

Here is Video #2 of the three-part series Alvi edited together for us of Adam's trip, and follows Adam as he boulders with one of the forest's true maestros, Jacky Godoffe (who is also a BD athlete). Jacky took Adam on a proper tour of some classics, including La Merveille (8A+) and C'etait Demain (8A, the first of its grade in the forest and FA'd by Jacky).

If you missed Video #1, watch it here: http://vimeo.com/35171521

Stay tuned for Video #3 (which has the Gekko Assis flash footage).

Adam wrote the following about the moments captured in Video #2:

"We went to Bas Cuvier parking where we had a meeting with the man of the forest: Jacky Godoffe. It was very inspiring to see him bouldering, being as psyched as ever even after so many years in the forest. I wanted to do some real classic and that is definitely La Merveille (8A). This is amazing prow with the high, but safe crux on the top. Jacky gave me some good beta and I flashed it! Funny thing was that when I latched the lip, I got just slopper a couple centimeters below the real jug and hung there for a second, having no clue what to do or if I was about to fall. From the ground, I might have seemed pretty relaxed and I heard Jacky as a spotter saying OK and going away. In that moment I squealed a desperate “No!“ and I felt that my spotter returned and I could stabilize myself again to do a final bump into the real jug. The end of the day was spent by trying C'etait Demain, the first 8A in the forest in 1984 and also established by Jacky. This was a hard one, and I spent about 20 tries on it, trying and trying again and getting desperately close to doing these two crux moves. Jacky tried with me and we had a plenty of fun, laughing at the precision and coordination this problem requires. In the end, I made it up this blank overhanging wall."

Adam wrote the following about the moments captured in Video #3:

"After restday, we woke up into still and foggy conditions, but it was obvious that the fog must diminish soon and the sun will show up on the sky. Warm up in Bas Cuvier was an incredible joy, doing the first 6A (Marie Rose) and 7A (Joker) in a sunny morning was a true pleasure. Kheops assis was ticked off in a couple of tries. I went to L'Apparemment low start, an 8B in Apremont sector. This is truly incredible problem with insane typical-Font topoput. I had some problems, especially wet footholds at the beginning, but after an hour it was done. Just next to it, there was one more 8B, La pierre philosophale by Fred Nicole. A roof with hard fingerlocks, it was too much for the end of the day, Jacky was true claiming that this is one of the hardest roofs in Font.

One last day. My goal for the season was to flash an 8B+, but within autumn having too many projects, I abandoned this idea and gave it up for the year. But one problem came on my mind, Gecko. My friend Andrej Chrastina told me about it 5 years ago, when I did bouldering very rarely. Andrej was persuading me to go to Font to try this problem, saying that it would fit my style very well. A last day of climbing of 2011... why not give it a try to fulfill my goal of the year? All the other goals for the year I had already managed to fulfill (excluding competitions).

The day didn't start in the best way: after cleaning the gite and getting lost and searching for the bloc in the wood from a different parking, we arrived in the sector a little while after noon, already tired after the beginning of the day and after the climbing the previous day. I took some warm up, not feeling very well, but having a lot of psych thanks to cold conditions. I tried to remember the video from the previous night, asked my friends to clean the holds that I couldn't reach from the pads and I set off. First two moves were OK, then it was very hard to move left heel to the left. I was very close to falling, feeling that I was loosing a balance for a moment, but somehow I stayed on the rock. There is a one thing that I really love in climbing: heel hooking. And the rest of the problem is about awkward heelhooks and I felt pretty solid. The last hard movement I shrieked, but I was almost sure I would do it. I felt unstoppable at that very moment.

Concrening the grade I am not very sure, I would love to claim that I flashed an 8B+, but I am awkward to admit that I could climb that well. Considering the effort and how (not) fresh I felt, I can't agree with 8B+, at least for my height. Or was I really in such a good shape, especially when all the other repetitions had confirmed the grade of 8B+? I wish I were, but my own subjective feeling tells me something else.

The rest of the day we spent in Cuisiniere, where I had to climb Karma, the world-famous 8A. And despite humidity, mission completed. Duel, another famous 8A, seemed like an ideal end of the year, but I had to admit defeat in that humidity. Doesn't matter, the year 2011 was successful enough to make me feel satisfied and this trip will be definitely immense source of motivation for the next year.

Font is an incredible place and the beauty of climbing there was even better than I had hoped. It is definitely, the best bouldering area I have ever visited."

What was that my sweet sweet nothing?
I can't hear you through the fog
If I holler let me go
If I falter let me know

Where were you when I was lonesome?
Locked away with freezing cold
Someone flying only stolen
I can't tell this light so old

I don't want to swim the ocean
I don't want to fight the tide
I don't want to swim forever
When it's cold I'd like to die

Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
Told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it's an ache I still remember

You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Like resignation to the end
Always the end
So when we found that we could not make sense
Well you said that we would still be friends
But I'll admit that I was glad it was over

But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened
And that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger
And that feels so rough
And you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records
And then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
But had me believing it was always something that I'd done
And I don't wanna live that way
Reading into every word you say
You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know...

But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened
And that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger
And that feels so rough
And you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records
And then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

I used to know
That I used to know

I have burned my tomorrow
And I stand inside today
At the edge of the future
And my dreams all fade away

I have burned my tomorrows
And I stand inside today
At the edge of the future
And my dreams all fade away

And burn my shadow away
And burn my shadow away

Fate's my destroyer
I was ambushed by the light
And you judged me once for falling
This wounded heart will rise

And burn my shadow away
An' I see the light, too light for love
An' I see the light, too light for love
Burn my shadow
An' I see the light, too light for love
Oh...
An' I see the light, too light for love
Burn my shadow
An' I see the light, too light for love
Away
Oh, how I loved you.....

Life On Hold - Trailer 2 from Outcrop Films on Vimeo.

Life on Hold is a new UK bouldering film from Outcrop Films. It follows Britain's top climbers and visiting stars around the UK, tackling some of the highest and hardest problems around. From the tough, mentally challenging highballs on the gritstone edges, to the short, powerful, esoteric testpieces of the limestone and everything in between. We've filmed the new emerging scene of strong boulderers and their tour around Britain's finest.

Featuring: Ned Feehally, Micky Page, Dan Varian, Chris Webb-Parsons, Michele Caminati, Shauna Coxsey, David Mason, Alex Puccio, Mina Leslie-Wujastyk, Jon Partridge, Martin Smith, Ryan Pasquill, Ben Thompson

In association with Five Ten and Arc'teryx. With support from The Climbing Works, Wild Country, Tip Juice and Beastmaker.

"Bewegungsrepertoire" war das Motto des ersten DAV - Kaderlehrgangs in 2012 und da das jeder braucht, war ausser dem Boulder- auch der Lead- und eine Auswahl des Jugendkaders eingeladen - insgesamt 20 Kletterer. Obwohl es natürlich deutliche Leistungsunterschiede gibt, hat doch jeder was aus den von Robert Heinrich und Tobi Reichert geschraubten Problemen lernen können. Als Trainer standen mir und den Aktiven Jugendtrainer Gunter Gäbel und Bayern-Stützpunkttrainer Thorsten Neuhaus zur Seite. Feine Sache das Ganze, die wir mitte Februar in Augsburg wiederholen wollen!

La Sportiva Climbing Party goes Boulderwelt

Kletterprofis, ein Weltrekord und ein exklusiver Materialtest

Die Partyserie des italienischen Sportlabels La Sportiva hat Wettkampf, Party und spektakuläre Events in die Münchner Boulderwelt gebracht. Neben einem exklusiven Kletterschuhtest, Meet and Greet mit den La Sportiva Stars und einem kostenlosen Buffet, stand vor allem eins auf dem Programm: Jede Menge Spaß!

Der „Neue“ unter den Kletterschuhen

Rund 500 begeisterte Boulder-Fans ließen sich die Gelegenheit nicht entgehen, das neueste La Sportiva Modell unter den Kletterschuhen, den Futura, schon vor dem offiziellen Verkaufsstart auf Herz und Nieren zu testen. Wie schon der Modellname, verspricht auch La Sportiva: „Das ist der Kletterschuh der Zukunft“. Auch wenn die erhoffte Leistungssteigerung um ein bis zwei Schwierigkeitsgrade an diesem Abend wider Erwarten ausblieb, fiel das Gesamturteil unter den Boulderern für den „Neuen“ durchaus positiv aus. Bis das Modell allerdings auch in den Geschäftsregalen steht, wird es noch ein Weilchen dauern. Erst im Frühjahr 2012 ist der offizielle Verkaufsstart.

Meet and Greet mit den La Sportiva Stars

Unter die fleißigen Tester mischten sich auch Special Guests wie die Weltcup-Sieger Mina Markovic und Kilian Fischhuber, sowie Lokalmatador Heli Kotter. Die La Sportiva Stars zeigten wie es aussehen könnte, verrieten Tipps und plauderten ein bisschen aus dem Nähkästchen. Kletter-Koryphäe Cody Roth ließ ausnahmsweise die Finger von den Griffen und für diesen Abend nur an den Turntables und sorgte als Live-DJ für den richtigen Sound. Von der Boulderwelt zeigten sich alle vier begeistert und der Rosenheimer Heli Kotter möchte nun sogar öfters zum Trainieren vorbei kommen. Wir freuen uns darauf!

Höher, schneller, weiter...

Als Boulder-Problem der besonderen Art stellten sich die drei Special Events des Abends dar:
Zunächst musste bei der „Wackel Traverse“ nicht nur Balance und Trittsicherheit, sondern auch Nerven bewiesen werden. Die nur aus Tritten bestehende Traverse musste dabei in möglichst kurzer Zeit bewältigt werden, was die Teilnehmer Barbara und Niko am besten meisterten und dafür ein Paar La Sportiva Schuhe als Siegprämie kassierten.

Als zweites Highlight stand der „High Jump Contest“ auf dem Programm. Runde für Runde wurde hier die Distanz zwischen Start- und Zielgriff erweitert, bis zum Schluss eine Höhe von 1,95 Meter bei den Frauen und rekordverdächtigen 2,60 Meter bei den Männern erreicht wurde. Nur Afra und Sebastian waren dieser Höhe noch gewachsen und konnten sich so ebenfalls ein Paar Kletterschuhe sichern.

Höhepunkt des Abends war ein bisher noch nie gewagter Versuch: der Weltrekord im „Person Traversing“. 17 Teams stellten sich der Herausforderung und waren an Eleganz gegenseitig kaum zu übertreffen. Einige der Paare mussten, von Koordinationsproblemen gebeutelt, frühzeitig zu Boden gehen. Dennoch konnten 12 erfolgreiche Umrundungen gezählt und als aktueller Weltrekord vermerkt werden!
Als Dank für den selbst- und schamlosen Einsatz wurden die Teilnehmer auch hier mit Preisen von La Sportiva belohnt, wie einem Kletterwochenende im Val di Fiemme in Italien und weiteren Sachpreisen.

Zwei auf einen Streich - Big Fat Bouldersession meets Hardmoves

Am 14. Januar ist es soweit! Gleich zwei Spaßkontests locken in die Münchner Boulderwelt: Die Big Fat Bouldersession geht in die erste Runde und trifft auf den Wettkampf-Dauerbrenner Hardmoves.

Bereits zum zweiten Mal findet die Serie der Big Fat Bouldersessions (BFBS) in der Münchner Boulderwelt statt. Der Spaßwettkampf für Jedermann geht über drei Termine an denen es je 40 Boulderprobleme zu lösen gilt. Am Ende jedes Wettkampftages gibt es wie immer spannende Special Events und eine Tagessiegerehrung. Außerdem gibt es nach jeder Bouldersession eine Verlosung mit tollen Preisen unserer Sponsoren unter allen Teilnehmern und eine Zusatzverlosung am Finaltag der BFBS. Am dritten und letzten Termin findet dann als Highlight auch ein großes Finale im Onsight-Modus statt.

Spaßkontest-Ökonomen kommen im Rahmen der BFBS voll auf ihre Kosten, denn am kommenden Samstag können sie gleich doppelt punkten: die 40 BFBS-Boulder sind gleichzeitig die noch fehlenden Boulder des Hardmoves-Pacours. Außerdem steigen mit jeder BFBS-Teilnahme die Gewinnchancen für die große Verlosung am Finaltag. Mitmachen lohnt sich diesmal also gleich doppelt und dreifach.

Alle Infos zur Big Fat Bouldersession hier noch einmal im Überblick:

3 Termine: 14. Januar / 18. Februar / 17. März 2012 
40 Boulder in allen Schwierigkeitsgraden
Kosten: regulärer Eintrittspreis, jeder Besucher bekommt einen Laufzettel
Keine Anmeldung nötig! Einfach kommen und mitmachen!

Hardmoves 2012 – „Fight for Glory“ - Teaser from Boulderwelt on Vimeo.

Beim größten Kletter-Event Europas wird in der Münchner Boulderwelt nicht nur um Ruhm und Ehre gekämpft.

20 Hallen, 6 Wochen Zeit und am Ende locken 1500 Euro. Im Rahmen des europaweit größten Spaßwettkampfes für Jedermann, den Hardmoves, ist so einiges geboten. Es ist der umfassendste Zusammenschluss von ausgewählten Kletter- und Boulderhallen in Deutschland, Belgien, den Niederlanden und der Schweiz. Von den 20 teilnehmenden Hallen richtet jede eine eigene Qualifikationsrunde aus, um die 10 besten Boulderer und Boulderinnen zu ermitteln. Diese vertreten dann ihre Halle als mixed Team im großen Finale in Wuppertal.

Das Konzept ist anders als bei bisherigen Spaßwettkämpfen, bei denen oft die Tagesform entscheidet. Bei den Hardmoves werden die Finalteilnehmer über einen Zeitraum von mehreren Wochen ermittelt. In dieser Zeit gilt es 100 Boulderprobleme in allen Schwierigkeitsgraden zu lösen. Die geschafften Boulder werden in eine Scorecard eingetragen, welche nach jedem Besuch in der Halle wieder abgegeben wird. Eine Zwischenauswertung ist stets aktuell auf der gemeinsamen Plattform unter www.hard-moves.de einzusehen.

Am 3. Januar fällt der Startschuss in der Münchner Boulderwelt. Hier warten zunächst 60 gesondert markierte Boulder auf euch. Am 14. Januar kommen dann im Rahmen der Big Fat Boulder Session die 40 finalen Boulder dazu. Die Qualifikationsphase läuft bis 16. Februar. Der Einstieg ist jederzeit möglich. Den Laufzettel erhaltet ihr für 3,50 Euro an der Theke. Gebt ihn nach eurem ersten Besuch an der Theke wieder ab. Danach werdet Ihr auf www.hard-moves.de freigeschaltet und ihr könnt eure geschafften Boulder selber online eintragen. Eure Zugangsdaten erhaltet ihr auf dem Laufzettel.

Insgesamt werden rund 2500 Teilnehmer erwartet, die sich für das Finale am 3. März 2012 in Wuppertal (Wupperwände) qualifizieren möchten. Mitkämpfen lohnt sich, denn am Ende winken – neben Ruhm und Ehre – 1500 Euro für das Gewinnerteam!

Nur die Harten kommen in den Garten...

... oder eben in die Münchner Boulderwelt, denn dort hat diese Woche mit dem Start der Hardmoves, dem europaweit größten Spaßkontest, der Kampf um Glanz und Gloria begonnen.

Boulderwelt-Chefgärtner Dave und Markus haben zusammen mit ihrem Team die ersten 60 von 100 Boulderproblemen gesät, die nun in allen Farben und Schwierigkeitsgraden an den Wänden der Boulderwelt sprießen und unter den Boulder-Fans neben heller Begeisterung manchmal auch ein wenig Verwirrung auslösen. Wer sich also noch nicht ganz sicher ist, was ihn bei den Hardmoves so alles blüht und wie man es genau zum Finale in Wuppertal schafft, für den kommt hier noch einmal alles Schritt für Schritt.

Pflanzanleitung zum Heranzüchten eines potentiellen Hardmovers:

1. Scorecard für 3,50 Euro an der Boulderwelt-Theke holen und nach dem ersten Besuch wieder dort abgeben
(jederzeit noch bis zum Ende der Qualifikationsrunde am 16. Februar 2012 möglich)

2. Das Bouderwelt-Team erstellt auf www.hard-moves.de einen Account für euch

3. Beim nächsten Besuch in der Boulderwelt ID + Login für euren Online-Account an der Theke erhalten

4. Künftig alle geschafften Boulder unter www.hard-moves.de selbst eintragen und die tagesaktuellen Rankings einsehen
(jeder geschaffte Boulder gibt einen Punkt, egal ob Flash oder Top bzw. welcher Schwierigkeitsgrad)

5. Bis zum 16. Februar 2012 alle 100 Boulder schaffen und unter die Top 10 der Boulderwelt kommen.

6. Am 3. März 2012 mit dem Boulderwelt-Team zum Finale nach Wuppertal fahren und jede Menge Blumentöpfe, Ruhm, Ehre und Kohle gewinnen!

Für prächtiges Gedeihen wird regelmäßiges Düngen mit Magnesium wärmstens empfohlen! Nach sechs Wochen ist ein „Über-sich-hinaus-Wachsen“ nicht ausgeschlossen!

Jon Krakauer wrote, “In any human endeavor, some fraction of it's practitioners will be motivated to pursue that activity with such concentrated focus and unalloyed passion that it will consume them utterly. As a result of this infatuation, existence overflows with purpose. Through immoderation, he experiences something akin to rapture.”

Yosemite Valley has long been regarded as the holy land for climbers and boulderers throughout the world. The origins of rock climbing lie in the 3000-foot granite walls lining the valley and the boulders that sit strewn about below these staggering monoliths.

In the late weeks of November, the Louder Than 11 crew gathered from all corners of the country to experience Yosemite Valley bouldering. As a group of passionate individuals, we enveloped ourselves in the landscape for two weeks, attacking boulders as if tomorrow would never come. On the surface, the very foundation of our identities is built on rock climbing—a sport that we believe is the greatest on the planet—but there is much more to this seemingly inherent addiction than meets the eye.

With Park Life, we strive to answer this age-old, omnipresent question: Why? By combining difficult climbing, captivating visuals, and engaging music under the all-encompassing umbrella of a professional production company, we hope to portray a unique lifestyle that has given us all a palpable sense of unwavering purpose. The long-lasting friendships, incessant failure and equally abundant success, reckless commitment and dedication driven to the point of complete and utter irresponsibility; it’s an eternal battle. We do it because we love it. At LT11 our media is always free, whether you like it or not.

Park Life Titles Tutorial: Projection & Camera Mapping techniques. from Louder Than 11 on Vimeo.

"To celebrate the release of Park Life: Yosemite Bouldering I recorded a hung over video of myself (Jordan Shipman) attempting to teach you how I made the titles for this video. I used some camera mapping techniques to project textures onto 3d geometry to create text that appears to be emerging out of the boulders. I try to explain a lot in this one. As always, constructive feedback is always appreciated. Feel free to ask me any questions and I'll do my best to answer them! Oh, and sorry about the audio glitch in the beginning. I didn't realize the music volume was up that high. I wasn't saying anything important anyway :)"

Sonnie Trotter and Will Stanhope climbing Yosemite's Prophet (5.13.d)

2012-01-21T02:05:00.003+09:00

A behind the scenes look at Sonnie Trotter and Will Stanhope climbing Yosemite's Prophet (5.13.d)

One year after Leo's legendary first ascent of the Prophet (5.13d R), Canadian climbers and fellow Five Ten Athletes, Sonnie Trotter and Will Stanhope climb one of Yosemite's boldest and hardest free climbs. Sonnie managed to free every pitch, with only 1 fall in all 13 pitches, while Will climbed everything but the final crux clean. An outstanding effort on their part, especially considering this was Sonnie's first El Cap route EVER. The duo spent their birthday's on the climb (November 15 and 16), starting up on November 14th, what a gift they gave themselves.

A Desert Life

2012-01-15T11:03:00.000+09:00

A Desert Life from Austin Siadak on Vimeo.

Alf Randell is a self-described "dirtbag" who has spent nearly a decade of his life climbing amongst the soaring sandstone cliffs of Indian Creek, Utah. In November, 2011, I spent some time climbing with Alf and documented his life in "The Creek," his love of tall splitter cracks, and his decision to shun city life in favor of a small camper in the middle of the Utah desert.

Alizée Dufraisse Sends Patinoso 5.14c Siurana, Spain

Alizée Dufraisse Sends Patinoso 5.14c Siurana, Spain from Prana Living on Vimeo.

French climber Alizée Dufraisse has repeated the climb Patinoso (5.14c) in Siurana, Spain. According to ukclimbing.com, she was aiming to climb the route Chikane, an 80-foot 5.14c in the Campi Qui Pugui sector. She instead redpointed Patinoso, a 130-foot endurance route in the El Pati sector. This is Dufraisse's first of the grade; previously, she had climbed two 5.14b's, including l'Arcadémicien in Céüse in 2010—a 5.14b established by Sylvain Millét that had not seen a repeat since a hold broke on the route.

Enzo Oddo Sends La Rambla 9a+ (5.15a) at Siurana Spain

Enzo Oddo Sends La Rambla 9a+ (5.15a) at Siurana Spain (video) from Prana Living on Vimeo.

16-year-old French phenom Enzo Oddo has climbed yet another 5.15 with his repeat of La Rambla original in Siurana, Spain. The route was first climbed before Oddo was even born by Alex Huber to a stopping point 3/4 up the wall, and it was subsequently extended by Ramón Julián Puigblanque. The accepted grade for this route these days seems to be 5.15a, but Rock and Ice has a good recap of this history of the route including Huber’s thoughts on how the grade of this route and many others has been inflated over the years:

“It’s a fact that La Rambla increased in grade from 8c+ (5.14c) to 9a+ (5.15a). Often people believe this is due to the route extension, but in reality the difficulties do not change substantially with this extension.”

SAM ELIAS/ MIXED CLIMBING/ RED BULL AND VODKA M11 from Cedar Wright on Vimeo.

Watch Sam Elias climb Red Bull and Vodka an impressive Mixed climb on Vail Pass that ventures out a hundred and twenty feet of tiered roof madness! The climb overhangs over fifty feet, and finishes on the Fang one of the most iconic ice climbs in the world.

I shot most of this with the 5d mark ii, and used a GH2 as the b-cam. For the opening scene I used a Kessler Pocket Dolly, to create some movement.
