Nowadays, 5.14a ascents don't typically make the news—unless, of course, they're made by 10-year-olds. Brooke Raboutou, daughter of Robyn Erbesfield-Raboutou, recently climbed her first 5.14a with God's Own Stone in the Red River Gorge, Kentucky. This makes her the youngest female, and likely the youngest American, to send this grade. Team ABC, a youth climbing team based in Boulder and coached by Robyn ...

The jury chooses the ascents based on a list of criteria, including style of ascent, spiri ...
German climber Robert Jasper has made the first ascent of one of the hardest dry tooling routes in the world. Iron Man sits at his local climbing area Eptingen in Switzerland. The route is 40 meters long, and a link-up of existing routes on this steep wall. Jasper had originally conceived the notion of creating a huge mixed link-up on the wall, but there was no ice due to warm weather. He suggests a gra ...
In January of this year, Jon Griffith and Ueli Steck made the first free ascent and first single day winter ascent of the Lesueur Route on north face of Les Drus. Griffith notes that the pair climbed a variation, and not the exact summer route. He explains, "the reasons [for the variation] were two fold really - firstly the bivy site looked horrific (not enough snow) so we wanted to push on, and secondl ...
Talented Norwegian ice climbers Bjorn-Eivind Aartun and Ole Lied have climbed a major new route on Patagonia's Torre Egger (2,850m), forcing an outrageous series of ice pitches up the left side of the South Face overlooking the Col of Conquest. The pair spent the first day climbing ca 600m to the Col, the pronounced notch between Egger and Cerro Torre, via Alessandro Beltrami, Rolando Garibotti and Erma ...
Italian Hans Kammerlander and American Jordan Romero have both achieved personal dreams, Kammerlander becoming the first to climb all the second highest summits on each of the continents, while Romero became the youngest "Seven Summiteer". In early January Kammerlander made only the fifth ascent of Tyree (4,852m) in the Sentinel Range of Antarctica, climbing in the company of Austrians Robert Miller and ...
Colin Haley had a productive start to his annual Patagonia season, completing a first ascent on Cerro Standhardt and a solo ascent of Aguja Innominata. Arriving in Chalten, Argentina, at the tail end of a good weather window, Haley warmed up by nearly soloing the south face of Cerro Pollone, a route that apparently had been unrepeated since its first ascent in 1949, despite only brief difficulties. On N ...
Adam Ondra has made the second ascent of Gioia in Varazze, Italy, and confirmed its V16 grade. Christian Core established the boulder problem in 2008 after spending four months working out the moves. Gioia ("Joy" in English) is 14 moves long with terrible feet, with a stand start that goes at around V12/13. Ondra had sent the stand start in January 2011 very quickly—"About 30 minutes," he says. "It is v ...
Spanish climbers Jordi Corominas and Elena Parga have completed the probable first ascent of the southwest face of Cho Polu, a 6,695-meter (21,965') peak in the Khumbu region of Nepal. The two climbed alpine-style and spent four days round-trip on the route, which ascends a steep snow and ice face for about 3,300 feet to a col. From here, Corominas soloed the final 1,000 feet to the summit. He believes ...
On November 11, David Gottlieb and Chad Kellogg made the first ascent of Nepal's Pangbuk Ri (6716m) in fifty hours, camp to camp. They reached the summit via the South Face (VI, AI5, M5,1400m) in just over twenty-six hours of climbing. Then the pair descended the face opposite the one they climbed, before hallucinating their way through a ten mile hike back to their base camp.
