Spectacular new line on Torre Egger
Comments: 0
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 Ermanno Salvaterra's El Arca de los Vientos variations to the original 1976 American Route (6a and A1).Cool Climbs in Patagonia
Comments: 1
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 November 8, Haley cruised up to the summit block on Pollone, where he was stopped by rime-covered blank granite just below the top. Though he could reach up with an ice tool to within about a foot of the true summit, he decided not to risk the sketchy climbing without a proper belay.Ondra Confirms Gioia at V16
Comments: 0
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 very tough to climb this stand start after having done the first part, which is high end V14 itself."New Route on Beautiful Nepali Peak
Comments: 0
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 this was the third ascent of the peak. |
