FROM THE VERTICAL WORLD:
10-Year-Olds Climb 5.14a in Kentucky, Italy
Comments: 0
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, was there to witness the ascent. Brooke took only five tries over two days to make the redpoint.Gunnbjørnsfjeld SW ridge, East Greenland

Comments: 0
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 grade of D/M14+—dry tool/mixed—depending on conditions. |
