This is one of my favourite videos I’d like to share with you!

Ascents of Silbergeier was made by Beat Kammerlander in 1993. Later, when Pietro Dal Pra sent the route, the famous poster was printed.

This movie relates the first feminine ascent by Nina Caprez of Silbergeier (Swiss), one of the hardest multipitch route in the world. Below you can see the topoguide and the grades of the routes!

Black Diamond athlete Nalle Hukkataival decided to leave behind the bureaucracy of bouldering in Hueco Tanks State Historical Park in Texas and crossed the border into Mexico. Destination: Peñoles, a bouldering area seven hours south of the U.S. border with rock striking similar to Hueco’s but without the onerous rules and regulations. Nalle quickly realized what he had heard of Peñoles was true: the place was virtually untapped, especially in regards to difficult highballs, and quickly set to work at developing a host of high-end, world-class problems.

Videographer Clement Perotti was along for the ride and has edited together a 3-part video series of Nalle and crew’s bouldering adventures in Peñoles. Check out one of his highballs below!

Here is a video for those who need some extra motivation but don’t know what to do. I bet you don’t train as much as her! So do you want to become strong? Watch her work out and get motivated and try it yourself!

Via Twitter I spotted this Best of British World Cup video. It was an event at the Biscuit Factory last weekend.

Nice competition and the setters have delivered a great job. The climbers are strong and the problems look awesome and challenging even for the females.

The video was posted on the website of The Arch Climbing wall, which by the way looks nice too!
