Nalle Hukkataival reports on Facebook that he has done the FA of The Stepping Stone 8C in Grampians and here is the video from his previous tries. "There are moments in life that are hard to write down in words. Yesterday was one of those moments. The last month of my life has completely revolved around climbing this one incredible project. Yesterday was just one more day trying the project and it wasn't going so well. All expectations were finally out the window and it was down to one last ditch effort. The sun was dipping down behind the horizon and painting the rock red. This would be my last try. The wind kicked up. I chalked my hands about a dozen times, like I do when I'm nervous, and pulled on the rock. I was climbing on total autopilot like I have many times through the sections. A series of screams of surprise and relief lead to the sight of my right hand grabbing onto the finishing hold! I climbed the V0 topout like it was V13. Right there, standing on top of that boulder watching the bright orange sunset could be the most memorable climbing experience of my life! Surely one of the very best lines I've ever opened; The Stepping Stone, somewhere around V15. Who even knows with the upper numbers anymore. Looking forward, I couldn't have asked for a better trainer for the Lappnor project! No time to waste, I'm flying to Finland in the morning to attack it full force again! Let's see if this was the extra kick I needed to finally get the Lappnor project done! Amazing times in Australia!! SWOOOPPP!!!

Before walking up into Hoyamoros, please, get informed about the rules and regulations. ¡Respect this place! Thank you.

Sachi Amma, who has a goal of doing ten routes 9a and harder in 2015, just did his ninth, Jungle Boogie 9a+ in Céüse. (c) Luka Fonda From Facebook: "I send Jungle Boogie!!!!! Finally... I still can not believe it happened. It is raining heavily right now. Tomorrow I go to Germany. I got a last chance. It was a miracle!" Sachi stopped competing in 2014 after having been on the podium in 14 out of the last 15 Lead World Cups.

Isabelle Faus, who did her first 8B+ last month, continues to deliver with The Shining 8B in RMNP. In the female ranking game, she was #2 after Alex Puccio for quite some time and now she is the tied #1 and actually #35 among the male. (c) Chad Greedy "Really psyched! first try from the start yesterday, tried it the last few years tho, can't really remember anything ever, but probably more than 5 days, and less than 10 haha. great boulder, super steep, powerful, sustained, pretty perfect, props to my hommie Jimmy Webb for putting it up!"

The new Kalymnos topo with 448 pages including some 2700 routes is at the printer's. The majority of photos and photo-topos are new, and in addition to the practical information about each crag (shade, exposure, approach etc) little extras, like GPS coordinates to each crag, have been added. The biggest change, however, is that you will also get a code for a free App, that has been created in cooperation with Vertical-Life. Matthias Polig invented the Zlagboard and started Vertical Life almost three years ago with the plan to contact the local topo authors and offer to be their publishing house including a topo App. - Being the local topo producer of the South Tyrol topo I know how much hard work these guys put in and also that they help rebolting etc. At the same time, the locals are threatened by topo companies who just fly in and copy old topos as well as by user generated web topos. We believe that digital publishing has a great future, especially in the outdoor area. Together with locals all over the world, we are creating a global digital climbing guide. The Vertical-Life Climbing app is a comprehensive mobile guide to the best crags, boulders and multipitches. In addition to our own climbing guides, we cooperate with local authors and digitalize their guidebooks.
