Christmas time is climb time - 12 new crags unlocked!

Holiday season is here and we come to you bearing gifts and celebrating the achievements of our community.

The 8a community has logged a stunning total of 524 971 ascents in 95 countries which is 3.5% more than in 2020. The spot with the most logged ascents was Geyikbayiri (TUR) with 6 924 ascents, but the route which 8a members logged most often was in Spain, Siurana - Crosta pànic (7a+) with 78 ascents.

We think that these are not „only” bare numbers. They also show how resilient your passion is. Hopefully this helps to look back at 2021 in a happy way.

To fuel your motivation for 2022 - and because it's Christmas - we have unlocked topos of 12 crags around the globe on the Vertical-Life App. These include such hidden gems as bouldering in Ireland and sport-climbing in Lebanon. A selection worth checking out!

To redeem the code open the Vertical-Life app (you can download it for free), hit the „Redeem Code” - button on the welcome-page and type in the code "12months12crags" to get all the topos. Once you redeemed the code, you'll find the collection in the "My content" section.

Merry X-mas & have fun climbing!
