Caldwell & Jorgeson talk about the Project at El Cap

A Climbing disponibilizou uma entrevista completa (em inglês) com Tommy Caldwell e Kevin Jorgeson, sobre os últimos 4 anos que eles passaram tentando o projeto da "via de parede mais difícil do mundo", situada no El Capitain, em Yosemite. O projeto segue a parte mais lisa da parede do El Cap, e inclui umas sete enfiadas de mais ou menos 11a. Foto: Croqui da Mescalito, por Kevin Jorgeson. A via fica no sol o dia todo, portanto eles geralmente começam a escalar as 4 da manhã, usando headlamps.

The Pou Bros end up their alpine trilogy

Pouanaiak reports that Iker and Eneko Pou just completed their summer project. They climbed 3 of the most difficult alpine routes in the Alps: SOLO PER VECHI GUERRIERI, PAN AROMA and now ZAHIR, 8b+/300m in the Swiss Wendenstock. After withstanding the typical Swiss changing weather for 20 days - and nearly giving up - they eventually linked the 8 pitches of this free-climbing, multi-pitch gem (6c, 8a+, 8b+, 7c, 7a+, 7b, 7b+, 6c). Here you can read the whole story in Spanish or just enjoy the pics. Another video with the bros talking to Beat Kammerlander and some words about the route.
