In somewhat ‘changeable’ conditions, James Thornton and Dom Bridgewood had a storming day at the Stanage Plantation today sending The Ace (Font 8b) and Careless Torque (Font 8a) respectively.

Dave MacLeod, someone who knows The Ben better that most, has just done the first ascent of yet another new route – Red Dragon (VIII, 9).

Greg Boswell, climbing with Masa Sakano, has blasted Banana Wall (XII, 12) up the wildly overhanging central section on No. 4 Buttress in Corie an Lochain on February 25th to give the Northern Corries their hardest winter route yet.

As part of their ‘adventure list campaign’ Berghaus have launched its first app to allow users to create and share their own adventure lists.

During his three-week trip to Spain, Sachi Amma has blasted his sport climbing CV to new heights.

The 2015 Nick Escourt Award has been awarded to the Baffin Big Wall Rock Climbers.

They say that buses usually come in twos but in the space of just two days three separate Font 8b’s have been polished off by three separate boulderers; James Noble doing Serenity, Dan Turner doing Yes We Can and Ben Freeman doing The Voyager.

Fresh from his hard winter sends in North Wales, Tom Livingstone has been up north sampling the delights of the Scottish winter and not surprisingly he’s picked up a number of testpieces including The Secret (IX, 9).

Adventure photographer, Nadir Khan, reports on his FB page that today he photographed Ines Papert repeating The Hurting (XI, 11) in blizzard conditions.

Following the sad news on November 8th, 2014 regarding Dave Pegg’s passing (see here for that report) Michelle Howson, Dave’s step-sister, is masterminding the publication of a book to celebrate Dave’s life.
