James Pearson climbs The Quarryman [7:52] – James Pearson repeats a classic hard Welsh route first established by Johnn Dawes in the 1980s.
A Higher Crawling [2:20] – “In the late 2016s, like, everything had already been done. At that point, the scene shifted to the sub-six-month-old group.” A humorous like at the rising generation.
The Incredible Hulk – Emily Harrington and Alex Honnold Free Climb “Solar Flare” (5.12d) [6:40] – Emily and Alex head to the High Sierra to climb a hard route on the Incredible Hulk.
Ice Climber Collapses Dagger – An ice climber climbs a freestanding pillar, and the thing collapses underneath him. Nuts.
