A vertical journey around South East Asia… and the world
Cape Town is holding a special place in my heart. The first time I came there was in 2013 and I was immediately amazed by all the possibilities offered by this region. This trip was a special one as David was getting married. It was also my very first holiday with Hande and our first climbing trip.
A very inspiring story that has been lived covered by Pavel Blazek and Adam. Tommy Cadwell and Jorge Jorgeson were visionary and it is a total different ball game finding a route and a way to climb it. But Adam’s story is one the finest treat I’ve seen in modern rock climbing history. Thanks.
Rock Climbing in South Korea is just amazing. During SG50, we went on a road trip to discover some of the most beautiful trad climbing routes in the country: Insubong in Seoul, Janggon-bong in the Seoraksan National Park and more.
“Polish Princess” (7b, 270m) was established in April 2011 by Eliza Kubarska and David Kaszlikowski from Poland. We came back in July 2015 to repeat the route and re bolt the anchors with Ti Bolts.
Where Angels Fear To Tread (WAFTT) is one of the most classic route in Mt Buffalo. We went there in may 2013 for a a short weekend and were lucky enough to experience the most amazing weather possible. Ozymandias would be next…
We did not failed, our success has just been postponed
During Easter 2014, Dave and I finally jumped on one of our long term projects: Ozymandias Direct, Mont Buffalo Australia. Graded M4/A2, this 280m climb is the most famous aid line in Australia and offer a spectacular scenery over the gorge. For our first real attempt, we spent three days and two nights on the wall. What a blast !
Waking Dream has been a long journey and it was a worth reward to top out on Malaysia Day. We climbed the route spread over 3 weekends with the objective to re-bolt the line, re-stating it as good as possible to the condition it was after the first ascent.
