Vampyren

Beware the nesting birds on Vampyren, we didn't see them until we were cleaning the route and then, sadly, right after we'd rapped off, one chick fell to it's death. Vampyren should be left alone until the remaining chicks take wing.

The Sends Poster

From the Director of Swedish Meatballs comes the story of a two year Odyssey through a land covered in Granite. The adventure begins deep in the Forest of the Steepest Boulders where Peter Bosma encounters a real life Monster, Stefan Rasmussen, reincarnate of ancient Vikings. Narrowly escaping a Duel to the Death, Peter heads West in search of First Ascents high above frigid, Medusa filled, waters. But there is another, the Fearless Rasta, Stefan Wulf, willing to do Combat for Ultimate Glory. The cries of battle culminate in the awakening of the God of the Underworld, Björn Strömberg, struggling in his attempt to escape the confines of the Never Ending Cave.

Journey to a Mythical Land, where the denizens have discovered the Secret to Sending. The Sends, it’s what climbing is all about.

Transformation...

Really, she's a boulderer. Serious. She's definitely looking for the experience, but somewhere in there, there's the thought that "This is a little bit higher than a boulder, and just what are those metallic things?"

Who goes on vacation?

Some people boulder.

Some people climb.

Climbers don't go on vacation.

They climb.

Year round.

What do you do?
