Everest Too Dangerous!
In one of the driest seasons on record, the Lhotse and Nuptse faces of Everest are unleashing a torrent of rockfall, between two and 10 rocks per minute. The conditions are so dangerous this year that some of the most experienced Sherpas are refusing to go onto the mountain. And now, head Everest guide Russell Brice of Himalayan Experience has surprisingly responded to this year's danger by pulling the plug on his commercial expedition to the top of the world.

TNB: Dean Potter. Crazy Like I Like
Dean, untethered and hundreds if not a thousand or feet up (it’s hard to tell from the video, apparently shot with a camera made from a shoe box and a Coke bottle).

Super Runout 5.13c Wall RepeatedJames Pearson and Caroline Ciavaldini have completed the first repeat of Pietro Dal Pra's masterpiece, Aria, a 10-pitch 5.13c in Sardinia. Dal Pra is a legend in Europe, known for his bold, big free routes established from the ground up. A superb free-climber—he made the first free ascent of Sardinia's famous Hotel Supramonte (5.13d, 400 meters) and repeated the feared Beat Kammerlander route Silbergeier (5.14a, 200 meters)—Dal Pra established Aria to be a testament to bold free climbing and took a couple of 80-footers trying to get the bolts in. According to Ciavaldini, you can climb Aria with six quickdraws, even the 150-foot pitch! Add a comment
