Not a climb you’d find in your local climbing gym! Robbie Phillips tackles this splitter hand crack he found under a bridge in Edinburgh, Scotland. Who needs Indian Creek or Joshua Tree when you have first ascents like this hiding in the city.
In 1999, Alain Robert free soloed the Luxor Obelisk, in the Place de la Concorde, Paris.
In the last 100 years, humans have discovered no new mountains. But . . . we’ve built so many new buildings. As the last remaining first ascents are claimed on the mountains of the world, there’s only one direction climbing can go: to the cities.
Is buildering the future?? These guys argue yes.
Bizarre? Most assuredly. Pretty cool? Yea, pretty cool.
