MAD in Madagascar – Climbing with Sean Villanueva & Siebe Vanhee
In August 2015, Siebe Vanhee and Sean Villanueva adventured into the Tsaranoro massif on the island of Madagascar. They spotted a major unclimbed line on Tsaranoro Atsimo, and armed with a drill, skyhooks and thirst for exploration, tackled the face ground up. This was different to other first ascents they had done, as they usually do not bring a power drill and very rarely place a bolt. But these walls are so blank and deprived of cracks and other features to place natural protection. This video shows their adventure.
