Alizee climbed her first 8c in February 2025 aged 11. She got really close to sending the route an year earlier when she was 10 but luck was not on her side. She fell at the very end of the long crux and a week later she got injured and had to wait till the next season

Mount Doom is located in Maltatal, not far from Nicolai’s home. In 2020 he did the stand start and since then, the full line never really left his mind. This winter he committed fully and it turned into more than just a project - it became personal. This is the first ascent of Austria’s hardest boulder. Video by: Luis Beitl

Join Sir William Bosi on his quest to conquer Excalibur 9b+ in Arco, Italy. This film produced by @CrimpFilms documents Will's three year journey to conquer Excalibur, battling not only one of the world's most challenging sport routes but torrential rain plaguing his attempts. This film is supported by @fiveten .

For Seb Bouin, who has consistently established and repeated the world’s hardest sport climbs for several years—Wolf Kingdom “marks a turning point” in his career. Yes, the route is 9b+/5.15c, and yes, it’s also extremely aesthetic, a king line on a picturesque limestone cliff in France. But for Seb, the shift wasn’t about the difficulty. It was about the process. “Successfully completing such a big project while staying happy and positive the entire time—it’s an incredible feeling,” explains Seb. In this latest installment of Hard Sends, we take a deep dive into Seb’s process, while also gaining perspective from some other climbing superstars like Adam Ondra, who are now beginning to try his routes. Head into the Wolf Kingdom, a world of top-tier sport climbing, where only a handful of climbers like Seb are at the top of the food chain.

One try. That’s all it took for Babsi Zangerl to send the 3,000-foot Free Rider (VI 5.13a) on El Capitan. Setting off on a ground-up attempt this past November, Babsi and her partner Jacopo spent three days battling polished slabs, offwidths, and cryptic sequences on their historic bid. In the end, Babsi topped out as the first person to flash El Cap. But that’s just the “black and white” outcome of those fateful three days. What truly transpired was captured on film and tells a much deeper story—one of love, partnership, and character. This is the real story of Babsi and Jacopo’s epic ascent, laid bare for all to see.

Chris Sharma invited me to spend a day in Oliana with him, working on his long-time project Le Blond, a potential 9c route (or even harder??). It's always a pleasure to spend some time with Chris: only great and positive vibes and such an inspiring climber. The next day we went to Chris' climbing gym in Barcelona and I set the two crux moves of Le Blond for him to practice. We also created a nice video that is live on his Youtube channel so go check it out: https://youtu.be/XUtyg52sMzw If you like this video, don't hesitate to show us your support by liking, sharing it, and subscribing to our channel, it means a lot. 🙏 Chris Sharma Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chris_sharma 🎥 Director, camera operator, and editor: Thibaud Herr https://www.instagram.com/thibaudherrfilms/ 📖 Chapters 00:00 LET'S GO! 00:41 MEETING WITH CHRIS SHARMA 03:04 DISCOVERING OLIANA 07:27 WARMING UP IN A 7C 08:36 WARMING UP FINGERS IN THE PROJECT 11:03 MICKA TRIES LE BLOND! 17:04 CHRIS SHARMA 1ST GO IN LE BLOND 21:32 CHRIS SHARMA TELLS THE STORY OF LE BLOND 23:41 8B ON-SIGHT ATTEMPT FOR MICKA 26:24 CLIMB NOT TO BE THE BEST IN THE WORLD 29:50 2ND GO IN LE BLOND
