 Photo: Lucas Marshall / lucasmarshall.com Chris Rolling on Sonic Youth — the signature 5.13a on the New River Wall in Clear Creek Canyon. It's hard to imagine that this popular sport route was aided over 40 years ago by Jim Logan, long before the canyon above Golden, Colorado, had any climber traffic. |

 A leap into new possibilities. When British super-climber “Strong” Steve McClure arrived at the first annual Bornholm Climbing & Deepwater Festival in Denmark, he knew nothing about the little granite island where the venue took place. Now he knows the value of the Danish currency (he shared first place in the DWS comp with Danish mega-talent Robin Vickery), the quality of the granite boulders, and the feeling of hitting Lake Opal’s waters from eleven meters up.
