The fine-grained granite wonderland is home to hundreds of amazing problems like Fred Nicole's testpiece Dreamtime, established in November 2000 (which is possibly the first 8c/V15 boulder problem ever) and Dave Graham's Confessions (8b+/V14) recently flashed by Adam Ondra (which is possibly the hardest boulder flash ever) in December 2009. Shown in this set are a few mouthwater slopers and crimps demonstrated by Italian Alessandro Penna. http://www.urbanclimbermag.com/photo-video/photos/winter_granite_in_cresciano_switzerland photos Fri, 05 Mar 2010 14:38:00 EDT http://www.climbing.com/photo-video/gallery/ClaudiaColonia-Cresciano2010-sq.jpg Winter Granite in Cresciano, Switzerland <i>Photos by Claudia Colonia</i> - Featured in this gallery is a series of black and white photos from one of Switzerland's great boulderfields &#151; Cresciano.

Video by Alastair Lee / PosingProduction - A sneaky preview of the James Bond style opening sequence from this year's adventure block buster "The Asgard Project". Follow world-class climbers Leo Houlding and Sean Leary as they sky dive into Baffin Island, Canada, to pursue Houlding's ambitious goal to make the first free ascent of Mt. Asgard's north face. Regarded as one of the most famous of the Baffin Mountains, and possibly one of the most difficult big walls in the world, the team planned to make a wingsuit descent from the summit. Filmmaker Alistair Lee captured the duo as they attempted the ascent late in the summer season.

Photos by Rocker - The coastal city of Qingdao in the Shandong province is known as one of China's major tourist areas. In recent years, however, the city has been host to a new kind of tourist: climbers seeking fun lines up the granite cliffs. Boulderfields scatter the land as well, from the valleys to the beaches. On rest days, climbers can check out the local markets, fresh seafood vendors, and mountain culture. http://www.urbanclimbermag.com/photo-video/photos/qingdao_china_bouldering photos Tue, 02 Mar 2010 11:35:00 EDT http://www.climbing.com/photo-video/gallery/QingdaoRocker-sm.jpg Bouldering in Qingdao, China <em>Photos by <a href="http://qdrocker.blog.sohu.com/">Rocker</a></em> - The coastal city of Qingdao in the Shandong province is known as one of China's major tourist areas.
