 Rock Climbing with Sylvan Rocks Climbing
Video by Sylvan Rocks Climbing School - The Black Hills, especially the southern Black Hills, are full of unique granite rock formations. It is out of these rock formations that Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse are carved. Excellent rock climbing can also be found among these large granite rocks. Whether you're a novice climber or expert climber, there is something for every level of climber in the Hills! If you're looking for a guide service, Sylvan Rocks Climbing School and Guide Service are great. They have been climbing and guiding in the Hills for years and are sure to show you a wonderful day of climbing.  Jacinda Hunter: Driving Force
Video by Mike Call - Jacinda Hunter, a nurse and mother of four (two boys and two girls), juggles work and parenthood with bouldering V11 and redpointing 5.14b. She says, “usually when I make up my mind to do something, I get it done.” Jacinda feels her biggest challenge is being a good parent and good example for her kids. “It’s hard to find time to provide opportunities for their interests and growth, and still have time to indulge in my own passions like climbing.” Jacinda and her husband, Mike, don’t have a TV — instead, the whole family goes on climbing trips together. Breaking the Law, her hardest route, was a "long, cold winter project with the family."  First Blind Ascent of Alpamayo
Erik Weihenmayer (touchthetop.com) recently completed the first blind ascent of Alpamayo, a striking mountain in the Peruvian Andes that reaches 19,511 feet. Weihenmayer climbed the French Direct line on the peak with friend Eric Alexander and local Peruvian guide Rodrigo Callupe. Rather than spend time acclimatizing, the climbers headed immediately up the mountain, setting up camp at 18,200 feet. Weihenmayer had already started to feel effects of the high altitude (and cattle-tainted water). Beginning the summit push at 1:30 a.m., the team waded through fresh snow and then ten pitches of technical climbing.  Squamish in a Day
Video by Cedar Wright - This summer, I had the pleasure of giving a presentation at the Squamish Mountain Film Festival and arrived a day early to do some shooting with the perhaps overly ambitious idea of presenting an original climbing film that I shot and cut in a day. It turned out to be a lot of work, and I literally didn't sleep for a night to get this ready for the show, but everyone was super psyched to see a slice of their home area presented to them in near real time. This movie features Jason Kruk, Will Stanhope, Tommy Caldwell, and Hazel Findlay crushing Squamish's world class stone! Hope you enjoy it!  Boulder World Cup 2010 Report #6 - Sheffield
Video by Udo Neumann - With only one more Bouldering World Cup of 2010 left, climbers have upped their game, fighting neck and neck for the gold. Winner Chloe Graftiaux of Belgium and runner-up American Alex Johnson were separated only by one attempt. Czech climber Adam Ondra was way ahead of the men's field in finals, topping out every boulder with only France's Cedric Lachat behind him. Kilian Fischhuber of Austria finished a disappointing tenth but remains first in rankings, with Ondra close behind. Graftiaux's win put her on top in rankings, with Austria's Anna Stohr falling to third.  Alex Puccio: The Centaur
Video by Prana Living - "I love to share my passion for climbing with everyone I come in touch with. Climbing is everything to me, and it has brought me great things in life. It has given me the opportunity to meet so many awesome people and has led me to cool places around the world. There is nothing better than traveling around and getting to climb at different places. There are so many different types of rock and various types of movements, and I want to experience them all!"  Boulder World Cup 2010 Report #5 - Eindhoven

Ascent of Ama Dablam
Video by Philippe Gatta - When you trek in the Khumbu region of Nepal, you are surrounded by hundreds of peaks… but one of them always catches the attention more than the others: Ama Dablam. Despite its modest elevation – 22,349 feet, compared to its giant neighbors such as Mt. Everest or Lhotse – Ama Dablam has a unique and beautiful shape that attracts climbers from all over the world.  Jimmy Webb 7th to Send Jade
Video by John Gass - A sending spree on Rocky Mountain National Park's Jade might be in order. Jimmy Webb grabbed the seventh ascent of the Daniel Woods problem on June 8, just weeks after Carlo Traversi climbed its notoriously crimpy sequence. "The weather was basically awful, and I still had two small split tips," blogged Webb. "On my first attempt, though, I surprised myself by sticking the crux move." He then climbed it his second go of the day, even though he "pulled on feeling worse than ever."  Vail Bouldering World Cup Men's Finals
Video by Jon Glassberg / Louder Than 11 - Boulder local Daniel Woods took first at the Bouldering World Cup in Vail, Colorado, on Saturday, the first victory for an American male at Vail in its three years. Woods kept the audience psyched, being the only male to top out two boulders and getting the highpoint on #4. Japan's Tsukuru Hori took second, with Kilian Fischhuber from Austria rounding out the podium.  Vail Bouldering World Cup Women's Finals
Video by Jon Glassberg / Louder than 11 - As the only Bouldering World Cup held on U.S. soil in Vail, Colorado, came to an end Saturday, Belgium's Chloe Graftiaux represented the top spot on the women's podium. The competition was fierce, with all climbers completing the same number of problems and bonus holds, but Graftiaux's fewest attempts in the field decided her win. Anna Stohr from Austria came in a close second, having been in the #1 seat coming into finals.  BD Athlete Alex Honnold in Tuolumne Meadows
Video by Kevin Jaramillo - Black Diamond and The North Face athlete Alex Honnold was filmed making an ascent of the knob-peppered Clash of the Titans (5.13a) in Tuolumne Meadows, California, by Kevin Jaramillo (as part of Jaramillo's current film project). This is a high quality clip that provides some great insight into Honnold's life philosophy, as well as shows how cryptic 5.13 knob pimping is. Learn more about Alex Honnold here.

Dean Potter: Falling to Fly
Video by Prana Living - Dean Potter is characterized by creativity, commitment, and challenge. He started climbing as a child, with a free solo fall from a stone wall as one of his earliest memories. Since that time, he has speed soloed Half Dome and El Capitan, Cerro Torre, and Fitzroy. He was the first to make a one-day free ascent of El Cap and Half Dome, and a one-day speed linkup of both of those big walls and Mount Watkins, Yosemite's third Grade VI wall.
