My climbing blog

Setting out to name America’s top-ten crags is a dubious goal. For starters, you just know that somebody is going to get all huffy puffy when their stomping ground doesn’t make the cut. And then there will be the wars over semantics. What qualifies as a crag? What doesn’t? How important is history, aesthetics, rock quality? No matter what, you’re bound to piss people off. Still, you might as well try. Because YOLO. For the purpose of this article, I am setting down some ground rules. 1 By crag, I mean an area used predominantly for single-pitch or Grade I–II routes. You know, the kind of multipitch where you don’t bring a water bottle. That means that even though Alex Honnold can climb El Cap in a cool two hours, for most of us, places like Yosemite, Zion, and Red Rocks are out. 2 By cragging, I mean not bouldering.  3 The past matters. There’s something special about climbing at an area steeped in legend and lore. Places with long and storied h...

10 Most Dangerous Mountains 1. Annapurna in Central Nepal (26,545 feet) On this mountain, the 10th highest in the world, 191 climbers have summited the avalanche-prone peak. About 63 have died climbing – making Annapurna’s fatality rate of 33 percent the highest among 8,000-meter mountains. While Annapurna was the first 8,000-meter peak to be climbed, it remains a challenge and an attraction. The region surrounding Annapurna is popular for hiking and was the site of what many call “Nepal’s worst-ever trekking disaster.” In 2014, a snowstorm struck, causing avalanches and the deaths of 43 people. Almost 6 feet of snow fell in 12 hours, and more than 500  people needed rescue. 2. Nanga Parbat in Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan (26,657 feet) Known affectionately as Killer Mountain, this craggy monster in Pakistan is an enormous ridge of rock and ice. Nanga Parbat is the ninth highest in the world, and its southern side is what many call the tallest mountain face on the planet. Th...

Not only Spiderman can climb buildings.  If you walk along Eje Central (at the height of the Metro) you will find a glass-covered construction where you can see the highest climbing wall in Latin America, do you dare to copy Spider-Man?  Upon arrival, the 36 meters of fiberglass that simulate a rocky texture, threatens anyone, but the service is so fast that you do not have time to hesitate, in the blink of an eye you are already climbing the wall.  At the beginning, the instructor asks you if you have ever climbed, it does not matter what you answer because the only indications are: "you can step on such structures and you have three opportunities to rest, since on the fourth we will automatically lower you".  Held by a rope (secured in counterweight by an instructor) you can choose to climb the part of the wall six meters high, if you are a beginner, 22, for the most daring or 36, only for experts.  In total there are 14 different routes to climb and you can g...

  CAN YOU NAME THE TOP 10 HIGHEST MOUNTAINS IN THE WORLD? The highest mountain in the world is Mount Everest. It’s pretty famous. Big pointy thing in the Himalayas in Nepal. Sits up at 8,848m. It’s a real high mountain. Everyone knows about Mount Everest. Most people also know the second highest mountain in the world is K2. But very few people know the third highest mountain in the world is called Kangchenjunga. Or how to spell that. It’s not quite as simple as ‘K2’, that’s for sure. So how many of the highest mountains in the world do you really know? By the time you get onto the rest of the 10 highest mountains in the world, most don’t have a clue. Why would you? Mount Everest is hogging all the fame. And the more commonly known Seven Summits – the highest mountains on each of the seven continents in the world – don’t make much of an appearance on this list. A top 10 of the world’s highest mountains contains itself exclusively to Asia. 1. MOUNT EVEREST, HIMALAYAS, NEPAL/TIBET AUT...

  First of all I need to say that there are different things that inspired me to climb different mountains with characteristics like covered eyes,no equipment ,even naked or in extreme conditions I’ve been described by many people like an eccentric and obsessed that gave me a little bit of fame in the community of the climbing,money and invitations of different nations to climb their most representative mountains but it has been not the main reason also it’s because I really love this stuff since I was a child ,since I was to small starting     climbing mountains with my father he transferred it’s advices and the love of this activity to me . But I always wanted to be different of the thousands and thousands of climbers because there are many kind of climbers the beginners that always want to climb faster as they can, there is other group that make a lot of physical training and none of mental and also the experienced climbers those whose have many years in the activity a...
