Ted Kingsnorth's climbing (Cover Photo - redpoint attempt on True North, July 2016 - Pic: Ramon Marin). Saturday, 22 June 2013. Well some of the dust has settled since I finally managed to complete the extension last sunday so now seems as good a time as any to set down some thoughts. Hopefully the following will cause others to get psyched and get out there to send some things at their personal limit! This might be a bit long for some tastes but if so, just skip to the last paragraph! Evening sessions a...

Ted Kingsnorth's climbing (Cover Photo - redpoint attempt on True North, July 2016 - Pic: Ramon Marin). Friday, 31 July 2015. Hajj and future projects.

Video Still courtesy of Jon Clark - the crux of Hajj. So, what made the difference to doing Hajj in the end after trying it extensively last year? My own video of an attempt from last year. Also, I ...

Gašper Pintar: September 2014
http://pinticlimbs.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Cover photo by Luka Tambača. Thursday, September 25, 2014. Petzl Roctrip: the birth of a king line. A lot has been developed and people are strolling deeper in the woods to find new good looking blocks of granite, waiting to be cleaned and climbed. Yet sometimes a king line awaits right in front of us. Maybe it's by coincidence, maybe it's waiting for the one strong climber who will see the potential line and have the balls to do it. A crowd of observers and spotters gathered to watch the breathtaking as...

Gašper Pintar: August 2015
http://pinticlimbs.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Cover photo by Luka Tambača. Saturday, August 1, 2015. As we exited the funicular building on Punta Helbronner I let the thin air hit my lungs. My backpack felt heavier still and I felt a bit dizzy after getting up early. Seeing this after some walk, it all starts making sense. Grand Capucin is the tallest peak in the picture. The mist rolls in, not sure if it's a good sign. The Trident du Tacul - great cracks in an incredible setting! Dave seconding a nice dihedral pitch. Big shoutout and thanks to the ...

Gašper Pintar: July 2015
http://pinticlimbs.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Cover photo by Luka Tambača. Sunday, July 19, 2015. Life really gets simple when the sole question is what rock to climb. Even more so when the goal is just to go out and be challenged. Numbers and grades have burdened my climbing character enough earlier. This is not a cliche statement about enjoying climbing over chasing grades,. I'm just psyched on how natural it has become to scale rock. Kruder on the first, bouldery 8a pitch. 7.45 AM, it felt unreal to be crimping that early. Cruxy in the start of t...

Gašper Pintar: January 2015
http://pinticlimbs.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Cover photo by Luka Tambača. Sunday, January 18, 2015. The blog is experiencing its usual winter-exam-period downtime and so am I, gutted to be inside studying with so many nice days offering great climbing everywhere. But hopefully things will work out and I'll be back to the rock in a few weeks. I'm a daydreamer type of guy so I suspect it may prove too big to handle, but even ticking some of them would be great. Thanks to anyone stopping by and ever taking a glance at it. As obsessive as this must sou...
