Paul Robinson: Red Rockin

After visiting Red Rocks so many times, I cannot believe that there is still so much potential for new boulders to be climbed. Each canyon seems to have a new turn or a new corridor to walk through that lends itself to a new boulder and a new feature that can become a first ascent. Every time I go back to Red Rocks, it never feels stale or like I have done everything. I know that with a little bit more walking and a little bit more exploring there will always be a new line to be done. There is a lifetime of climbing there on some of the best rock in the world. I am already so excited to get back again soon! ~prAna Ambassador Paul Robinson

Adam Ondra 9a first ascent

Black Diamond athlete Adam Ondra made the first ascent of Chaxi Raxi, a massive 9b line at Oliana, Spain in late April. This is likely one of the hardest sport climb in the world. We had Bernardo Gimenez on the scene to document Adam’s efforts and he was fortunate enough to be there for the redpoint. Below is the outstanding video Bernardo edited together, as well as brief recap from Adam. Stunning. Impressive. Inspiring. Absolutely bad ass. Congratulations, Adam.
