Philipe Ribière — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 14:16:00 +0100

Le Evolution Tour est un voyage parcourant tous les pays d'Europe, qui s'est terminé il y a quelques mois.

Tous les jours, mes aventures étaient filmées pour préparer un beau journal visuel qui vous sera offert durant l'année 2010.
Nous avons pu nous procurer le teaser fait par la OLD CASA PROD qui nous présente un aperçu du personnage de façon très inspirée et originale.

A recap of the 2010 Ouray Ice Festival, by competitor and instructor Caroline George

Petzl — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 18:32:13 +0100

Five years ago, I got on a plane from Switzerland to come and compete in the world class Ouray Ice Festival. Little did I know how much this event would change my life. Upon arriving here, I drove to Telluride to climb the classic Ames Ice Hose, a striking WI5 three pitch line. While rappelling the route, I mistakingly dropped my ice axes, which almost took out the leader of the party below. I apologized, he forgave me and six months later, we were married.

A mid-winter update, by Joe Kinder

Petzl — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 20:02:20 +0100

Most of the year I travel and don’t occupy any living quarters for more than a month. It takes a getting used to if you aren’t accustomed this sort of life but, I assure you as well…it is bliss. The past 6 months I have been in France, Spain, Colorado, Utah, Texas, and even New Mexico. All for climbing.

Planning a tropical climbing vacation this winter? Beware of those anchors!

Petzl America — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 22:58:49 +0100

Winter is basically here and it’s the time of year when people start heading off on climbing trips to warmer climes…particularly popular are those dreamy, tropical oceanside crags in Thailand, Vietnam, the Dominican Republic, etc. But before you go trusting those bolts and anchors, BEWARE!

Indian's trip - Girivihar Competition

Michaël Fuselier — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 11:51:00 +0100

Après la formation des équipeurs, le trip se poursuit et nous amène jusqu'à Belapur, où a lieu l'open de bloc. Ici l'ambiance de compète est particulière et un peu ''freestyle'', mais cela n'enlève rien à la qualité de l'ouverture.

Après quelques heures d'isolement, je pars dans le circuit de qualif'. Bien soutenu et encouragé par les Indiens, je sors tous les blocs à vue. Idem pour la 1/2 finale.

Michaël Fuselier — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 17:28:00 +0100

Notre petit trip autour de Mumbai continue. En plus de leur très grande amabilité, les Indiens ont la gentillesse de nous ''driver'' tous les jours.

Nous avons ainsi bartassé 3/4h dans la jungle et bravé tous ses dangers pour dénicher un bloc magnifique.

Juju Nadiras et moi venons d'arriver a Mumbay.
Dans quelques jours Erwan nous rejoindra puis nous donnerons aux indiens une formation sur l'equipement en falaise.
Aujourd'hui, nous sommes aller reperer un site pres de Mumbay pour la formation, mais il semblerait que ce ne soit pas le meilleur spot qui soit...nous irons en voir un autre demain.
Une fois autonomes, nous partirons avec les indiens du cote de bangalor pour equiper et developper un nouveau site. on devrait y trouver de belles falaises et de nombreux blocs.
