Five More Things You Didn't Know About...Rifle
The 5.13d/14a Gomorrah (on the Bauhaus Wall) was originally bolted by Pete Zoller. Zoller wired out the bottom section, Liquid Culture, a seeping 5.13a, but later decided to abandon the route.
Allez! Josune Interviewed
This climber from the Basque Country appeared on the climbing competition scene only seven years ago, drown by her fans. Although she prefers isolated climbing in the quite mountains, she is so devoted to the climbing world to even make an appearance in Arco to receive the Slewa Rock Award for her ability to raise the grade of female sport climbing with last year ascents of Bimba Luna 9a+ and Noia 9a, both in Italy.
Allez! Yuji Interviewed
He is the first Asian climber to win a world cup in 2000. He also opened Underground (8c+/9a) at the Falesia di Massone, right outside of Arco that same year. He has a first ascent on Flat Moutain (9a+) in Japan and he is the first man to on-sight a 5.14b, White Zombie this year in Baltzola, Spain.
"Player" Profile: Justin Jaeger
I met September's Player one fall day while bouldering with friends of mine at Mount Baldy in South Dakota. We assumed — as history had taught us — that we'd be alone on Baldy that day; however, Justin and a couple of his Colorado friends walked up the trail, totally surprising us.
Emily Harrington Q&A
I was really excited, but to be honest, I wasn't completely suprised with myself like I was last year at the World Championships. I had worked so hard and I knew I had it in me to compete well and win.
