A climber who witnessed the historic send-go describes the moment the Spanish climber clipped the chains, then interviews him about mindset, the long journey, and the route's name.
This astro-climbing trip is a 1-in-360-year opportunity for climbers
We interview Tim Emmett, 51, who finally ticked ‘Era Vella’ (5.14d) on November 16, about emotional breakdowns and putting it all on the line.
We interviewed Veronica Aimee Chik after she redpointed ‘Fish Eye’ on July 8 in Oliana, Spain, to find out how she pulled it off and what’s next for this motivated climber.
Edu Marín is the first person to send ‘Orbayu’ (8c/5.14b), ‘Arco Iris’ (8c+/5.14c), and ‘Donec Perficiam' (5.14a/b) in Spain.

In a five-week period, Jonathan Siegrist sent two 5.15a's, one 5.14d/5.15a, and two 5.14d's. It was the best trip of his life—but it wasn’t what he’d planned.
As the crag came into view, their spirits soared, then quickly sank: “We began to notice that something was missing,” Tighe said. “The first two bolts from every route.”
