Ice Climbing Trip to the Land of the Rising Sun
A trip to a land where you virtually cannot communicate, where the normal course of life is totally different to the one you are used to and where you are furthermore searching for climbable ice is a real adventure. But eventually this is what Markus Bendler, Hermann Erber and I wanted to face up at the end of this ice climbing season.

Why Yosemite? Answers by Top Climbers
There have been times when I have felt ashamed to be a Yosemite climber, and there are times when I feel as if I truly hate the place; but then there are times when I should rather be there than anywhere else in the world. If at times I hate the place, it is probably because I love it so. It is a strange, passionate love that I feel for this Valley.

Chris Sharma Quotes – Zen Thoughts
"It’s ideal to walk the middle line in life. It’s for sure the way of peace. I’m trying every day to find that way. I get lost on the path that from afar seems so simple. Sometimes I’m too lazy and sometimes I hurry so much. I’d like to be right between those extremes."

The winners of the second edition of prestigious Arco Rock Legends that took place on September 7 in Arco, Italy, were Patxi Usobiaga from Spain and Austrian climber, David Lama. Watch the movies with the winners on climbandmore.com!

Petzl Roc Trips

We present a unique report on last year's Petzl Roc Trips written by Martina Èufar.

Petzl Roc Trip Kalymnos

As soon as I saw a poster of the Kalymnos Roc Trip on the last day in Millau, a smile crossed my heart, and it was not so difficult to leave Millau, because I knew I would be living my dream one more time this year! - Martina Cufar.

Ice Climbing on the Land of Ice
The name of the land itself – “Iceland” – sounded very suspicious to us ice climbers. Anyway suspicious enough to carry out an investigation and get some information about the ice potential of this land. Equipped with countless emails of the very friendly local climbers we - Markus Bendler, Hermann Erber and I – landed in Reykjavik...

Trading (virtual) sex with Miss Fame?
Several people criticized me for participating in the Piolet d’Or ceremony this year. None of them were in Grenoble. Joining this circus gave me the opportunity to present my opinion about the award publicly.
