After his northern Spain rampage in April, Adam Ondra heads down to southern Spain in May with his father to have a go at Chilam Balam, a wildly overhanging, 80-plus meter long, traversing route that was famously graded 9b+(15b) by its first ascentionist, Bernabe Fernandez. It had never seen a repeat—until Adam showed up and dispatched the stunning line in a handful of tries (check out the rowdy runouts when he starts skipping clips!). Next up was an undone project to the right: a tufa and micro-crimp line that would prove to be more demanding than its well-known neighbor. Adam eventually redpointed the line, naming it La Planta de Shiva and grading it 9b. Two weeks... two of the hardest sport climbs in the world dispatched.

Black Diamond athlete Alex Honnold lives in his van. Sometimes down by the river, sometimes not. Last summer 2010 he and his van spent a considerable amount of time enjoying the granite sweetness of Squamish, British Columbia. Here is a video that Alex's fellow BD athlete Cedar Wright put together, which does an excellent job of developing Alex's dry, self-deprecating humor and his philosophies on climbing, life, and caloric intake.
