“ the snow falls relentlessly on the fly of my portaledge. A soft muffled sound. Ironically it reminds me of the sounds of the sand that slides across the beach and recedes with the tide. We hear the wind crashing up against the wall higher above us. ~ Boeing ledge ~ we all understand the name of this high camp on the Torre Central as an other plane is just taking off above us.“

Well that was a big old dream of mine to go up this very special wall, Torre Central, and shoot and climb and live up there for a little bit. Definitely can confirm that type 2 fun situation brings me type 1 inspiration to take photos. And lucky us, Torres Del Pain(e) gave me plenty of opportunities! Thankfull to have climbing partners that don’t mind my camera during suffer fest!!

Very special feeling to see this shot on the cover of issue 90, make sure to read piece « silent reflections, honoring the bold style and legacy of Keita Kurakami with a new route on Greenland’s Miror Wall. »
Last year we spend over 18 days on the wall opening and freeing most of the pitches of Ryu-Shyn 8B - A2+ - R

Buddha’s define enlightenment as « the end of suffering »
But I’m pretty sure we fund the enlightenment during the suffering with this legend team 💫
43 days of enlightenment and suffering to open Ryu-Shin 8b/R/A2+ on the center of the mirror wall in Greenland.
No word to say how much respect I have for my partners. They were absolute machines pushing hard every day during our 17 days on the wall on sub-optimal conditions with more precip then not 🌨️❄️
Impressed and definitely grateful to watch them perform and going 100% to establish this new line and free most of it!!

Incredibly stocked, proud and definitely inspired by this one for pulling off the 4th female ascent of “le voyage” 8b+ (E10) in Annot 🇫🇷

Resilience and hard work, there is not any dream to big for Soline and if you have the chance to climb with her lucky you because it’s contagious ! Can’t wait to see how she will make us dream in the coming years 🔥🔥
