Michelin Wall (Bridal Veil area under Via Ferrata Main Event) 1) Trans Lunar Injection Burn, 5.11-, 3 Pitches. FA: DJ, MD, (DJ, CF, MD on Pitch 1; DJ & MD on pitches 2 & 3). Pitch 1, 5.10-, (full 60m pitch) heads up a face to the right of the large broken-up (chossy) corner. Once you hit the steep head wall (just over 1/2 way up), head left into the crack for a few moves (you will use the crack for protection from here up. Traverse right across the ledge (second from the highest ledge) to the anchor. Gear 12 QD’s and two anchor rigs. Protection: .5 to #4 Camalots. Pitch 2, 5.11-,heads up the buttress 105’ to the next anchor (crux pitch). You can leave you natural gear from here on out and retrieve it on the way down—just draws and anchors. Pitch 3, 5.9+, 100’. Continue up the steep headwall for a few moves to the slab above. The grade backs off and the bolts are further part (PG 13, say). There is a small 4th pitch that leads to the large ledge above (I am recommending that climbers rap rather than walk off this route—mostly to avoid dropping rocks below-low 5th class down climbing/4th class should be expected). Rap. 2) Thunder Road, 5.9+, 1 Pitch (for now). FA: DJ, MD, CF, DC 6-06. This is a fun warm-up. 13 draws and something for the anchor. Fun route! Rap. 3) Zen Lemonade, 5.11-, 3 Pitches. Pitch 1, begin by climbing a roof to a steep face—100’. Pitch 2, head up and slightly left into the base of the large corner (the crux is climbing into the corner from below) 100’. Pitch 3, continues up the corner for a few body lengths then heads out and right onto the face (bolts) 100’. Gear: thin to wide hands, 12 draws, and two anchor rigs. Rap. FA: DJ, MD, CF 6-06. 4) Hokey Pokey, 5.9+ R, 1 Pitch (for now). Climb the left facing corner for 100’. Gear: lots of hands to OW (bring the big stuff). There are no bolts on this route but there may end up being a few in the near future as the OW is almost chimney like in a few places. Routes 5—8 are east (up hill…not in photo). Charlie and Chris established a 4 pitch arête route that goes at 5.11…and they did a few single pitches to the right (east) of that..

2. the Climbing Gym Industry and Oslo Klatresenter As
Norwegian School of Economics Bergen, Spring 2021 Valuation of Oslo Klatresenter AS A fundamental analysis of a Norwegian climbing gym company Kristoffer Arne Adolfsen Supervisor: Tommy Stamland Master thesis, Economics and Business Administration, Financial Economics NORWEGIAN SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS This thesis was written as a part of the Master of Science in Economics and Business Administration at NHH. Please note that neither the institution nor the examiners are responsible − through the approval of this thesis − for the theories and methods used, or results and conclusions drawn in this work. 2 Abstract The main goal of this master thesis is to estimate the intrinsic value of one share in Oslo Klatresenter AS as of the 2nd of May 2021. The fundamental valuation technique of adjusted present value was selected as the preferred valuation method. In addition, a relative valuation was performed to supplement the primary fundamental valuation. This thesis found that the climbing gym market in Oslo is likely to enjoy a significant growth rate in the coming years, with a forecasted compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in sales volume of 6,76% from 2019 to 2033. From there, the market growth rate is assumed to have reached a steady-state of 3,50%. The period, however, starts with a reduced market size in 2020 and an expected low growth rate from 2020 to 2021 because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Based on this and an assumed new competing climbing gym opening at the beginning of 2026, OKS AS revenue is forecasted to grow with a CAGR of 4,60% from 2019 to 2033.

Kiwi Canyons Grading Table
Kiwi Canyons Grading Introduction The modern sport of canyoning has its roots strongly centered in Europe, and in particular France. As the sport began to really take off, a number of French Outdoor Associations standardised their grading systems in 2003. The gradings presented here are the English translation of those agreed on by the French Federation of Mountain Climbing (FFME), with support from the French Federation of Speleology (FFS) in conjunction with the National Union of Mountain Guides (SNGM), the National Union of Professionals Climbing and Canyoning (SNAPEC), the National Union of Professional Speoleogy and Canyoning (SNPSC) and the Federation of French Alpine Clubs (FCAF). There are several different canyon grading systems around the world, as our canyons are most similar to the European ones, the French grading system is used in NZ as it aligns with ‘best international practice’. Grading any technical activity is always an exercise in compromise. The grading is indicative of the most difficult section of the canyon and reflects the technical skill required to descend that part. In the grade, there is no way to distinguish between a canyon with one difficult section and another canyon where the whole canyon has difficult drop after difficult drop. The gradings must be used in conjunction with route descriptions and CanyonTopo to gain a better understanding of the overall difficulty of the trip. Remember that Canyons change with every flood, to the point that the initial grade may change. Assumptions The gradings here assume the following; An average water flow for the usual season that particular canyon is descended.

Situated at the borderlands between Austria, Liechtenstein, and Switzerland, the region is saturated with world class climbing. Routes are famous for being exposed and isolated, with large run outs and long walk-ins. After dreaming of tip-toeing up the massive wall of the Kirchlispitzen for the past four years, in summer 2015, with the support of Imperial college Exploration board we finally set off for that soaring limestone face. The Rätikon was everything we hoped for and more. Crazily technical climbing on stunning rock terrified and thrilled us in equal measure. However, heartbreakingly, we never made it to the Kirchlispitzen. Our van had major problems just 500m before reaching the base camp area for the climbs. Unable to go on and unable to leave the van blocking the road we were forced to retreat back down to the valley, and, after much deliberation we fled to the flatland of the Frankenjura forest in Germany, climbing there for the rest of the trip.

LECTURE #5 Glacier Travel & Crevasse Rescue Pt
Basic Rock & Glacier Climbing Course 2018 – Tacoma Mountaineers LECTURE #5 Glacier Travel & Crevasse Rescue Pt. 2 Lecture 5 Topics Glacier Travel Crevasse Rescue What to Expect on Glacier Climbs Field Trip Leader Q & A (Field Trips 5, 6P, 6/7) Assigned Reading (complete prior to Lecture #5) The Freedom of the Hills, 9th edition Glacier Travel & Crevasse Rescue Chapter 18 Mountain Geology Chapter 26 The Cycle of Snow Chapter 27 Basic Rock & Glacier Climbing Course Manual All Lecture #5 Material GLACIER TRAVEL & CREVASSE RESCUE OVERVIEW Glacier travel employs all the techniques used in snow travel with one major addition, navigating crevasses. Crevasses are vertical ice trenches in the snow, which are very hazardous and ready to trap the careless climber. They tend to stay hidden until later in the season when the snow melts and collapses into the crevasse. If the snow coverage is thick and strong you will likely walk right over the crevasse and never know it. Sometimes a visible crevasse will have a snow bridge that you can cross if it’s strong enough, but the real hazard is the crevasse with just a weak thin covering of snow that will not support a climber’s weight. It is not always the lead climber that breaks through, it may be the second or third or even the next rope team. You never know. That’s why you ALWAYS ROPE-UP WHEN TRAVELING ON A GLACIER and keep the rope fully extended. It’s ideal to have three climbers per rope and at least two teams, so if you have to perform a rescue, it is much faster and easier.

Sauratown Mountain
Sauratown Mountain Cover photos: Daniel Chambo on Shock the Monkey and Anna Chapman on Barbs World/Leisure Time. Photo credits, Jeff Dunbar on Shock the Monkey and Emil Briggs on Barbs World. The Carolina Climbers Coalition has reached an agreement with the owners of Sauratown, previously one of the most popular winter destinations in the NC Piedmont. Home to a number of classic trad lines and many excellent sport routes, the area has been closed for years due to a variety of factors. If you've never climbed at Sauratown it's the best winter cragging in the Piedmont - steep and pumpy on incredible rock. If you used to climb there and haven't for the 5+ years it's been closed, welcome back it's just like your forearms remember it! IMPORTANT! Access will ONLY be allowed from December 1 to March 31st and is 7 days a week. Please do not jeopardize all of the hard work that has gone into this by trying to go to Sauratown at any other time. The cliff remains closed except for those times. Don't be the person who gets the gate slammed in our face. Seriously, don't. Many thanks to Camp Hanes, who has partnered with us on this and to the climbers who humped stainless steel up the trail and replaced 30+ bolts and anchors, flagged trail and cleaned up the base of the cliff. We wouldn't be having as much fun as we're going to have without your help. There is a fee associated with this agreement that the CCC is paying to get everyone access to the property.
