During a climbing trip to Turkey, on a routine day, professional climber Rannveig Aamodt made a small mistake that almost cost her her life. A quick lapse of judgment resulted in a fifty foot fall. Straight down.

Emergency crews evacuated Rannveig by helicopter with fractures to her back, pelvis, both ankles, and countless other injuries; both physically and emotionally.

According to the doctors, she would never properly walk again, and her future surely was not going to involve climbing.

Armed with hope, determination, and a beautiful perspective on life, Rannveig redirected the trajectory of her story.

She proved that her reaction to her situation dictated the course of her future.

Russ Clune is a cornerstone of Black Diamond history and an integral part of climbing’s humble beginnings in America. Recently, BD Athlete Sam Elias paid Clune a visit at his home in the Gunks, where he sampled the historic routes of the past, and attempted a rare ascent of the new-school trad testpiece: Brozone (5.14b). But perhaps the most important thing Sam walked away with, amid all the climbing history lessons, and constant, often hilarious, Clune cliff-banter, was an intimate view into the soul of a man who has dedicated his entire life to climbing. #liveclimbrepeat

BD EMPLOYEE BRENT BARGHAHN ATTEMPTS RING THAT BELL (5.13R) IN BELLS CANYON

The granite of the Wasatch range in Utah is a once-abstracted version of the greater walls of Yosemite—the cracks flare further, lean harder, and the foot holds are not only slippery, but also tend to flake away under pressure. Depending on perspective, this either makes these canyons a horribly stressful and insecure venue to push your limits, or the ultimate training ground for big wall goals.

I personally have sided with the later and heavily base my Salt Lake climbing in Little Cottonwood Canyon. When beginning work as a BD engineer, I was new in town and my lineup of fresh routes to try and onsight seemed never ending. A few years into the ritual of after work outings, I exhausted this genre. My focus then turned to projecting the challenging routes on local granite and adding a few FA’s of my own. I wrote out a list of all the hardest Wasatch test pieces and began putting in the work to gain the skills needed to tick them off.

While technically one canyon over from Little Cottonwood, Ring that Bell shares the same stone and was a shadowy figure on my list. The first ascensionist’s notorious Mountain Project writeup gave descriptions of dynamic movement, insecure climbing, and even a topo of microcam-with-screamer placements to manage the objective danger. I knew this route was unrepeated. I skipped right over it and ticked off higher graded but safer routes before even seriously considering the line, as I am generally not motivated by danger in climbing. Finally, in November of 2019, I felt tuned up on the granite enough to give an attempt in a ground-up style.

Ring that Bell remains a proud line that barely protects with traditional gear. I may not have discouraged Brad’s initial prodding about adding bolts, but I am pleased that it is frozen in its original state. The danger level plays out as a near perfect inverse to physical difficulty throughout the pitch, creating a highly memorable rock climb. I cherish the local granite crags as practice climbing, frequently repeating routes to perfection, being satisfied once I can complete the maneuvers on a whim any given day. Ring that Bell, however, will reside firmly in a different category of one-and-done.

-Brent Barghahn

On July 12, 2018, professional climber, Sasha DiGiulian, set out to become the first woman and second person in history to complete the Rocky Mountain Trilogy, a compilation of three of the hardest 5.14 big walls in the Canadian Rockies. The imposing climbs, on Castle Mountain, Mount Louis, and Mount Yamnuska, respectively will take Sasha 2 months of continued effort with the ultimate goal of ascending each sheer wall in a single day push, with zero falls — a combined average of over 9,000 vertical feet of climbing at a lung-busting average elevation of 7,000ft. Setbacks with climbing partners, a shoulder injury, and mounting wildfires, DiGiulian is faced with ever-increasing obstacles and forced to balance her goals with her safety. This is not only an extraordinarily unique physical journey, but a universal introspective story of overcoming fear, the importance of self-confidence, and in finding friends when and where you least expect them. Pushing through the uncomfortable moments and riding the ups and downs of life, DiGiulian drives herself through mounting fatigue and a closing weather window to strive for her historical goal.

As the world’s premier free soloist and adventure climber, BD Athlete Alex Honnold has a reputation for BIG sends. So, when we were recently invited to check out his latest projects in Red Rock, Nevada, we first imagined endless sandstone pitches with epic vistas from the summits. Then we learned that the “Honnbold” was working on something a little different.
Turns out, you don’t get as confident as Honnold on the rock without broadening your repertoire of moves and expanding your comfort zone. That’s why we found his projects to be a little smaller than we expected.
But as he put it, “It’s all just good practice for the real rock climbing.”
Follow along as we go for a tour of Honnold’s local low balls.
