Austrian Kilian Fischhuber and Belgium's Chloe Graftiaux were second on the podium, with Korean Kim Jain and Japan's Hori Tsukuru following with bronze. Ama Dablam in the Khumbu Region Photos by Philippe Gatta - This spring, Philippe Gatta and Jean-Marc Wojcik climbed Ama Dablam (22,493 feet), one of the most amazing peaks in the Khumbu region in Nepal. The two French climbers made a fast expedition – a 16-day round trip from Katmandu. They climbed the Southwest Ridge (VI 5.9 60°, 1,500 m) without Sherpa support and in rather unstable weather. On May 3rd, after 24 hours of snow fall, they took advantage of a short weather improvement to go for the summit. They decided to go straight from the camp 2 (19,685 feet), skipping the exposed camp 3. Jean-Marc decided to turn around at 6,300 meters, and Philippe continued alone. The weather deteriorated again, and Philippe reached the top in poor visibility at 3:15 p.m., making the 3rd ascent this year. Hot Rock Climbing Expedition 4: Uganda Uganda is that lazy-paced, sunny, reggae-filled African country, with that old Bob Marley/Caribbean vibe. The people are super-friendly, laidback, and always smiling and helpful. This is the most relaxed place we have visited so far. Our first stop was at Jinja, an adventure seekers' paradise, with its world’s tallest bangi-jump and some of the planet’s gnarliest kayaking, and even rafting on class 5 rapids. Vibram Natural Games 2010 Vibram Natural Games will be back from the 24th of June to the 27th of June 2010 in Millau, the European outdoor sports capital. This year, the Gravity Trip, much more eclectic, will succeed the Roc trip. Besides a gathering at the Boffi’s cliff, there will be a bouldering contest on the Official Village (the event’s center). This year, novelties appear: For the cliff, Ultimate routes could be tried by all the competitors and not only by professional climbers. HomoClimbtastic Trip to the New River Gorge HomoClimbtastic returns to the New River Gorge for four extraordinary days of climbing and homo-socializing in the mountains of West Virginia. The New River Gorge is one of the premier sport/trad climbing areas in North America, with more than 2,500 established routes on beautiful white, orange, and purple sandstone walls.
