WATCH: Vertical Sailing Greenland
An inspiring and entertaining bit of expedition climbing that managed to pull in a well-deserved 2011 Piolet d’Or. These guys seem like a lot of fun. Climbers Nico Favresse, Olivier Favresse, Seán Villanueva and Ben Ditto head out with 75 year-old Captain Bob Shepton on his 33-foot sailboat in search of unclimbed big walls rising out of Greenland’s fjords. Catch the whole 5-part video series over at Patagonia.
WATCH: The Love Letter
Fitz Cahall is slaying it. It’s been a real trip watching his list of projects grow, from simply noticing his articles in climbing rags, to the last few years of The Dirtbag Diaries, to The Season, Tracing the Edge, and Fringe Elements. Just last week or so he and his wife Becca released a more personal, emotive project called The Love Letter, which follows the pair in an epic trip across the Sierras and ponders on the importance of wilderness in one’s everyday life. It works well – and definitely a different approach as far as these little outdoor adventure narrative pieces go. Fitz is a darn good storyteller, and I’m already looking forward to his next project.
P.S. – If you have a love letter to share with a person or place, you can do so on their Facebook page…

WATCH: Towers of the Ennedi
Beautiful work from Camp4Collective. Story, emotion, characters, location – it all works. Can’t wait to see more of what these guys pull together in the future.
