Lac Long

Escalade Portneuf Facebook

Un bijou caché dans le coeur de Portneuf, la falaise du lac Long offre une centaine de voies de different styles dans un milieu enchanteur. La majorité des parcours sont en trad ou en mixte mais on y retrouve assez de voies sportives pour meubler quelques visites. Les grimpeurs capables de leader du 5.10 en montant auront plus de choix car pour l’instant le nombre de voies faciles est limité. Dans ce guide nous proposons l’information nécessaire pour s’orienter mais pas plus, afin de préserver un sentiment de découverte et d’aventure. Un rocher excellent, une falaise ensoleillée et mystérieuse, de la baignade et du camping… qu’attendez-vous? ENGLISH : We hope to have an English-language version of the rakkup guidebook available soon.

Buffalo Pass is the mecca for backcountry sled-skiers in the Rockies. Nestled in the Park Range of the Rocky Mountains near Steamboat Springs, it is one of the only places in the world where you can drive 15 minutes from a resort, unload a trailer full of snowmobiles, and have a 55-mile network of maintained snow roads on public lands dedicated to mechanized skiing from mid-December til Gaper Day.
The orientation of Buff Pass makes it favorable for significant orographic snowfall in zonal flow, particularly northwest flow patterns. The frigid air from northwest Colorado adds to the magic of “Fluffalo Pass” by providing consistent light and blower powder all winter long. To top it off, Buff Pass competes with Wolf Creek Pass every season for having the deepest snowpack in Colorado. Buffalo Pass also has access to some of the best tree skiing in the world, varying from widely spaced and naturally gladed aspens in mellow terrain to tight and technical aspens and evergreens guaranteed to test any skier.The area boasts some of the oldest and largest old growth aspens in Colorado.There are several stands on the pass that are renowned for their top to bottom skiing amongst quaking aspens such as Forester’s Aspens, Double A’s, GalaxyTrees, and Quaker Bowl. However, the gem of Buff Pass is Soda Mountain. When the skies rip to blue, locals and tourists alike flock to the highest point on the pass for steep chutes, big drops, and technical terrain in Buff Pass’s deep, world class powder.

Oman: Deep Water Soloing by Jamie Moss & Larry Michienzi Climbing in Oman Facebook Muscat Sport Climbing Guidebook | Sharaf Al Alameyn Sport Climbing Guidebook

Muscat in the Sultanate of Oman might be the only capital city in the world with high quality deep-water soloing within the city limits. DWS makes perfect sense in Muscat with its complex rocky coastline surrounded by a warm calm Indian Ocean. Oman has an enviable climate making DWS a year-round pursuit. This guide details over 200 routes across the three most accessible cliffs developed so far. Some sectors are lowball and bouldery in nature and provide a great introduction to the sport (V0-V7), whereas other are taller and more committing (F5-F8a/5.7-5.13b).

Horse Pens 40 Bouldering
by Adam Henry
Published by Rockery Press

Sculpted by the ravages of time, Horse Pens 40 is home to acres of bulbous faces, blunt prows, delicate slabs, crimpy overhangs, and water grooves. The owners, Mike and Gina Schultz, are models for southern hospitality. Mike is one of the best storytellers you will ever meet, while Gina slings some of the meanest country cooking you will ever encounter. HP provides the maximum amount of problems for the least amount of effort. If you are in search of the double digit line, you might want to “go west young man,” because the area lacks the soft sends needed to pad the spraycard. With over 100+ lines from V3-V5 and the same amount from V6-V8, this is the moderate climbers dream come true. Horse Pens is the Fontainebleau of the South, without the arrogance and the stench. Either for a day, a week, or a season, your trip to HP will have you wanting of more. If the weather permits, this is as good as it gets.
