How to Start and Advance Your Alpine Climbing Trajectory

Since humans could walk, we’ve been summiting mountains. Alpine climbing is one of the purest and most rewarding experiences you could have in the great outdoors. Nothing beats the rush of pushing your body and mind in a spectacular montane environment. It’s not only about reaching the top, though. It’s about being one with the wilderness. About learning to respect the mountain and the legacy of those that came before. Getting to know the person on the other side of that rope, as well as yourself. However, going from non-climber nor weekend cragger to peak bagger is no small feat. If you don’t want your ascent to go downhill, you’ll need to learn challenging movement techniques, master a wide variety of gear, garner extensive experience on variable terrain, and much more. We don’t want to leave you aspiring alpinists hanging, which is why we’re hosting a FREE WEBINAR on starting and progressing your alpine climbing! Learn how to take your first steps into the world of alpine climbing, as well as advance your alpine skills to the next level, from an expert IFMGA guide with years of experience leading expeditions all over the world.

Central Mexico’s Hidden Gems of Rock Climbing

One thing rock climbers are always looking for are fresh areas to explore. From newly-bolted routes, undiscovered crags, and pristine walls, Central Mexico has all of that in spades. Here to tell you all about its hidden gems is Climbing Guide, Simeon Heimowitz.

What he found were the exhilarating multi-pitch climbs of Peña de Bernal, the tallest monolith in the world; the intricate rhyolite cracks of Cascada de la Concepción, a secluded spot shielded by a massive waterfall; and the cobbled conglomerate of Las Peñas de Dexcani, whose staggering cliffs were formed by ancient eruptions. To Simeon it was clear as day—Central Mexico is a treasure trove of world-class climbing. Mexico is teeming with North America’s next great winter climbing destinations. If you’re looking for tons of new options, pre-polish-and-crowds, Central Mexico is your ticket this Rocktober and FA-vember.
