"Corazon De Mallorca"

If you are lucky enough to experience the extreme pleasure of a deep water soloing sojourn to Mallorca, there is a good chance you will meet deep water solo pioneer, Miquel Riera, a veritable living legend. Miquel is one of the coolest guys you could ever hope to meet, with an undying psyche for climbing, women, and partying. I followed Miquel around one day for a trip off the beaten path. This was perhaps the most intimidating day of the trip with rough waters and virgin rock!!! Enjoy the latest Psicoblog. Cheers. Cedar

THE ADVENTURE FILM FESTIVAL

WOOHOOOO Renan and I have both had our original films selected for the Adventure Film Festival in Boulder Colorado!!! We are honored to have made the cut with over 300 films screened! This will the world premiere for my short film "Pra Caramba" that features the best footage you never saw from Brazil!!! Renan's award winning film about suffering in the center of the universe is called SAMSARA. If you have the time we'd really appreciate you coming out for the festival. Adventurefilm.org

CONRAD ANKER "A DAY IN THE LIFE"

This is a short "Day in the Life" video that follows Blue Water Athlete Conrad Anker out for his first time up "The Naked Edge" in Eldorado Canyon, one of the most classic multi pitch 5.11s in Colorado. Conrad has been pushing the limits of Adventure for the last 30 years and is now becoming a fervent advocate of environmental and social responsibility. This piece was created by Renan Ozturk for Black Diamond, but that he was kind enought to share it with us...so enjoy Renan's unique and funky editing and shooting style!!!

"Rocky Mountain High"

Earlier this summer I climbed the Petit Grepon up in Estes Park, with my good friend and legendary climbing photographer John Dickey. I put together the perfect kit to shoot the climb, complete with my sweet new GH1 video camera, and then realized when we had gotten to the base that I had forgotten the battery!!! With no other option I shot the climb with Dickey's less than HD point and shoot, but I still think the end result is worth three minutes of vicarious adventure. Cheers!! Cedar.

"SHIVERER BIVERING" The F.A. of Gorillas in the Mist

So my good buddy Jens Holsten who lives up in Washington just sent me some cool footage which I edited into this short video...this is what he had to say. "This is from a first ascent I just completed on Mt. Stuart-Washington’s largest non-volcanic peak. Myself, along with friends Sol Werkin and Blake Herrington, climbed Gorrillas in the Mist in poor conditions and found ourselves lost on the upper mountain, rime ice forming all around us. Even though all of us have shivered through nights in different parts of the globe, this night was the coldest ever…and on a peak I have climbed so many times. Pretty funny. The cool thing is that we stuck out the night and got a great summit the next morning. It’s crazy how fast you forget all the suffering."

TOMMY CALDWELL "A DAY IN THE LIFE"

So about a month ago I headed up into Rocky Mountain national park to follow Tommy Caldwell around for a typical day on his training schedule. Right now Tommy is training super hard for a free ascent of the nearly blank Mescalito Wall, which if he can pull it off will arguably be the hardest bigwall free climb in the world. If you have ever wondered what makes the hardest El Cap free climber in the world tick, this will give you a good idea of Tommy's training regimen, but also, his passion for the climbing life, and good natured character!

MALLORCA PSICOBLOG!!!

So while I work on the Tommy Video here is a short piece I put together for The North Face that features some wild Deep Water Soloing in Mallorca where I am residing currently...cheers hope you like it!!! Cedar.
