La Marroncita
The good times have kept on rolling here in Spain. Here’s a shot I did of Monique on La Marroncita, a really beautiful and long 8b (31) which she did a few weeks ago at Oliana.

Rock Magazine
And some good press for local (Blue Mountains) talent Matt Norgrove, here on Moonshadow, his first 33. Earlier I mentioned how Matt has carved it up lately. Since then he has cranked Mechanical Animals (33), he’s certainly on a roll . Thanks to Rock Magazine for another cover!

Grimper Magazine
Another cover, this one the French magazine Grimper with Spanish climber Daila Ojeda smashing the glass ceiling on Mind Control (8c+) at Oliana. This shot found it’s way into print very quickly. I mentioned Daila’s climb in my recent post here. Thanks to Daila and Grimper!

Ascent 2012
I’ve scored some covers recently. Firstly, here is the 2012 issue of Ascent. Very stoked about this one! The photo is of Monique run-out to the max on the extraordinary 60-metre tufa route Tom et je Ris in Verdon Gorge, France, which I wrote about earlier here and there’s the video here. Ascent is Rock [...]

Vertical Life
Australia has a new online climbing zine, Vertical Life! You can see it all here. I really like the work that Simon Madden and Ross Taylor have put into this so far – looks great guys. They say they plan to put out a printed annual, looking forward to seeing that too. I reckon it’s [...]

Fish Eye!
At last I’m really stoked to announce some good news of our own from Oliana, Spain. On Monday Monique sent Chris Sharma’s uber-classic Fish Eye. It’s her first 8c, or Australian 33, graded route. It proved to be a hard and frustrating process, but I think that just has made it all the more satisfying [...]

So yes, we are back in Catalunya, Spain, for a bit. We had such a good time here last year, we thought, well, why not? And wow, what an amazing time it is to be here. The climbing is great and there has been so much going on, it’s a really fun place to be. [...]

Nory’s Moonshadow
Matt “Nory” Norgrove has been making his mark in the Blue Mountains of late. On the rock he has been ripping it up and has steadily accumulated an exceptional tick list of ultra-hard routes: lots of 31’s and 32’s, some rarely repeated, many in fast time — the list is too long to get into [...]

Weekend Australian
Had a really nice write up — and double-page spread — in the Weekend Australian Magazine. Sweet! This is what it says: Fifteen years ago, when Monique Forestier was just starting out as a rock climber, she saw a photo that changed her life. Taken by the renowned climbing photographer Simon Carter, it depicted an [...]
