CLIMBER COMPETING AT THE 24 HOURS OF HORSESHOE HELL. JOSH BEECHER

24 hours of Horseshoe Hell (24HHH) is the wildest event in the climbing world; a mash-up of ultramarathon and Burning Man where elite climbers and gumbies alike go for broke in a sun-up to sun-down orgy of lactic acid and beer. But all fun aside, the competition is real: Can the team of Nik Berry and Mason Earle stand up against the all-powerful Alex Honnold?


HIGH AND MIGHTY 20 mins

DANIEL WOODS ON THE "HIGH BALL" BOULDER PROBLEM THE PROCESS, BISHOP, CA. MAX KRIMMER

High ball bouldering -- where a fall could lead to serious injury -- is not for the faint of heart. Add to the equation a level of difficulty at climbing’s cutting edge, and things can get downright out of control. Follow Daniel Woods’ epic battle to conquer fear and climb the high ball test-piece The Process.
