Climbs around the World

In this post I'll talk briefly about some interesting climbs around the world. The great thing about rock climbing is you can do it just about anywhere. The only limit is your own ability. There are infinite climbing routes for any skill level. Just find a rock face and plot a route and you have yourself a problem. Here are some famous climbs around the world.

Hanshelleren Cave in Flatanger, Norway

Hanshelleren Cave is home to what is often regarded as the most difficult climb in the world. Named (unsurprisingly) Project Hard, it was set by Adam Ondra (pictured above) over the course of 4 years. The climb stretches over 150 feet and was given the rating 5.15d. The previous hardest route was 5.15c which may not seem too different, but it's basically the equivalent of taking 30 seconds off the marathon world record.

Fontainebleau, France

Fontainebleau is considered one of the best bouldering spots in the world. There are plenty of low rock faces which means plenty of possibilities for routes. If you're looking for a bouldering holiday, this is a perfect place to go.
