Bronwyn Hodgins has clipped the chains of La Rubia 8c+ (5.14c) in Spain on Wednesday February 28th! A huge accomplishment for the Canadian climber, who is more known in the climbing world for her big wall free climbing and remote first ascents. After three back-to-back big wall expeditions in 2022, Bronwyn was feeling burnt-out from expedition stress and logistics. A little lost for motivation she travelled to Spain to climb tufas and improve her Spanish, and soon found herself wondering how hard she might be able to climb if she put her intense focus into training and sport projecting... She set her sights on La Rubia 11 months ago, when she began working with a coach Maddy Cope. She dedicated herself to training for 8 months and then spent 2.5 months living in southern Spain working on the line itself. “It was hugely intimidating arriving at La Rubia, having only climbed one 8b+ and a handful of 8b’s. I definitely felt like maybe I had dreamed a little too big this time! But over the course of the season I slowly ticked away at more manageable chunks of the route until I was finally able to put it all together. The mental aspect was really tough. I felt like I had some of the tools from big wall free climbing such as performing well under pressure and sequence visualization and execution, but I had no experience in sticking with a project for anywhere near this long. At the same time, I continued to make progress pretty much every time I tied in which was super motivating. The route is 55m long, and steep with many knee-bar rests in the top half, which also gives a lot of opportunity to overthink things and get nervous. On the send go, I climbed super smoothly and faster-than-ever all the way up to the final bolt (where I’d fallen on my last attempt a few days earlier). I tactically skipped the final knee bar so that I didn’t interrupt my mental flow and launched myself with all I had left for the big move just next to the chains. I still can’t believe my fingers latched onto that hold!” A big congratulations to Bronwyn, it seems anything is possible if you put your mind to it! 🧗‍♂️ @bronwynhodgins 📸 @julia.cassou #lasportiva #climbing

LET'S RUN IN THE MOUNTAINS WITH LA SPORTIVA (@LASPORTIVAGRAM ) I could not be more stoked to announce my new partnership with #LaSportiva (@lasportivana ) as I strive to be the world's best high altitude mountain runner. It has been a truly unexpected honor to be able to make my living as a professional athlete for the last 10 years. Let's do it for at least another 10. LaSpo is maybe the only other brand of footwear (Other than my previous sponsor) I've worn in this past decade (including to the summit of Manaslu, 26,781 ft / 8163m), as they are the obvious front-runner in high altitude mountaineering footwear. I have LOVED getting to try not only the giant 8000m Olympus Mons boots, but some of the ultra-light and quick mountain shoes and boots like the Aequilibrium Speed that I just wore up 5790m Cayambe Volcano. There are a lot of big mountains in my future and I am so happy to have La Sportiva on my feet (and the rest of my body) to help. Huge thanks to all of my family, friends, and fans who have believed in me and helped make this possible, especially the @RXR_Sports team and Kelsey Q. at LaSpo. There's so much more to come. Stay with us. #HereComesChaski #ForYourMountain

Aletheia D16⁠ ⁠ Last week La Sportiva athlete @lindlaukevin made history as the first American to climb the hardest dry tooling grade in the world when he clipped the chains for the second ascent of Aletheia in Belluno, Italy. More than just a 20 bolt pumpfest, Aletheia features some of the hardest individual moves ever done dry tooling. Big congrats to Kevin!⁠ ⁠ 📸 @mtnghoststudio
