Fred Rouhling
Fred Rouhling (born 24 January 1970) is a French rock climber and boulderer, noted for creating and repeating some of the earliest grade sport climbing routes in the world, including ''Hugh'' in 1993, the first-ever French sport route. Rouhling is also known for the controversy from his proposed grading of for his 1995 route ', which would have made it the world's first-ever 9b-graded sport route; 25 years later, it was graded at . Early life Rouhling grew up in the small French farming town of Le Panissaud. His neighboring village of Vilhonneur has a limestone quarry (which supplied materials for the Statue of Liberty). Twenty minutes away is the larger town of Angoulême, where limestone crags overhang many of the roads, with the best-known being Les Eaux Claires ("The Clear Waters"), with 15 to 20-metre overhanging extreme routes that require strong fingers to manage the small pockets used to ascend them; and contains nationally-regarded extreme routes such as ''La Crépin ...

List Of Best IFSC Results
This is a ranking of total career IFSC victories obtained in the annual IFSC Climbing World Cup and the biennial IFSC Climbing World Championships, which were organized by the International Climbing and Mountaineering Federation (from 1989 to 2006), and the International Federation of Sport Climbing (since 2007). Climbers are ranked based on the total number of victories (i.e. won the biennial Championship or won the overall annual Cup) obtained throughout their competition climbing career across all four disciplines: Lead climbing, Bouldering, Speed climbing, and the Combined discipline, in these two events. Comparison with IFSC rankings This list is distinct from the IFSC World Rankings, which are computed separately for each of the four disciplines (i.e. Lead, Bouldering, Speed), and are based on the sum of all results, and not just victories, achieved by each athlete in the last twelve months. Most career IFSC gold medals is a metric that is tracked by the climbing media, as w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
History Of Rock Climbing
In the history of rock climbing, the three main sub-disciplines: bouldering, single-pitch climbing, and big wall (or multi-pitch) climbing can trace their origins to late 19th-century Europe. Bouldering started in Fontainebleau, and was advanced by Pierre Allain in the 1930s, and John Gill in the 1950s. Big wall climbing started in the Dolomites, and was spread across the Alps in the 1930s by climbers such as Emilio Comici and Riccardo Cassin, and in the 1950s by Walter Bonatti, before reaching Yosemite where it was led in the 1950s to 1970s by climbers such as Royal Robbins. Single-pitch climbing started pre-1900 in both the Lake District and in Saxony, and by the 1970s had spread widely with climbers such as Ron Fawcett (Britain), Bernd Arnold (Germany), Patrick Berhault (France), Ron Kauk and John Bachar (USA), As a free solo exercise with no artificial aid or climbing protection, bouldering remained largely consistent since its origins. Single-pitch climbing ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
List Of First Ascents (sport Climbing)
In rock climbing, a first free ascent (FFA) is the first documented redpoint, onsight or flash of a single-pitch, big wall (multi-pitch), or boulder route that did not involve using aid equipment to help progression or resting; the ascent must therefore be performed in either a sport, a traditional, or a free solo manner. First free ascents that set new grade milestones are important events in rock climbing history, and are listed below. While sport climbing has dominated absolute grade milestones since the mid-1980s, milestones for modern traditional climbing, free solo climbing, onsighted, and flashed ascents, are also listed. A grade is provisional until enough climbers have repeated the route to have a "consensus". At the highest grades, this can take years as few climbers are capable of repeating these routes. For example, in 2001, '' Realization'' was considered the world's first , however, the first repeat of the 1996 route ''Open Air'', which only happened in 2008, ...
