Freddie Wilkinson, Mike Libecki, Keith Ladzinski, and Cory Richards explore the vicious and windy conditions of Queen Maud Land, Antarctica in this video. 'The environment is so hostile you'd die up here in a matter of hours without the right gear and the right expertise.'
Check out the video from National Geographic here -- stunning footage:

Sonnie Trotter has just completed a new 5.14a!
Sonnie Trotter has just completed his summer project, Castles in the Sky, on Castle Mountain in the Canadian Rockies. The bolted route, rated 5.14a, rises five pitches up a prow on a lower buttress of the mountain. While the route features moderate pitches of rock near the bottom, a dramatic overhanging arete guards access to the route's final and easier pitches.
In an e-mail exchange with Rock and Ice, Trotter describes the 55-meter (180 feet) crux as 'lots of sidepulls and underclings ... a power-endurance climb.'
