news / Re: Significant First Ascents
« Last post by lukeyboy on Yesterday at 08:39:22 pm »Keenan Takahashi has made the first ascent of The Gold Standard on the Golden Boulder in Bishop. This feels pretty significant; proper LGP stuff. The face was originally climbed by Sonnie Trotter and named Standing on the Shoulders of Giants, and so named because one literally had to stand on a partner's shoulders to reach the start holds. What a line!

Thanks, that was a lovely little film. The sort of thing you could show someone to explain what projecting is like.
Also doesn't Bishop look like a stunning place (for those like me who've not been).
