Hi all.

Are there any interesting first winter ascent/interesting new route attempts planned or in progress? Something where there are blog updates or other ways of keeping up with the climb from my armchair? It doesn't matter if it's anyone well known or not, or whether it's a route that'll get in the papers, or whether it's someone on here or someone not on here. But if anyone out there is going where no-one has gone before I'd be interested in following it.

It's not "winter climbing" - but it is climbing, and it's winter. I'm sure a lot of people will be keeping an eye open for renewed activity on Dawn Wall at the moment.

I should probably re-post this in a more appropriate forum. Pretty impressive, though - particularly during the festive season; those lads clearly need more Christmas pudding!
