British Newspaper The Daily Mail has run an online feature on the US climber Sasha Digiulian.

The photos are fantastic, the article not quite as fantastic, but overall it's a great spread and excellent to see climbing in the mainstream media.

We have a great UKC Interview with Sasha (with great photos and video), in which she says:

"My favorite color is pink, I love puppies, I have a big sweet-tooth, and I tend to laugh a lot. I guess that's me in a nutshell."

The comments on the mail article are hilarious! She will die doing what she loves I guess. - Cc , Minneapolis, United States, 04/2/2013 I admire her athleticism but I do not want to read the headline that will...
Double Knee Bar - 06 Feb 2013

It's a reasonable, though hardly brilliant, piece for a mainstream paper and, oddly enough, reads like it was written by a climber since it throws in 'sports climbing' and 'bouldering' without any explanation as if the...
