As you may know, Kevin Jorgeson, Alex Honnold and Matt Segal certainly made a mark on their brief trip to the UK.

Here are several short clips of Kevin Jorgeson soloing hard routes at Rumney in New Hampshire, USA. Rumney is a small cluster of schist craglets, some very steep, on the slopes of Rattl...

I really enjoyed his 100 days video, if you kept pressing for more. I might be inspired!

I'm not sure if the state motto is the same as the motto they have on their car licence plates, but the thing on their licence plates reads "Live Free or Die".

Yee-har

Spent a bit of time climbing at Rumney and the nearby granite of Cathedral and Sundown. All are great crags with a strong super helpful and friendly bunch of locals to hook up with. Would recommend a trip there to anyone. Lee
