Mari Salvesen climbs 5.14 crack, Black Mamba
Mari Salvesen has made the fourth ascent, and second female ascent, of Black Mamba, 5.14b, in Canyonlands, Utah.
This week's Friday Night Video takes us to the Profile Wall in Jøssingfjord on the south coast of Norway, where Mari Salvesen is attempting to complete Premiere Moments (7c).
Mari has had previous success on the Profile Wall; in 2019 she made an ascent of Ronny Medelsvensson (8b). The routes on the wall all appear to have good gear but there's a fine line between placing too much and not enough...

Does any other forum member regularly use / recommend jamming gloves ? or even wideboyz gloves ? Look like the biz !
There is a lot of greatness in this vid. Their trad vids, especially Mari doing these hards lines is so much fun to watch. Picking up on methods to improve my own cracking on a much lower level. More of this stuff please.
WOW that is an amazing looking crag - and one of the best vids I’ve seen on here - great mix of conveying the incredible exposure and being close enough to the action to feel like you’re there.
