Greek Beauty

Lichnos Beach, northwestern Greece. The economy may be collapsing but the natural beauty of this country remains.

Someone recently asked me how I got so into the outdoors. I didn't grow up with mountain climbing parents and in a sense I'm quite the black sheep in my family. An apple that fell from the tree when there was a storm outside, as my uncle once put it 😂 I think I always had a deep passion for the outdoors but it took a trip to southwestern US as a 19-year old to fully realize it. There, somewhere in my tent under the milky way in the deserts of Arizona I found a psyche of greater proportions than I'd ever experienced before. Fast forward to today and I can't look at a massive rock wall, snowy mountain or wild river without seeing routes, lines and general potential for another great day in the wild. Still far away from as hardcore as many of my friends, I wonder where this psyche will have taken me in another 10 years from now. All I know for sure it that I want to stay in a lifelong relationship with those humbling rocky giants that have inspired me so much to this day. Thanks for all the love and support that have taken me to where I am today ❤️ Behind the camera: Jennifer Long

Sometimes nature and civilization blend together in quite amazing ways. Like a pitched tent overlooking the Chamonix Valley lit up by town lights while the Milky Way rise above the Mont Blanc massif and all her glaciers. An evening of climbing that transitioned into night before we were able to make our way back to our campsite, but we didn't mind. #homeiswhereyoustakeit @msr_gear

Alex in his natural habitat, cruising some rock a few hundred meters above the giant Gorner Glacier. I have heard him rave about this place he adopted as his new home years ago, and once I finally got to experience it for myself I fully felt and understood why. Yet another marvellous playground leaving me with a desire for more. @zermatt.matterhorn

Some crags are cooler than others and Grotta dell'Edera in Finale Ligure sure is one of them. A bit of navigating through the Italian bush will bring you to a big black hole in the rock wall, also known as the main entrance. From here you either find an outside path to the roof and rappel down, or you climb a dark and slippery lower cave chamber before squeezing through a narrow passage that takes you to the upper chamber, where you stand surrounded by 360 degrees of excellent and challenging climbs on beautiful rock. Here Alex warming up on Infezione Finalese, 6b.

Topping out and coiling the rope in style after yet another stunning multipitch climb, with her majesty the Matterhorn towering in the background.

Sunset in the beautiful land of people as warm as the climate, amazingly cheap cappuccinos, endless rock climbing opportunities and crystal clear water. Thanks once again for the light shows, Croatia 🌅 Brought my office to Zermatt and now mixing post processing work with play in Tobleroneland. Good life choice.

From sketchy alpine crack missions to Italian cave climbing and the last ski outing of the season (?).. While May was a lot about dirtbaggin and playing, June will be about trying to be an adult for a bit. Swapping the alpine strolls for some coastal wanders as I'm off to the beaches of Croatia for work.

Throwback to a perfect winter morning above Lake Wanaka which marked the start of a long and disturbingly scenic ridge line traverse on snowshoes. 10 hours later we found ourselves crawling around in dirt and hiding in bushes on our final march to our finish line, but that's another story... 😊

Jen walking down the blue carpet under a sea of ice, which marked the end of a cruisy bluebird day on the biggest glacier in France👌🏽 One sweaty climb and a steep train ride later, nachos and drinks waited at Moö's. Won't get much more Chamonix than that.
