Is It Still A New You?

Of course, we all say "New year, new me"  and do something completely ridiculous like decide we would like to climb the tallest mountain or give up shopping (of course, if you are a women or in fact know any women, you know this is the most ridiculous suggestion that has possibly ever been made, it will never happen).
We'd love to know what your new years resolutions were and if you have stuck to them or, well, given in.

A spanish climb!

We're all about exploring the great outdoors here at Grasshopper, whether it's the British countryside or somewhere further afield - we are always up for an adventure.

Looks like these guys are too. Sam Bié and his friend climbed Monserrat - an iconic mountain in Spain that has inspired many Spanish artists - during the climb, a roll of fog moved in swiftly, making visibility difficult. Sam managed to capture this stunning picture and you can see how thick the fog was... definitely scary, but at least you can't see what's below, right?

Hopefully the pair stocked up on Grasshopper Porridge in the morning to keep their strength up, looks like they definitely needed it.

Free Climbing the Totem Pole

Photograph by Simon Carter
Would you ever try free climbing? No ropes, no support, just you and the rock.

These Australian climbers did just that and are seen here climbing the Totem Pole, a slender 215 foot high column, in Tasmania, Australia. Would you be brave enough to try something this extreme?

Climbing in Iceland

Here is 16 year old veteran ice climber Tim Emmett climbing Iceland's Myrdalsjokull Glacier.

Emmett and climbing partner Dawn Glanc spent ten days exploring new routes and meeting locals. Initially they were looking for an icefall to climb but during their time in Iceland the weather was having a warm spell so had to find a glacier instead.

This certainly is a surreal moment and looks stunning!

Climbing the Tempest Wall!

Here is Scott Bennett climbing on the Tempest wall near Leavenworth in Washington's Cascades.

We bet he's climbing to the top to reach a pot of our soup!

Climbing in the Verdon Gorge

Photograpy by Keith Ladzinski
"This particular area is accessed via kayak because of the immense canyon walls - it's the only way in" says climber Jonathan Siegrist, pictured above at around 225 feet above the Verdon River in France's Verdon Gorge. The canyon is considered to be one of the most beautiful in Europe, which we can see why from the image above. It's not far from the French Riviera and is an extremely popular area with tourists - and rock climbers of course.

This really is a picturesque scene and somewhere we would love to go for a nice long walk or even an adventure!
