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

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?
