El Gavilán.
Rising out of the arid Mexican Desert lies a 900 ft ships prow of elegant limestone sporting a 9-pitch 5.13 established in the 90s by Jeff Jackson. A cutting-edge big wall free climb at the time, this route shut down hard men for years. Shrouded in mysticism, the bolts rusted and the holds collected dust until a couple young gals from Canada decided to give it a try.

Ocean to Asgard.
In 2019 Bronwyn Hodgins, Jacob Cook, Thor Stewart and Zack Goldberg-Poch set out on a six week multi-sport expedition to Baffin Island in northern Canada.

Freerider, El Capitan.
A short film by Jacob.
Climbing El Cap using only our hands and feet! Bron and I made our second trip to Yosemite in spring 2015. We teamed up with Chris Bevins and spent 6 days and 5 nights climbing Freerider. Both Chris and I managed to free climb every pitch. *Note: Bron was fairly new to climbing at the time, but she came back fours years later and sent!

"Eeet iz errrr... how you say?... F*cked."
Said the French mechanic. We stood looking forlornly at the broken Landrover. We'd made it about 700km down France to just North of Lyon. Ian and my epic Verdon adventure plans were rapidly collapsing before our eyes…

“On November 8th 2018, I stood on the summit of El Capitan in Yosemite, California, after free climbing the route Freerider over 5 days. With Jacob supporting me, I led the crux pitches and weighted the rope only three times over the 3000ft of climbing, lowering down and sending each pitch after. It almost felt easy! But really it wasn’t easy. It was a battle, a 4-year epic battle. …”
