The Shining, first ascent video by Trotter and Caldwell

28.03.2012 by Planetmountain

The video of The Shining, the route established by Sonnie Trotter and Tommy Caldwell on Mount Louis in Canada.

Here's the story of the first ascent of The Shining, the 5.13c/d multi-pitch established ground-up by Sonnie Trotter and Tommy Caldwell last summer in the "vast sea of limestone" of Mount Louis in the Banff National Park in Canada. Secret weapon? A lightweight chair and umbrella!
