Ben Spannuth

Ben Spannuth recently landed in Fayetteville, West Virginia to hone his skills on the bullet hard, New River Gorge sandstone. Ben teams up with local legend, Mike Williams for a tour of the modern testpieces and the two help showcase some of the best hard routes in the country. For Ben, repeating established routes might be the first step to dialing in a new area but he is only satisfied when he can leave his mark by climbing old abandoned projects and bolting new lines of his own. Enjoy, something old, something new, something undone, and something with glue.

Ben Spannuth climbing on two American power endurance test-pieces. Ben heads to Gunnison, Colorado for the first ascent of 'Cobra Strike' (5.14a), a route that Will Anglin bolted years before. Later, Ben meets up with friends in Moab, Utah for a rare repeat of the Mill Creek classic 'The Bleeding' (5.14).
