Sasha DiGiulian

On July 12, 2018, Professional Climber, Sasha DiGiulian, set out to become the first woman and second person in history to complete 'Rocky Mountain Trilogy'; a compilation of three of the hardest 5.14 big walls in the Canadian Rockies. The imposing climbs, on Castle Mountain, Mount Louis, and Mount Yamnuska, respectively will take Sasha 2 months of continued effort with the ultimate goal of ascending each sheer wall in a single day push, with zero falls — a combined average of over 9,000 vertical feet of climbing at a lung busting average elevation of 7,000ft.

From 5.13 big walls in Yosemite to 5.14 sport climbs in Mexico to V14 boulder problems in Colorado, Pretty Strong follows eight of the world’s strongest female climbers as they explore new climbing areas, send hard projects, and push the boundaries of the sport and themselves. Putting badass ladies front and center, this film is about some of the best climbers in the world doing what they do best: crushing hard rock climbs. The climbers featured include Nina Williams, Katie Lambert, Daila Ojeda, Hazel Findlay, and more. Created by the all-women production team Never Not Collective, Pretty Strong is a climbing film about women, by women, and for everyone.

From skydiving to slacklining, from encountering a pack of wolves to rallycross racing, the 'Away from keyboard' series challenges gaming athletes to team up with action and adventure sport pros to take risks and gain new skills that translate into the world of gaming. In this episode, Lilian 'Milktea' Chen, Smash Sisters co-founder, throws herself at the problem when playing Smash – will that same method work for her when rock climbing? Rock climber Sasha DiGiulian takes Milktea for a climb in Stoney Point to learn about problem-solving.

Angela VanWiemeersch and Sasha DiGiliuan, two athletes at the top of their respective climbing disciplines, explore the Upper Peninsula of Michigan in search for new ice climbing routes on the shoreline of Lake Superior. Frozen waterfalls on the side of massive sandstone cliffs in Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore offer a variety of climbing possibilities that only a small, but dedicated community regularly visits. Ice climbing in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula is relatively unknown, but the climate, landscape, and geological features make it home to some of the USA’s best. The waterfalls freeze into spectacular ice formations, creating countless climbing routes.

In high-end modern rock climbing, 5.15 is the top of the difficulty scale, a grade achieved by only a few men and never by a woman. Margo Hayes, a little known 19-year-old from Boulder, Colorado, is determined to change that. To be closer to the world’s hardest routes, she has moved to Europe, where she trains and climbs with the goal of succeeding on two of the most iconic 5.15s in France and Spain. But pushing her body and mind to the absolute limit, she risks injury and failure in her quest to be the first.

In the summer of 2013, Sasha DiGiulian climbed Rolihlahla (5.14c) in South Africa. The climb is considered the hardest route at Waterfall Boven, one of South Africa’s sport climbing destinations. The line was formally dubbed the Overlord Project when it was bolted in 2008 by South African climber Andrew Pedley. Rolihlahla is Nelson Mandela’s birth name, and colloquially means troublemaker.

Nineteen year old Sasha DiGiulian made the first female ascent of Chris Sharma's route Era Vella (9a or 5.14d) in Margalef, Spain. 9a is the hardest grade ever climbed by a woman. DiGiulian became the first American woman to climb 5.14d in October 2011 with an ascent of Pure Imagination in the Red River Gorge, Kentucky. (It's been downgraded to 5.14c since Adam Ondra flashed it in November 2012.) She went on to climb Era Vella (5.14d) in March 2012; here's the full story.
