Watch First Ascent of Alaska’s Reaper and Sugar Man

In May 2015, Hansjörg Auer and Much Mayr made the first ascent of the previous unclimbed Mount Reaper in Alaska via their north face route Sugar Man M7 85° A1 750 m.

The route climbed a steep wall with intense and straightforward climbing. The ice couldn’t have been any thinner, otherwise their alpine-style attempt would have ground to a halt.
