Legacy is earned. For BD Athlete Connor Herson, the only way to leave something behind that stands the test of time is to first try the benchmarks that have already been established. That was the genesis behind Connor’s trip to Norway. With two of the world’s hardest trad routes sitting right next to each other on the iconic Profile Wall, the Jøssingfjord zone is now the ultimate mettle-tester for the trad climbing elite. In Episode 1 of Born from the Climbing Life, Connor tied in for Crown Royale, established by legendary Wide Boyz crack master Pete Whittaker. Rack up and get psyched for Connor’s first foray into Norway.

The best seller used by outdoor programs across the country as a resource and textbook.
