How many of us, distracted at work or school, cue up 8a.nu to get a daily fix of climbing news straight from the source? The Strava of climbing, 8a.nu delivers a raw feed of ascents and commentary logged by the pros and everyday athletes alike.
The website was opened in 1999 as a local sport climbing blog for Gothenburg, Sweden, and has since grown to over 80,000 members across the globe, with nearly 6 million ascents logged in the database.
Join us for an Instagram Live session with 8a.nu founder Jens Larssen and Hayden Carpenter, a journalist and former editor at Rock and Ice magazine, as they chat about climbing news, record keeping, and the digitalization of climbing media.
