Tom Randall and Pete Whittaker are in the US for 8 weeks in search of the most difficult off-widths they could find. "Century Crack" is the hardest off-width in the world. Stevie Haston attempted this route in the 90's with no success. No one believed the route would ever be climbed...

Alstrin Film & Hot Aches Productions have teamed up to document their two year journey.

Look for the film - Fall 2012

As 9beer product and sales manager You are just a normal or even very strong (why not ?) climber going to climb.

You drive to your favourite rocks.

You climb.

(Ok, if you are strong like Adam, if you drink beer, You can become 9beer testimonial too :-)

" Beer for climbers ? 9beer ? Do you think I'm stupid man ? It's just beer, with a f.....ing 9b logo ! "

Ok.

9beer, beer for climbers, sold by climbers, approved by climbers

Yes, 9beer, for the best 9b world CLIMBERS party :-)

How 9beer will be possible ?

There will be soon a new 9b ecommerce website  where breweries can buy  9b world CLIMBERS party tags they can print and put on their bottles.

Every climber living close to climbing or bouldering areas can become a 9beer sales manager starting to sell, paid by 9b, 9b tags to breweries close to where he/she lives.

After the breweries will have bought 9b tags and put them on their bottles, their bottles will have the image of “beer for climbers, sold by climbers, approved by climbers”.
