The saga continues: Mauro Bubu Bole, Anna Torretta, Israel Blanco and the photographer Andrea Gallo are currently on tour in Canada to try some of the hardest drytooling routes on the North American continent.

First stop, the Icefields Parkway, where instead of heading up to classics such as Terminator, Polar Circus, and the immense powder slopes of the Columbia Glacier, the four clambered down to the Cineplex, a semicircular, 15m overhanging cave that hosts a series of futuristic lines.

On Day 1 all three unsuccessfully tried their luck on the biggest attraction, Ben Firth's January testpiece The Game, which weighs in at a mighty M13. On Day 2 fortunes changed somewhat when Bubu Bole, after a failed on-sight, made the fastest ascent to-date of Will Gadd's Musashi M12. Anna Torretta astounded all with an imressive attempt on the same route, while Israel Blanco made serious headway on The Game. No doubt we'll be hearing more from them soon.
