Mirror Wall
Forging a new big wall line up Greenland’s ’Arctic El Cap’ proved to be the most challenging endeavor Sean Villanueva O’Driscoll and Nico Favresse had ever taken on.
Mirror Wall owes its name to its almost featureless main face. The granite is said to be so blank and smooth that a climber can almost see their reflection…
After many days of enormous effort and just 30 meters below easier terrain, Sean, Nico, Franco and Ben were faced with a choice between progress and ethics, and instead of drilling a bolt ladder against their own climbing rules they chose to bail. The decision was by no means easy to take, but it also felt right.
