\nClimbing\u00a0reports that\u00a0a team of American climbers, last September, has opened three new routes in the Changping Valley – a region of Sichuan – China. Chad Kellogg and Dylan Johnson left for China with the support of the Mugs Stump Award and Award of AAC Lyman Spitzer.

\nIn their plans, there was the attractive "Nose" of the Yeti on the north side of Seerdengpu, but bad weather has hampered the climb and made necessary a change of plans: the action of the two has thus shifted to the east wall of the same mountain. At the\u00a0third attempt, after many vicissitudes, Headwaters has completed a beautiful route \u00a0on rocks, ice and modern mixed (dry-tooling) that reaches the top of the north – east ridge.

\nA few days after Kellogg, Johnson and\u00a0John Dickey explored a rocky spire of 5086 m never climbed before \u00a0closer to Seerdengpu, opening a classic route of about 600 meters, but failing to set foot on the summit due to only 25 meters of solid rock that did not allow any kind of traditional protection.

\nMeanwhile, Toby Grohne and Jesse Huey, also beneficiaries of a Mugs Stump Award\u00a0–\u00a0accompanied by John Dickey as a photographer and video operator –\u00a0opened Forlorn Ridge, 40 pitches with difficulties up to 5.10.

\nA ride on a ridge in places like a sharp knife, all on the north east ridge of Celestial Peak or Pomiu of which \u00a0they made the sixth ascent. But their adventure was not over yet: they set a bivy under Siguniang and during the \u00a0night witnessing a downfall, which struck just where they were going to go up the next day …

\nThey have no choice than do some \u00a0bouldering, but also something unexpected happened here: Huey \u00a0suffered a fall that causes several serious fractures and was \u00a0transported to a hospital in Chengdu by his fellows Now he is in the U.S. and it seems to recover completely.
\n\u00a0
\nThe team of mountaineers was part of Elevation Project, a program that provides for the establishment of a mountaineering school in Rilong, the most important town at the base of the mountains.
