In climbing, a first ascent is the act of attaining a never visited mountain summit or being the first to pioneer a particular route up. First ascents are notable because they entail genuine exploration, with greater risks, and challenges than climbing a route found by others.

I created these route topos to showcase a few of my proudest first ascents around the world. Each includes critical info for any future parties interested in attempting an ascent. They are all free to download in full resolution because that’s what feels right.
