BD Athlete Seb Bouin was looking for a new experience. “We usually go to places where the climbing is already developed,” he explained. So, Bouin, along with his mom and two dogs, got in the van and drove up the coast of France to reach Albania. There they found a plethora of undeveloped limestone ripe for the bolting, as well as an undone 9b king line bolted by none other than BD Athlete Adam Ondra. Check out this video of Seb Bouin living the Balkan Dream.

Climbing in Albania is the most exciting development in Sport Climbing in the last decade! I've been climbing in Kalymnos, Ceuse, and all over Catalunya, and Albania is just as good, if not better! There is so much still to be climbed and bolted out there - the potential seems endless!!! This film is a glimpse into Albanian climbing in the hope to inspire some more climbers to make it their next climbing trip!

Home to the world’s first 9a, Action Directe, and numerous other hard sport routes which to this day are seldom repeated, this is an area that has maintained its mythic as a hard climbing area in the decades that have followed, and to this day it is seen as a testing ground for many of the up and coming climbers of a new generation. However with all this talk of hard sport climbing, the truth is that Frankenjura has more than enough variation in its grades to offer plenty of opportunities for the everyday climber who is more interested in a 7a project that taking on the world’s latest 9a+. Hidden in the forests, found through well trodden trails and paths, you will find a plethora of different styles and routes for every climber to enjoy. This is a place for climbers to come and test themselves, but most of all this is an area of mystic, with perhaps just a touch of magic…
