Era-defining, brutally technical, mentally demanding. 
 The famed Alpine Trilogy has been climbed by Arc’teryx athlete Lara Neumeier (@laraneumeier). “For a long time, the Alpine Trilogy has been on my mind. For just as long, these routes felt out of reach.”  
 Consisting of three 8b+ routes, Silbergeier in Switzerland’s Rätikon, End of Silence in Germany’s Berchtesgaden Alps, and Des Kaisers Neue Kleider in Austria’s Wilder Kaiser, the trio of routes continue to be one of the mainstays of hard alpine multi-pitch climbing. 
 With the completion of Des Kaisers Neue Kleider on June 4, Lara becomes just the second woman and among a handful of climbers to complete the hattrick. All in just under a year.
 “These three routes felt like a test. Having passed it gives me the confidence to think bigger.” 
 Congrats on the incredibly journey, Lara. We’re excited to see what comes next.     📸 / 📹: @raydemski
