Trip to the Moon V14

Trip to the Moon is a V14 boulder problem climbed in Switzerland by members of the team featured in the film The North Face presents: ALPHANE. It appears in the film as one of several hard boulders the group works through alongside the headline objective, Shawn Raboutou's ascent of the 9A (V17) line Alphane in Chironico, giving the film a sense of the range of difficulty, from V14 up toward V17, that the team was operating across during the trip.

History

Sources checked for this page did not turn up a first ascensionist, date, or specific crag for Trip to the Moon beyond its appearance in this film; it is not documented on the climbing databases and news sites checked, unlike Alphane and Alphane Moon nearby, which are well recorded. Because of that, no further history can be stated with confidence.
