This incredible photo essay by Keith Ladzinski from his trip to Australia last year with Dave Graham, Nalle Hukkataival and Ian Dory would make a great coffee table book don’t you think? (h/t Josh on twitter for the link).
“You think it will be cool till it isn’t fun anymore”
The North Face catches up with their athlete Alex Honnold to find out a bit more about his and Tommy Caldwell’s big day in Yosemite, his plans to rope solo the same feat for his segment in the Reel Rock Tour and a casual mention of how he free soloed the West Face of El Cap. As to how the idea for the triple link-up came about:
You do one route and you have a lot of time left in the day and you think, “Oh maybe we should have done two.” And eventually you do two with time left over and you say, “maybe we could do three…” and we did three and we didn’t have any time left over so we said, “we’re over it.”
More detail and pictures from Kelly Cordes on the big day here as well.
Bad Girls Club (5.14d) Repeated By Jon Cardwell
According to his 8a scorecard, Jon Cardwell has repeated Bad Girls Club, a 5.14d in Rifle, CO first done last summer by Matty Hong.






If you haven’t done Brinton’s Crack, it is very good and full value for the grade.

It is next on the ticklist for leads…we just have to get to it before the groups one of these weekends.
How is it that you know about climbs at DL now?
loading...
How? Hasn’t everybody from the midwest grown up climbing there? Foreplay is a great little starter lead for a newbee. Crack is loaded with placements for gear and the tree is the perfect place for making it a 2 pitch climb.

You guys, We’re really missing the point by not commenting on the pics of Old School. Man, That’s what I like about the Narc give the people what they want. Brinton’s is sweet, don’t forget to jump on Congradulations.

i spent labor day weekend 1999 there. my big send was flashing the Gill Flatiron! SIcK!
loading...
Nice. I’m almost too embarassed to even admit that I haven’t ever even tried the flatiron!
loading...
Craig,
Congratulations will be done sooner than later. In fact, I haven’t seen a single person on it the past 3 Sundays so long lines can’t be used for an excuse.
I always give the people what they want, you know that.

Not necessarily true, For instance Sarah and I want the team website updated.
loading...
How about I trade you a team website update for a blogsite update with pictures from Saturday’s bouldering adventures…by Wednesday.
loading...
Well, you drive a hard bargain, but I accept your offer.
loading...
Tony, I’m on your side. I keep saying, we’ve got to get on that, updating the team site, but the ol’ Narc isn’t having any of it..you know he’s an elitist like that…all about bigger and better, fame and fortune
Hey Climbing Narc, at least you didn’t grossly overestimate the temperatures at the Lake this weekend, props for that. I think I might actually be nearing full lung capacity this week!

Hey, who took those fab pictures? Must be a real professional with a real expensive camera.
loading...
Man, show more pictures of old school. Vintage. He must have climbed with Pete and Tommy back in the day. He’s making that 11c look easy.
loading...
I think I saw another pic of old school on the e-mail thingy climbing with Pete and Tommy, man he looks good for a man in his 40′s

Update:
Brinton’s…check
Congratulations..check
Gill’s Flatiron…check…no flash though!
