A little late, but Chris Sharma was on “All Things Considered” on NPR last week. For whatever reason he is climbing in Maryland and there is a short video of him pulling down (presumably, I couldn’t get the video to play) along with audio of the interview.

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.






“For whatever reason” makes it sound like Maryland sucks! It’s not horrible or anything
I presume he was climbing here because NPR’s facilities are in DC and fairly close to Carderock Park in the scheme of things. The video really isn’t that great and it sucks that NPR uses real player for their video and audio files. Seems like lots of people can’t play it.

Ha, I didn’t mean to disparage Maryland by any means but it’s not really the sort of climbing mecca you picture Sharma hanging out at. I presumed that it must have to do with the proximity to NPR. I guess going all the way to Kentucky 3 weeks ago to cover him in one of the best areas of the Country didn’t fit in with keeping things “Green” or something…
