News & Notes
Ethan Pringle On Jumbo Love
Ethan Pringle is back at Mt. Clark, home to that one route first done by that one guy:
Projecting a route like this requires all of your attention, and having to devote all of your attention to a route like this can get really tiring really fast. At some point, you just want to get it over with. Of course, afterward you feel a mix of relief and loss. Relief that you’re done and the epic is over, and loss that this magnificent line doesn’t require your presence anymore. But for me, I think I’ll have to take a nice long break from serious route projects for a little while after this. Like Randy Levitt said, “It’s like a limestone El Cap.” Obviously, that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but it does sort of convey the amount of work required to complete a project of this caliber.
Pringle is no stranger to Jumbo Love, having tried it even before its FA back in 2008. You can see some footage of his attempts here.
When In Doubt Pack It Out
I don’t know about you, but I always try my best to climb close to an actual bathroom. In case you don’t, the Access Fund has a nice refresher on what to do when nature calls.
Gravelle Repeats Echale (V14)
I guess it shouldn’t be surprising that with training like this that Canadian Yves Gravelle was able to climb his first V14 in Daniel Woods’ Echale in Clear Creek Canyon according to his 8a scorecard.






what’s the story w/ daniel getting his arm crushed by a rock or something like that? may seriously affect his ability to crush nationals… if dw is out, then i’d have to put money on anyone who will be climbing in a boot of doom. then, boot of doom ex-pat if johnson and puccio do not win the ladies division by so much that they have to climb on the dood lines… in which case, the grudge match between those two and paul in his gimpy state would be a sight to behold.

Hadn’t heard about that one. Doesn’t sound like good news if it is true.

Facebook status says true on the arm crushage. I haven’t had a chance to ask him before he went off to nats, but currently, status stalking says he’s going to try to climb today, or yesterday it said so, rather. We will see what kind of crushing will go on. Hopefully the good kind. Money still on Robinson. He told me just out of the boot that he is stronger than he has ever been.

I guess I was behind the 8-ball on that one. He obviously is crushing as hard as P Rob from the qualifier updates, but they are climbing finals now. Awesome. Just awesome.

Yes, that story is apparently true. Happened at Carter Lake or thereabouts. Mr. Woods did not seem fazed in the least on Friday or Saturday.
