Yesterday Kevin Jorgeson tried a bit of an experiment while working on that well documented free climbing project on El Cap with Tommy Caldwell. Throughout the day Jorgeson posted a few pictures straight from the wall using his cellphone. The results were not exactly Tim Kemple quality, but I think it’s a cool way to utilize today’s technology to give readers a first person view of what life is like on the wall.

El Cap Report Returns For Spring 2012

News & Notes
What Did You Do This Weekend?
Tommy Caldwell and Alex Honnold spent Saturday romping up big walls in Yosemite. The pair free climbed Freerider on El Cap (6:45 climbing), the South Face of Mt. Watkins (2:40 climbing) and the Regular Northwest Face on Half Dome (5 climbing) in just over 21 hours. More at Climbing.com. So…how was your weekend??
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 those 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.






I saw that yesterday and also thought that was really cool. He must have been really bored. lol

Hey all! I’ll be trying again starting tomorrow. We’re going up on the wall for 4 days to check out the last remaining pitches we haven’t tried yet.

Glad to hear it, Kevin. Really enjoyed seeing the post yesterday.
