The Summer of the Woman™ continued this week out on the boulders as Angie Payne dispatched Clear Blue Skies at Mt. Evans calling it “definitely not V12. I guess V11″ while over in Squamish Thomasina Pidgeon continued her good year with sends of Summoning Sit (V12) and Tim’s Face (V11).

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.






Any thoughts on which one of the strongwomen is going to be the first to dispatch Jade? We were discussing it at the gym the other night with no clear consensus.

Alex Puccio or Lisa Rands would be my guess.

I’d go with Alex Johnson. Puccio would be a solid guess, but I feel like you don’t need the giant muscles of Puccio, but I think Johnson has the finger strength for it.
That being said, I don’t know if any girl will be doing it any time soon.
Also, that being said, I won’t be doing it any time soon either, so who am I to say anything about it.

My money’s on Puccio. She’ll find out some ridiculous new beta with multiple heel hooks and power through that thing.

Is this discussion actually happening??
