I would generally have more to say on a Video Friday such as today but I’m currently doing this:

Hopefully things are looking this good wherever you’re climbing this weekend, and here are a few videos to get you ready:

Posted In: Video Friday
Tommy Caldwell and Alex Honnold spent Saturday romping up big walls in Yosemite. The pair free climbed Freerider on El Cap, the South Face of Mt. Watkins and the Regular Northwest Face on Half Dome in just over 21 hours. So…how was your weekend??
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.
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.

2 Other completely unrelated comments for the day:
1. Someone should compile a ‘best of Dave Graham rants’ movie (proposed scene 1, Wizard of Climbing).
2. D Woods deactivated his scorecard on 8a.nu –> Quick, someone come up with an outrageous explanation! (If I had my own blog I would probably put this as headline news for the day just as a poke at Jens. Probably why I don’t have my own blog).
Hells yes for a weekend of climbing.
