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.
Chris Schulte Cleaning Up At Lincoln Lake, 4.9 out of 5 based on 28 ratingsI 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.
Chris Schulte Cleaning Up At Lincoln Lake, 4.9 out of 5 based on 28 ratingsI 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.

2 things you can always count on in a Chris Schulte video: sexy acid jazz/trip hop beats, and compression rigs.
Good on ya for taking care of the area.

I’m left wondering why not one of the other avid boulderers who use this area have mentioned cleanup, particularly the well known ones who have a newsworthy impact on the community.

Chris seems like an exceptionally cool guy and a role model for the community.

Chris just earned himself some serious points in my book. This is the kind of role model younger climbers need, that is: less worried about saving energy for the next day of efforts on “the hardest problem ever” than about keeping alpine wilderness areas pristine for future generations. This attitude certainly doesn’t seem to be hurting his performance. Well done!

What a funny contrast to the “brooklyn” video!
Chris can crush boulders, make solid vids, and is an environmental steward too- what a guy!!!
