This incredible photo essay by Keith Ladzinski from his trip to Australia last year with Dave Graham, Nalle Hukkataival and Ian Dory would make a great coffee table book don’t you think? (h/t Josh on twitter for the link).
Anthony Chertudi Bouldering White Buffalo (5.13d) At The Wild Iris, 3.4 out of 5 based on 8 ratingsThe North Face catches up with their athlete Alex Honnold to find out a bit more about his and Tommy Caldwell’s big day in Yosemite, his plans to rope solo the same feat for his segment in the Reel Rock Tour and a casual mention of how he free soloed the West Face of El Cap. As to how the idea for the triple link-up came about:
You do one route and you have a lot of time left in the day and you think, “Oh maybe we should have done two.” And eventually you do two with time left over and you say, “maybe we could do three…” and we did three and we didn’t have any time left over so we said, “we’re over it.”
More detail and pictures from Kelly Cordes on the big day here as well.

Solo or hi-ball boulder problem? Pretty short for a route, but the fall doesn’t look like that much fun either! Nice bit of climbing though.

This little boulder actual has a fairly interesting history, some of which I’ve experienced first hand. When a friend of mine tried it back in 2001 there were 2 bolts but the anchors were missing. Supposedly they were chopped so people wouldn’t steal the FA or something like that but I can’t say I know for sure. From what I remember the hard part was closer to the top and I don’t think you’d want to fall from up there but it’s probably more a highball than an outright free solo.
