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??
Yuji Hirayama - On The Road To Slovenia, 4.7 out of 5 based on 34 ratingsEthan 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 like the new video area. The layout is straightforward and convenient. I intended to watch one video and ended up watching four.

Nice!
If there are any ways you feel it would be easier to use/navigate don’t hesitate to let me know. Oftentimes I do all this stuff with my perspective in mind and it’s easy to lose how actual readers interact with the stuff.

Awesome video. Yuji always seems like he’s super psyched, and having a great time, wherever he happens to be climbing. Random question though, what kind of climbing shoes does he use? I couldn’t find a close enough shot to see the manufacturer.

Boreal with what appears to be Stealth Paint

What a great video. Editing and music really seems to fit Yuji’s personality and “zen-ness”. Awesome!
Narc, I like the new video section too. It’s easy to find just videos instead of fishing through all the posts to find video posts.
