→ Chris Sharma To Join Dawn Wall Team∞

Posted October 1, 2013 at 9:38 am · Comments { 28 } ·

So…this is happening (maybe…hopefully) :

Chris Sharma will join Tommy Caldwell, Kevin Jorgeson, and Jonathan Siegrist for this fall’s attempts on the Dawn Wall, a multi-year project to create the world’s hardest big-wall free climb. The team will begin working on the Dawn Wall this week, pending resolution of the federal government shutdown, which has closed Yosemite National Park.

I’ll be honest, I did a triple take and checked the date on my calendar when I saw this.

 Not because I don’t believe that Sharma could excel at this sort of thing, but rather because this is an insane team of climbers to have together on the wall.

 Add Dave Graham to the mix and my head might explode.

This leaves us no choice, call your congressman and demand they support Dawn Wall 2013.

Justin Roth, writing on his blog The Stone Mind about the magic of places like Hueco Tanks:

How could I go on doing something that didn’t inspire me in a world where places like this exist?  I knew I had to make my way towards something more fulfilling, even if that meant multiplying the uncertainty in my life.

Climbers, like artists, are an individualistic bunch. We chafe against rules and restrictions — I’m certainly no exception, but I also believe in the strange magic of places like Hueco.

I’ve felt that magic as well, and I’ve been thinking a lot about this post the past several months as my move to Colorado has definitely multiplied the uncertainty in my life.

 However, it has also brought great fulfillment as I’ve been able to experience places like RMNP regularly1 and feel the magic of the mountains in a way that never would have been possible had I not moved here.
