→ Drones Banned In Yosemite∞
Bad news from NBC for any of you filmmakers out there that were hoping to use one of those new fangled drone cameras in Yosemite:
The U.S. National Park Service issued the unmanned aircraft ban on Friday, barring “drones of all shapes and sizes” within Yosemite’s boundaries.
The Park Service cited a law that states “delivering or retrieving a person or object by parachute, helicopter, or other airborne means” without a permit in situations other than emergencies is illegal.
But the service is choosing to enforce that law now, in Yosemite, because more park visitors have begun using drones within the last few years — particularly to film aerial footage of the park and people who are climbing.
Dive into the comments if you want a good laugh from people confusing the drones covered by this ban with weaponized drones used by our government.
→ The Day Tommy Caldwell Sent The Salathe Wall In A Day∞
Great piece by Tommy Caldwell about how he climbed El Cap’s Salathe Wall in a day just months after losing his finger in a home improvement accident:
But in the blink of an eye, it had all been snatched away from me.
A pale, sad-looking doctor came into my hospital room.

He was a hand surgeon; he was also a climber who had been keeping tabs on my progress.“Tommy, things aren’t look good,” he said. “You’re going to lose your finger. You better start thinking about what else you want to do with your life.”
→ Action Directe (5.14d) In A Day By Alex Megos∞
PlanetMountain caught up with Alex Megos after he repeated the legendary Action Directe (5.14d) in just a few hours this past weekend:
Yes, the thought [of trying to flash the route] had occurred to me but I then quickly decided that this was fairly unrealistic. The dyno at the start is known to be really difficult and it’s proved to be a big problem for many of those who’ve repeated the route and are by far better at dynos then I am. Climbing it in a day was a big enough challenge!
