Me, back in July when it was announced that Alex Honnold would be soloing a building on live TV this fall1:

Then again, Honnold has always struck me as being rather pragmatic and I’m guessing this sort of stunt pays a lot better than anything with actual rock climbing involved.

Alex Honnold, in the Outside Online article revealing that he will be climbing the 1,667 ft. tall  Tapei 101, the 2nd tallest skyscraper in the world:

Honnold won’t discuss specific figures, but he acknowledges that he’ll be paid “vastly more than anything I’ve encountered in the climbing world” for the project.

Makes sense.

Justin Roth, writing on The Stone Mind:

From what I’ve seen, however, the professional climber’s life is less glamorous than many imagine and more like the jobs that most of us work: full of trade-offs and sacrifices.

I found myself nodding my head in agreement throughout, recalling many experiences I’ve had these past few months living in the ultimate professional climber bubble.

→ White Noise Repeated By Paul Robinson∞

Posted November 12, 2013 at 8:02 am · Comments { 0 } ·

Paul Robinson has done the 4th ascent of Daniel Woods’ White Noise (V15) in Wild Basin, RMNP, CO, commenting on his 8a scorecard:

2 days. 4th ascent. had some of the most perfect climbing conditions on it ever today! hard 8b+ or easy 8c boulder? such cool climbing and a rad traverse! was good to still have some rumney endurance for the top!

Update:  The following day Robinson returned to Wild Basin where he repeated The Grey (V14).

→ Can Climbers Think More Clearly About Ethics?∞

Posted November 7, 2013 at 12:30 pm · Comments { 0 } ·

Peter Beal weighs in on Junipergate:

I think Joe has received enough of a shellacking from everyone else and I consider him a friend so I am not going to deliver a sermon on why cutting the tree down was a bad idea. But I am going to take issue with his defenders who are among other things  betraying a fundamental lack of understanding of how the sport of climbing actually works.

Fundamental to this is an understanding of the principal issues at stake in making ethical decisions, issues that many, in fact too many, internet commenters seem willfully ignorant of.

→ The Nose In A Day And Freerider In 3∞

Posted November 7, 2013 at 9:41 am · Comments { 0 } ·

Hazel Findlay, after doing her third free route on El Cap:

Having freed three lines on El Cap now, with Freerider supposedly the easiest, I have to say that there really isn’t an easy way of freeing El Cap, and it’s a real achievement to even get up it at all.

In addition to her recent ascent of Freerider, Findlay has also freed the PreMuir and Golden Gate over the past few seasons.
