Ryan Palo has done the 2nd ascent of Pierre Bollinger’s Shoot’m Up (5.14b) in Smith Rock, OR.  Writing on his blog about the ascent Palo offers some excellent advice about sticking with your projects…although the idea of putting more than zero burns in on a mono nightmare like Shoot’m Up makes me hurt just thinking about it…

Full FFA Of Hallucinogen Wall In Colorado’s Black Canyon

Posted May 27, 2011 at 6:29 am · Comments { 0 } ·

PlanetMountain has an interview with Austrian Hansjörg Auer on the heels of his FFA of Hallucinogen Wall (5.13+ R) in Colorado’s Black Canyon.  The route had been done mostly free back in 2004 by Jared Ogden and Ryan Nelson save for the 13th pitch which they drytooled with ice axes.  Says Auer, “I don’t really see the point of climbing a rock route and combining it with some drytooling.”
