Another Day, More Hard Sends In Bishop For Nalle Hukkataival

Posted February 11, 2011 at 2:40 am · Comments { 6 } ·

This may have to become a recurring item but Nalle Hukkataival spent another day out on the boulders of Bishop, CA and he came away with quick 1 day sends of The Mandala (V12) and its corresponding sit start which is in the V13-14 range, this according to his 8a scorecard.  If you’re keeping score at home this is at least the 18th ascent of the Mandala SDS.

David Lama Reconsiders Cerro Torre Plans?

Posted February 1, 2011 at 11:59 am · Comments { 4 } ·

In what seems like a final update on last week’s David Lama “news”, Colin Haley reports that Lama has decided to forgo his plans to rap bolt on Cerro Torre.  Unfortunately for all climbers in the Patagonia region the weather this season has been bad even by local standards which has prevented much of anything, good or bad, from going down.
