→ Being Alex Megos∞

Posted August 29, 2013 at 9:48 am · Comments { 4 } ·

Nice interview with Alex Megos by Nick Fletcher:

Watching Alex climb is like watching an elite athlete running or swimming (for example). There’s no discernible effort – yet you know how hard he’s trying and in some cases you know first hand how hard the moves are from your own attempts, Alex just pieces the moves together with a calmness and fluidity that only comes from years of climbing and training at the highest level.

It’s also worth noting that in addition to doing the FA of Australia’s hardest sport route, Megos established a new link-up in the Hollow Mountain Cave called Wheelchair that he feels is harder than the well-known Wheel Of Life.  Vertical Life has all the details on that, although at this point I feel like I could use some sort of interactive map to figure out all the possible variations in this massive cave!

As usual these days, if it doesn’t happen on Instagram it didn’t happen.

The it in this case is 12-year-old Ashima Shiraishi making a quick 2 day repeat of The Automator (V13) in RMNP, CO. She is the 2nd female to climb this problem after Angie Payne in 2010, and she is the youngest person of either gender to climb this quintessential Park testpiece.

Jade next??

→ Manslaughter Charges Filed In Tito Traversa Accident∞

Posted August 26, 2013 at 9:50 am · Comments { 8 } ·

DPM does some rough translation work on this article, published in an Italian newspaper, which indicates that five people have apparently been served with manslaughter charges in the July death of 12-year-old Tito Traversa.  Given the language barrier, the dearth of real detail about what happened in the accident, other than the well-publicized faulty draw setup, and the fact that this is taking place in the European legal system, it’s hard to make any definitive statement about what this all means other than the obvious which is that none of this will help bring Traversa back to life.  Other than that it will be interesting to see how this story plays out.

Do not adjust your computer.  This is just how fast Adam Ondra climbs these days.

On a related note:  could anyone else make something like the bottom part of Move look so easy yet have so much credibility when calling it hard 5.

→ Caldwell, Mills Climb First 5.14 On The Diamond∞

Posted August 22, 2013 at 4:06 pm · Comments { 3 } ·

Impressive:

Tommy Caldwell and Joe Mills have redpointed the first 5.14 route up the Diamond on Longs Peak, the premier granite wall in Colorado’s high mountains. The two free-climbed the full Dunn-Westbay aid line in four rope-stretching pitches, with an 80-meter crux second pitch (5.14a).

It’s also worth giving credit to Caldwell and Jonathan Siegrist who gave up their efforts on the route last week to assist with a nearby rescue operation underway to help a badly inured climber.
