→ Yosemite Post-Shutdown∞

Cheyne Lempe, in an interview with Climbing.com, on what it is like in Yosemite now that most everyone has been forced to leave due to the government being shutdown:

This past week has honestly been one of the most incredible experiences I have ever had in the park. It’s almost eerie how quiet it is.

I live in a tent cabin in the back of Camp 4, so the constant noise of car alarms, traffic, screaming children, and drunken hollering from all the people is nonexistent.

Last week Camp 4 was completely full, now there are only a few abandoned tents. I’ve been noticing more of the subtle beauty of this place.

Sounds amazing.

→ Making The Most Of A Bad Situation∞

Remember that one time that Chris Sharma was going to join Tommy Caldwell and crew for a season on Yosemite’s Dawn Wall but couldn’t because the government shut down and Yosemite was closed?  That was pretty cool uncool.  According to Climbing.com, instead of trying to stick it to the man and try to climb in the park illegally, Sharma has moved on to something else for now:

Kept out of Yosemite by the government shutdown, and thus unable to work on the Dawn Wall as planned, Chris Sharma traveled south for another mega-project: a futuristic route on Clark Mountain.

Go on…

→ El Cap Report Returns For Fall 2013 Season∞

Posted September 17, 2013 at 12:59 pm · Comments { 0 } ·

It’s baaaaack:

So take a break Cupcakes, Cubicle Pukes, Internet Climbers, and get ready for today’s report … ditch the kids, the spouse, the pets… because this is your time to head up on ElCap with old Captain Tom!

It should be an interesting season with Tommy Caldwell’s Dawn Wall project set to continue this season provided that the devastating floods near Caldwell’s home in Estes Park haven’t derailed his plans.

Honnold, Wright Enchain California 14ers by Bike, Foot, And Free Solo

Posted July 23, 2013 at 9:41 am · Comments { 5 } ·

I’m not sure what’s crazier, free soloing something like Half Dome or climbing 15 14ers in California in three weeks without using a car:

Over three weeks and one day, Alex Honnold and Cedar Wright pulled off a unique adventure in their home state of California: enchaining all of the state’s 14,000-foot-plus peaks (and then some), using only two bikes and their own two feet for transportation. Along the way during this remarkable journey from Mt.

Shasta to Mt. Langley, the two biked more than 700 miles, hiked at least 100 miles, and climbed over 100,000 vertical feet, often via difficult technical rock climbs.
