Other News

It's Friday!

First, a few vids, courtesy of a link from the Narc, on what it's like to inadvertently climb the Nose in a Day. Inadvertently, you say? Well, check out the vids. I enjoyed the progression of fitness and energy loss throughout the recordings. Reminded me of how I felt at the end of the 24HHH comp last year. BTW, that's Sept 25-27 weekend this year and registration is very soon.

The Narc also included a famous rant on Aid Climbing - this one's pretty good in general:



Second, Craig, one of our local climbing dudes is headed out to Yosemite as I type, planning on a 2 week sendfest on the glacier polished granite in the Valley. We wish him lots of fun, luck and await his return. Craig's promised us a guest trip report, so we'll post something on that in a few weeks.

Happy Weekend!
