Yeah, pretty funny, 10 minute interview truncated and compressed into 2 seconds!! There will be cracks and such higher up so all the climbing is not face climbing. I have to describe the action so the non climber can understand what is going on as it seems, at the moment, the world has an insatiable appetite for this climb. I didn't want to use the word "traction" on the report but figured climbers would find it amusing and understand that it is not really about traction but friction, and edging. Hey... I ain't no English major, son!

Hey Tom,
Keeping "sending" for all us cubicle pukes. Keep the story coming and enjoy the craziness that must be the valley right now.
Cheers,

Yeah I think that pitch 15 was over rated... for me it went at 5.7c Funny how hardly anyone in this story gets things right!
