I want to duct tape him to a tree or something

Nice perspective, but inaccurate reporting bugs me. The author quoted a Sac gym employee, “He finishes El Cap and he get to the top and he says, ‘I just did four hours of exercise; I’m gonna hang glide today,’ ” Duffy said.

Now, AH definitely said he planned to hangboard later in that day, which still impressed me to no end. (I won't be disappointed if he didn't end up doing it having been swept up by the inevitable attentions spawned from the feat; it's the genuine thought that counts.) I wonder if Duffy misspoke or the author honestly misheard, but then, there is a possibility that the author or the editor changed from hangboarding, which can only be understood by part of the rock climbing community, to something -- hang gliding -- that a general public may have some grasp of. If the latter, I give the article an F grade.

Edit: Just saw in the comments following the article (I read it in the morning) that Duffy did not say hang glide.
