Who is the second guy on the left next to Sharma?
I thought I saw him at the Oakdale festival but wasn't sure. Nik Berry? Will Stanhope?

The boys were on the wall today working on the 14c traverse between Mescalito and the Dawn Wall. It looked chilly there but they were still putting on a great show!

real old school valley
yup...just another day of bittchhin'
aboutfcukinanything any one says aboutfcukinjustaboutanything.
sharma? caldwell? Jorgenson? pussies!
lets see em swill old jingus at the deli, puke on their shoes then bail off the Zode!

Bitter old as#@&%e is more like it. Me too.
But we're not Robbins and Harding either.
Sound like an ass kicker even at their level.

Although more of a sport climber, Sharma doesn't have the fear. Have you seen the video of him freeing that line which Randy Leavitt bolted long ago on Mt. Charleston? He would skip many of the bolts to save strength and would take these enourmous whippers, pulling his belayer up fifty feet in the air with him.
This is a big deal. This will be the hardest route in the world, and finally sport climbing strength is touching Yosemite granite. Yo has kind of been out of the free climbing spotlight for a while compared to the sport areas, which are almost all caves.
They are running out of caves!!
Send, boys, SEND!!
