A masterpiece. But Alex Honnold gets credit for the first solo of the RNWF route of Half Dome.

Did Bachar ever comment on Long's "The Only Blasphemy" story, either on supertopo or elsewhere? I did a cursory search and didn't find anything (I'm sure I'll get my google shortcoming handed to me on a platter now).

Thanks,
Darwin

Just listened/ watched that link cowpoke posted. Incredibly poignant, ESP today on the fourth anniversary!

The post script had me in tears
Every climber needs to check that out.

I hope Largo continues to preform and record his written work.

Thanks poke.

What's wrong with your people? ANY solo story is an amazing solo story. Who else does this kinda stuff? Who else puts themselves out there? Climbers, that's who.

Just listened to the JL reading of the Climbing Narc video... A powerful story I've long known. Made all the more powerful and touching by his postscript. Beautiful.
