Bachar and Croft doing El Cap and Half Dome in a day sure has to be a highlight.

sorry, just posting out loud.

Munge gets back into aid, EPIC YO!
Bouldering goes off in the Valley and it becomes a destination for hordes that never tie into a rope. Camp 4 is no longer just a place to train for the bigger stone.

Any magazine which can't manage to spell "center" correctly in a headline carries scant credibility,
Don't you think, Anders?

The English speaking world spells it "centre". Those who speak and write the US dialect spell it "center".
As for the proper pronunciation of "roof"...
