agreed on that video. got in a argument with a friend about alpinist mag. I argued that there is a very different feeling when you climb a long hard alpine route from that of a 15 foot long hard boulder problem. and that's what the authors were inflecting when they wrote about "connection with the rock" and stuff like that.
great pics and video. keep em coming.

You can remember a boulder problem or a sport climb for a few weeks at best, but the memories of a big alpine climb will last a lifetime. This is not intended to denigrate modern free climbing, but to suggest that they are two related, but different things.
Seeing people pushing hard on big mountains gives me hope that traditionl climbing is still alive, and not lost like I feared.

Where is Donini? He had some grand Patagonia tales Monday night. I'm sure he has some pics too.

Thanks Wayno for the wonderful tacos. I do indeed have some Patagonia photos that I will post on some rainy day in the near future.

It looks like a nice day in Patagonia. Not many places that shot could have been taken from.
