Great story Guido. Giving Jeff a call tomorrow, he's interested in getting a place near where Lito and I have homesteaded in Chilean Patagonia.

Few pictures have ever come close to that Rebuffett shot on one of the pinnacles (Aguille de?). Dudes just running it out with no apparent pro in sight as the lead line goes right to his waist.
Great story to start it Guido! Nice ones that followed too, thanks to all.
Gaston not gastoning.....
is this correct? Gaston
A climbing grip using one hand with the thumb down and elbow out. The grip maintains friction against a hold by pressing outward toward the elbow.

Joe:
Don't know how I missed this story first time around. As one who grew up with my brother's copy of "On Ice Rock and Snow" you are one of my new climbing heroes.
Please know that you are invited and welcomed to stay at my "old climber's camp" at anytime. We have aid slings and plenty of overhangs!

About time for another ascent?
Shortest approach in Yosemite.
Timing critical.
Boodawg style road closure?

Dam, almost 6 years since this masterpiece ascent was posted. Grossman wants me to use this as the lead talk in his 2027 Oakdale Festival................

Start working on your French Technique bro...with appropriate permission, of course!
The New Mountain Room Bar truly needs some manly enhancement not involving clergymen.

Little Joe,
Hmmmm ... 2027. I'd be 95. Even if I tried to make it, I probably would neither be able to see nor hear it.

I will gently remind everyone that speaking harshly of Mr. Rebuffat, or making fun of him, will be regarded as heresy by myself and other influential international playboys. All heretics are guilty by definition and will be dealt with swiftly and without mercy. That is all.
