Agreed.
The Whillans harness makes it all the more suspicious.
Plus,.. I thought the Doninibird flew to Patagonia for the austral summer, but I spotted one at OR in SLC last saturday!

I think Philo's mixed stem is invalid. He's working a sporto drop-knee, or whatever they call it.

sorry about the route names on my pix....
image #1 - Linda ascends a great new route in Yosemite Valley which is still "embargoed" from publicity, this is a wonderful climb over 4 pitches (maybe 5?) and improbably at 5.9... Linda is sending the "money pitch" in that image, though there is more than enough joyful problems... like the traverse to extended reach-for-tree to monkey swing move on the last one that will have you whooping for joy.
image #2 - Melissa works the bottom part of Finger Lickin', 5.10d, Lower Merced Canyon, Yosemite Valley. Melissa, coming off the couch, nearly got this onsight.
image #3 - Eric Gabel exploring new territory somewhere in the High Sierra, while his comments just a bit after this were: "Hey Ed, I'm not really feeling it today," he pushed through his initial doubts and ended up authoring an awesome line: steep, stems, jams, underclings, three pitches worth of wonderful moves spicy up to about 5.10, with a fourth pitch that eases you onto a great summit and a 4th class scramble back to the base. Name: "Great Goggley Boogley" put up in July 2011.... location withheld to protect other innocent lines yet to be done (sorry).

I once watched a very 'accomplished' woman climber stem her way up an overhanging face climb. Made it look hard and awkward. I did it next with nary a single stem standing on all of the holds UNDER my feet. Stemming has a place but it ain't always a useful posture.

"Ah, the beautiful rock of Red Rocks, Nevada. The climbing here is so interesting that..."
"Beulah's Book, 5.9. The climbing on this pitch [P1] is wild, a very large chimney evolves in front of you amd you find yourself stemming and doing moves on both walls of the clime. The belay is casual in the chimney." "Kelly descending the Solar Slab Gully Rap 1 of 6"
This was all from another climbing wedgesite. And this is ST dope on the route, "one of the finest three-pitch routes of its grade..."
