Thanks ElCap
My only meaning was JB wasn't involved in the accent that established the line known as Peace. Everybody knows the story of Peace. It was quite the statement.
Have you been on it?

yeah Mikey - Night Shift it is, but it will have to wait another season as we've packed up and are heading to Spain.

Wow.....sweaty palms reading! Right on Katie, that kind of crimpy climbing is beyond my imagining. Can't imagine ever getting my size 12 feet comfortable on those "holds" let alone being able to see them in the first place.

Great work, Katie! Very exciting read and stellar FFA.

I predict that you'll remember each of those moves long after the Spanish sport climbs are forgotten :)

A couple shots of Katie leading Black Angel from the summer of 2009, the year Bachar died.

I am continually amazed at the progress I have witnessed in womens climbing over the past 50 years. Back in the 1950s I would not have guessed the fairer sex would do so very, very much. It was a different time - a "foreign country" - and expectations were pitifully insufficient.

Well done, Katie.
