I can’t believe this happened like that!! Literally somebody from North Carolina, came out and did the second ascent of mongo! This happened last month and I made my prediction 17 years ago.

You mean start from the very base at Goodell? It could also be straightened out on the Ridgeline. Towers 3,4 and the pole could both go direct if your names were Honnold, and Caldwell.

What a pleasure It is to read this and relive some great memories. You two( three) are so devoted to the art of climbing and great at writing too! Thanks, really. I insist you guys send an edited version to a magazine pic. Your pictures are amazing as well. Did you take any video? we had our stuff taken from the bear box too, after the northern traverse. I hope they had a nasty hangover .

It says free, has anybody gone through the menu and signed up with the on X prompts? I’m just curious to see if it’s restrictive or invasive.

I think this route might have fallen apart?

Nice! Closing in on a dozen routes on the Spider! What a great venue you guys have in your area. We are gonna need a bigger guidebook!

Amazing adventure and astounding persistence! Glad the drytool crag could be of some assistance!!

Damn! Nice work I had my own go with that back in the 90s. What an epic wall, great job.

Well, this is, indeed, a unique pleasure! I never would’ve thought this would have seen a repeat attempt, and of course this is the first one I’ve heard of. I am so glad you enjoyed it. Such adventure !! I grew up climbing on choss, so that rock actually felt pretty solid to me, but we probably varied our lines from in our respective route fighting efforts. Cheers again to you, and we are running out of climbs of mine that haven’t seen a second attempt! I can only think of a few left at this point.

Thanks Porter!

You will have to add 2 rests to be viable. I tried a couple of different methods and they were bulky and cold to the touch. My conclusion: there are amazing tools out there, If ice and mixed are going to be your sport perhaps you should invest in it?

The bar keeps getting raised! Nice to see a couple of “Worldly” people on the big local venues! now, when does that Rock-wall get bolted?

Great report! You should send this to gripped magazine, they would love it.

Not sure if I can make it now..

Not sure if you’re set up for it but I would love to do some thing in winter.
