one must wonder how that guy actuall falls off of something!?!? Weak fingers?? Not a climber AFAIK

How about this one d00d!?!?! One arm muscle up into a one arm dip into a one arm flag Xj48SlxgU1Q

Rob Miller can do multiple one arm pull ups and not rotate into a chin up yeah, well, i like my rotator cuffs in one piece...john gill used to be able to do front levers with a one arm...then he tore his bicep off... I hear that

clean with my right arm, not so with my left, but its close...i used to be able to several both arms...my suspicion, is that when my weight is down, it'll come back... When you get both shoot some video and post it... I think it would be rad to see especially if you can do each arm without coming off the bar

BAD ASS! Both arms? Chin up or pull up? I'm getting close... but I weigh 187

Rudy: can you do a one arm pull up or chin up yet?

Let's see some % body fat measurements

I think the movie running time is longer than the amount of time it took them to climb the nose :sleep: Its alright... I think they could have edited out a good portion of it. It should be pointed out that this documentary finished filming before they actually broke the nose speed record... it wasnt apparent (at least to me) from the trailer or the description so I sat through the whole movie waiting for them to fire the thing and then it ends. Something else that wasnt apparent in the trailer/description was they did some filming of the brothers attempting the cerro torre traverse... not so much the climbing (actually very little) it was more sitting around waiting for good weather... it was funny (at least to me) to listen to Dean Potter and the brothers hype how a big a deal/nearly impossible it is going to be to pull it off... guess they didnt know you needed to be a big baller for real And speaking of the chongo and dean interviews made you feel like you had just read a kevbone thread With that said they have some solid footage of them firing off the boot flake, the great roof and some other famous features with ease. Also cool to see some of there speed tactics in action. I'd say its a rental but not sure if/where you could rent it from

Sounds like no pub club then...? Team Harro, Shannon and I are going tonight

Omega Pacific Link Cam Inspection Notice

Roll call cake eaters! This: vLpRydQ0jFY is playing this week only at the Cinema 21 Theatre on NW 21st @ 7 pm only (so no whining about it being on the wrong side of the river). Cash in that kitchen pass (or bring your wifee ), come drink some and watch buff Germans climb an el cap route really fast. I heard pink climbed it once! I vote for either Tuesday (tomorrow) or Thursday. Vote only if you are coming. Whose in? Bill Coe, Ivan, DonnV and Cobra Commander: first round is on me

Thanks for putting this on FF! I can only imagine the amount of planning and prep work it takes to pull this off each year... big props for doing something positive for the climbing community

Crazy story Dane! I'm glad you finally put it on paper! Heal up so we can ice climb this winter!

Sometime around 2010. They are currently leaning towards a toll bridge. You think a toll bridge is going to be significantly faster?

Hopefully with the top down. Yeah you guys will look real cool sitting in traffic grid lock waiting to cross the I-5 bridge

How would you know? You live in Vancouver

Sent you an email

Great pics Sol and Fender4 Did anybody get a good look (or better a pic) of how snow free the ice cliff arete (the ridge climbers left of the ice cliff glacier/ice fall)?

Nice job sniffing out that approach! Good you guys got away unscathed! Great TR!

Great pics guys That third pitch on the north side of the west ridge is rad huh

I hear you Bill! That is were a solid, educated trainer/coach comes into play. All of those workouts if done incorrectly can flatten even the fittest among us... having a trainer to ensure you are doing things correctly is key. More importantly: communicating to your trainer issues/ailments you have had in the past as well as other forms of training you are doing (gym sessions, running, skiing, etc) will allow them to modify the workouts to ensure you arent going to reinjury yourself or overuse certain muscles. Great example would be Shannon broker her ankle this year... my coach was able to modify the workouts so she could continue to workout and continues to modify them as she has slowly restrengthened that leg. What most people commonly think is when you start this type of training they just throw you to the wolves and start you on RX level workouts... most people do scaled down workouts for the first three months before scaling up. And I hear you on the time thing. We're all busy

AYCE: this thread has a good topo of what Tom/Tennessee described. I would recommend it: thread Assuming you take the slow boat to Stehikin a good time table is ride the bus as high as you can (or bum a ride) and hike to 8 mile campground (goes quick/easy trail) and camp. Second day cross the river and schwack up to the onto the glacier. Takes ~1/2 day if you are smart about picking a clean line up through the brush. You could summit Dome the second day fairly easily or camp below some of the prominent faces that only have one route on them. Hope this helps!
