I work with and right next to the legendary John Buchard every Mon-friday. Not many know that he resides in Bend, OR. We go bouldering but he hates sport climbing.Dude's over 50 and still pulls down HARD! And like Dru I've smoked pounds with Chongo down at Todd Gordon's ranch in J-tree

I was on the nose and tommy caldwell and beth rodden were right ahead of us - they were just going to dolt tower with a client. caldwell led off, and before beth started to climb, i found myself staring at her belay loop. "hmmm", i thought, "beth rodden's belay loop..." then i thought, "hey look, she has two mini traxions attached to her belay loop!" i asked what was up, and she told me about her tr solo rig. she was ascending solo on a fixed line with mini traxions while tommy dealt with their client errr friend. "Tommy showed it to me," she said, and then she was gone. thats how i learned how to get great mileage in on tr solo, by looking at beth rodden's belay loop.
