Kimmo Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 shit, nice shots man. that second one gives me vertigo. Quote
pink Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 isn't "the tempest" a route on el cap? i believe it starts right before the penji pitch on "space".... doesn't denali have two names? half the guy's who work for me have 4 or 5 names Quote
Off_White Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 Tom, thanks for chiming in. Â I'd like to remind everyone that this is a TR, and as such you should all be polite and respectful, even when disagreeing. Quote
Choada_Boy Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 I found the other thread! I'll take my armchair over there. Quote
RuMR Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 Even though I lack the skill or drive to climb this route, I've decided to rename it "The Tempest Wall" because Blake and Sol had the balls to head up the thing in the first place, in shitty weather, and freed everything except the roof pitch, IMMSMC. Lynn Hill didn't rename The Nose did she? You free one pitch, in less than alpine style, and you rename the whole climb? Â I won't comment on the controversy other than to say that this quote is about the worst case of armchair dickishness I've ever read. The guy went out and climbed some hard shit that the vast majority of us will never be able to free and in doing so completed a major goal of his. Is that not what this is all about? Â Nice job Tom! Â dood...totally agree...choada STFU...are you kev's long lost little sister??? Sheesh... Quote
kevbone Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 Blake and Sol. Nice work on this climb. Tom, incredible send, thanks for sharing. Tom, where thinking of renaming this entire route? Or just this one pitch? Â Again, awesome job. Quote

Dane Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 "Tom, incredible send!" Â I agree and it says a lot to post pictures of yourself getting spanked before the send. Class act imo. Quote
Sol Posted September 1, 2009 Author Posted September 1, 2009 Â Â I really can't wait till I get my drivers liscence now... holy smokes I cant wait to try this! Â The highschoolers are getting psyched! Â Great shots Tom, way to stick with it! Quote
