Just saw this about the third ascent of Beth Rodden's route "Meltdown"...pretty interesting story I thought.

On 22/11/2022, Italian climber Jacopo Larcher successfully made the 3rd ascent of the famous trad crack climb Meltdown in Yosemite Valley, USA.

Yeah such a bummer, only 66 yo. Guy was a climbing hero of mine. I pulled his book Snow in the Kingdom off the shelf yesterday to give it another read. I recall one of the stories he wrote for Climbing magazine, "The Book of Kor," as being one of the most moving climbing stories I have ever read. RIP Ed Webster.
back at this shit for my annual check in. i suck at ice. here’s my bud enjoying it.

the guiding company that owns the land had the main wall by the lot packed with more than 20 people for a supervised top rope session at dollar dollar bills rate.

they’re doing a little drip drip thing on the cliffs to keep them fat. lots of fat ice in quebec naturally but i won’t complain about a 2 minute hike in.
guess that box is checked, i should just start climbing at the winter crags already.
Great video. I just recently found out about Ed Webster passing back in November. I met him years ago -- incredibly nice guy. Great vision as a climber -- I've climbed a bunch of his routes in Colorado and Utah, and they're all classics.Quote:

Nice, got out at Rumney again today. Still doing easy stuff (5.8 and below today) as I get used to sport leading and outside again, but just stellar weather and great rock.
My buddy Ted Hammond opened up a bunch of routes in Rumney back in the 80’s. I went to Plymouth State
Did you see Nina Williams send China Beach?!Quote:

No idea who that is but Waimea was dead today - didn't see anyone there. Some people were pushing some burly shit on Bonsai though. Might have been them. Stunning day on the crag. Early drizzle so not many groups, but sun was out quick with some breeze so it so everything dried right up with 2/10 bug factor - about as good as it gets for spring in New England.Quote:

Now you know. She just made the first female ascent of China Beach, 5.14b. Grew up climbing there. One of the best in the world.Quote:

Nice! I'm spoiled and live 30 minutes from Pawtuckaway, so boulders are easy to find, it's just "man eating bugs" season right now...
put up my first trad climb of the year. fucking cold this morning.

Yup, did both. Castle Rocks was private land last time I climbed at the City. Idaho did a great job on that land acquisition.Quote:
