I figured you did, I was just giving a little more flavor of the climb, which I suppose now will become VERY popular!

ElfManDan

I imagine so. After this commercial loads of people will probably have a greater interest in climbing it themselves. I know it interests me now, though not like I have the time or money at the moment.

Well, we are 8 hours away by car so at least you have a base camp where you can stay for free. :)

I did a little bit of climbing out in the Carlisle area of Pennsylvania back in my school days  - but that was nothing like this!

Well if ever I do decided to make the climb I'll be sure to let you know. :D

i just stick to rock walls in gyms. generally much smaller and they look much less terrifying. :unsure

Yeah, well, since I've had more surgeries in the last 5 years than most people have their entire lives, AND an artificial shoulder, I'll just sit back and live through you guys. Sad, isn't it! :) Nothing worse than an old warrior (or, athlete!) that's outlived their usefulness!!

Al, I'm sure there is still plenty of excitement in your life! It's not always big expeditions that make for some of the funnest adventures.

The last part of that climb sounds similar to skiing the "couloir" in Whistler where there are signs saying it is a "no fall zone". Trust me, I won't fall if I can help it!

I kid, I've done enough rock climbing to know how that works. I was just getting Assassin's Creed flashes thinking about standing on the top of that.
Yeah except where's the haystack when you really need it?

I bet it's down there near the bottom somewhere. How could they forget to have a haystack near by.
