Got to hang a new frame in the office today. 1951 reprint of an 1893 survey of Yosemite National Park. I have a weird goal to cover my walls with art and other things.
And related, here' a pic of Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgeson this week as they attempt to do the first free climb of the Dawn Wall on El Capitan... not sure if anyone is following that story. It's generally regarded as the hardest climb in the world. They've been On the wall since Dec 27.
Maybe I'll dig up some of the big pics and highlights for a thread later. One of the crucial moves in Jorgenson's climb yesterday involved an 8.5 ft dyno (jump, all hands/feet off the wall).
"A 'dyno' is short for dynamic and that's when all of your limbs — hands and feet — are off the rocks. So basically there's a huge 8.5-foot expanse of rock with nothing in between," Jorgeson says. "It's total porcelain. And on one side, it's a little doorjamb-sized edge that you can hang on to — and likewise on the other. And the only way to get between the two is to jump."

My butt cheeks were clenched so tight, I could of put a lump of coal in there and got a diamond out at our destination. Buses come flying down the roads and miss you by inches.
