Rock Climbing

[Butch]

I just heard Tommy Caldwell on NPR. He wrote a book. He and Beth Rodden got taken hostage by rebels on Trango Tower years ago; cool story in Outside Mag.

I think he is going to be at Planet Granite tomorrow.

I wished I had not missed him.
This is one of the greatest stories ever:

Good find Butch, had forgotten about Tommy Caldwell and Beth Rodden being there.

If you haven't read these might want to check them out.

If you're interested, Tommy gave a TED talk that I'm pretty sure is still accessible on YouTube.

By the way, long time PG Belmont member but now that I am working in San Jose, I am starting to climb at PGSV more and more so am looking for belay partners. Can do early mornings or evenings if anyone is interested.

I kinda want to go to Colorado and do a climb with Lynn Hill, but I better train a little first. I’m like a 5.9 at PG. If someone wanted to belay me at PGSV noonish (10-2?) that would be cool. PM me?
