Ég var að vonast eftir því að atvinnumennirnir pikkuðu þetta upp, er svona að velta fyrir mér hvort það er gott að setja sig í aðstæður þar sem sprungubjörgunar gæti verið þörf ef maður kann ekki að gera einfalda dobblun. Færslan virðist líka vera skelfilega stutt.
Flott mauv hjá ykkur Ármann! Blancurinn er flott fjall og þetta er mjög töff leið. Og bara gaman að koma þarna og sjá bæinn etc.
En eigum við ekki að halda áfram að reyna að blása lífi í þetta vefgrey?
Er fjallamennska hætt að vera sexý? Fíla þessa grein:
„A friend of mine said a few weeks ago that he was a little down on climbing lately, because he didn’t feel like he was ever going to crush it. I said, What’s your definition of “crushing it”? Because mine is leading 5.8 with a pack on in the mountains. I like climbing single-pitch routes as much as the next person, but what really gets me hot is getting out on a climb five or six miles from a trailhead and getting in a position where I really can’t fall. I have pulled 5.7 moves in the mountains that made me stop and take a few breaths beforehand, because I rewinded in my head what would happen if I broke a handhold or slipped out of a crack and fell 15 feet onto a ledge and broke an ankle there, 300 feet off the ground and 5 miles and 3,300 vertical feet of trail away from the car. And I think that’s the good stuff. But does anyone else?“
