Don't worry i heard they are going to make the lot larger to accommodate more climbers! They are hoping for record numbers this fall, its a science experiment to see how many people can fit into a climbing area...stay tuned for the results.

It's crazy that he rests 3 to 5 hours between attempts on hard endurance routes. Can you imagine a 5 hour rest break?

younger kids have much less weight to pull, while the strength in their tendons changes proportionally less over the years.

in other words, it's easier for young'ns to pull hard than it is for those who've "bulked up" (see photo of me below)
