Whether it is an opportunity given to you by nature, or given to you by a sudden change in events in your life. When opportunity knocks, will you answer? The Window from Black Diamond Equipment on Vimeo. Some fantastic writing by Alex Honnold for Alpinist Magazine about Sendero Luminoso, his thought process is something different and maybe we can all take away a part from this. Geshido, Mac 70 Sendero Luminoso Alex Honnold Posted on: July 31, 2014 http://www.alpinist.com/doc/ALP47/70-sendero-luminoso-alex-honnold Alex Honnold approaches the crux of Sendero Luminoso (5.12+, Jackson-Peacock-Smith, 1994), El Potrero Chico, Mexico. "It is the most technically demanding and involved big wall I have climbed," he told Alpinist in a January 20, 2014 interview. [Photo] Cedar Wright
JANUARY 14, 2014: I'm connected to the wall by only a small, sharp limestone undercling above my head. The air is still and slightly humid. Trusting a tiny smear for my left foot, I raise my right foot almost to my waist, and I lever off it to reach my left hand to a distant jug. Six hundred feet of smooth grey rock sweep away beneath my feet, ending in the Mexican desert far below. The town of Hidalgo bustles in the distance, a sprawling grid of roads and rough houses built around a giant cement factory. Up here, away from the honking horns and the rumbling diesel engines, I'm alone and focused. I grasp the jug, shift my weight over my left side and charge up the final stretch of blocky terrain to a ledge. Alright guys, it's time to throw out the truth about the constant delay of postings. Unfortunately these days the videos just aren't that great and the quality has been replaced with quantity. It has become increasingly difficult to navigate through the utter shit of commonly-themed videos. (Which usually have something along the lines of "Epic" or "So Rad" in the title.) To find something worth posting has been a greater challenge than ever before. I will always continue my search though and will get them on here as soon as I can. For now...one of those trips that you would never forget. Amazing. Geshido, Mac Patagonia - Deep North from Corey Rich on Vimeo. |
