Day 5 of the Dawn Wall & a Happy New Year!

Tommy and Kevin are making superb progress.  They had 3 super strong days climbing all the way through pitch 10.  The awesome part about their progress is that they are still feeling great.  Tommy told me last night that it's the best he's ever felt at this point on the wall and his skin is holding up well (which has always been an issue in the past).  Their rest day yesterday was timed perfectly with high winds and cold temps.

Today's business was pitch 11 (5.13c) and 12 (5.14b).  I was really curious what was going to happen today.  Pitch 12 is the pitch that gets their toes wet before they dive in to the crux pitches just ahead, and it has been a bit of a struggle in the past.  Tommy just called a couple hours ago with amazing news that he and Kevin both sent pitch 12.  On their first push attempt in 2010 it took Tommy 5 tries to finish this pitch and Kevin was never able to red point it.

Here's a little excerpt from the blog in 2010 from their pitch 12 attempt:

Waiting for them was pitch 12, which follows a left facing dihedral up until it kind of disappears and then it looks to be like traversing face climbing towards the end. Tommy commented that the first 30 feet is full of pumpy moves and the rest is very technical. He said the feet are terrible and no matter what you do they always have a high risk of slipping. By 10pm last night the boys had given the pitch 4 and 5 burns EACH before Tommy finally pulled through and got it. I believe Kevin's last burn was his fifth try with no success for that night.

Tommy's second push attempt in 2011 was just as nerve wracking on pitch 12 and took as many tries if not more.  That was the year I was up there belaying him and it was heartbreaking...he would get so close to the end and his feet would slip.  After a full on battle he did make it through that year.

The fact the guys made it through pitch 12 so quickly is huge!!!  This means tomorrow they will warm up with pitch 13 (5.12d) and then meet the moment and do battle with pitch 14 (5.14+).  Tommy said tonight that he thinks pitch 14 is probably the hardest pitch of the whole route.  This was the pitch that after 6 years of trying it over and over again Tommy finally red pointed this year and Kevin was painfully close as well.  So let's hope they have their beta down, are feeling strong, get primo conditions, the stars align and they can start out 2015 right with a team send of pitch 14!!

Keep sending the love to these guys!!!  Happy New Year!

A little flashback to Fitz in the Valley this past November.  Wishing you all the best in 2015!

  3. You've had such a great adventure! The time and effort required to climb a mountain can be too much of a task for many. You'll definitely agree with me that when you do make it to the peak you can rest assure that you are one of the few who make it up there and can revel in the beauty and rarity of such a view. Climbing is so inspiring! Please, keep writing about your family trips!

  12. My ex-husband and I had always managed to stay friendly after our divorce in February 2017. But I always wanted to get back together with him, All it took was a visit to this spell casters website last December, because my dream was to start a new year with my husband, and live happily with him.. This spell caster requested a specific love spell for me and my husband, and I accepted it. And this powerful spell caster began to work his magic. And 48 hours after this spell caster worked for me, my husband called me back for us to be together again, and he was remorseful for all his wrong deeds. My spell is working because guess what: My “husband” is back and we are making preparations on how to go to court and withdraw our divorce papers ASAP. This is nothing short of a miracle. Thank you Dr Emu for your powerful spells. Words are not enough. here is his Email: emutemple@gmail.com or call/text him on his WhatsApp +2347012841542

    He is also able to cast spell like 1: Lottery 2: Conceive 3: Breakup 4: Divorce 5: Cure for all kinds of diseases and viruses.

  14. I guess it is no longer a news that Dr.Ogudugu is the best spell caster, Winfield is my name and i have read good reviews about Dr.Ogudugu before i contacted him through these details via phone number +2348063739701 or via greatogudugu@gmail.com which i took from the Internet. I was so shocked when Dr.Ogudugu told me that once he cast the spell that my lover is going to come back within 48 hours and i was wondering how that could be possible but i must say i became the most happiest person on earth when my lover came back to me and since then i have been a huge fan of DR.OGUDUGU

  20. To everyone out there who thinks love spells don't work, I’m here to tell you that Lord Zakuza love spell is the best and most powerful. I am a wealthy man who has lots of assets and possessions but I have difficulty with women. Whenever I try to settle down with any, we end up breaking up and I had no idea of why I was going through such an experience in my relationship. It was so worrying that I couldn’t be myself anymore and I started searching for help everywhere even at my place of work. I was going through my work activities online and I came across a testimony of a lady called ( Febe Anouk ) regarding how Lord Zakuza helped her to restore her relationship with his love spell, I had to give it a try because I needed my Ex lover back that I love so much. I visited Lord Zakuza website online and I told him everything I was going through. Lord Zakuza consoled me and promised to help me out with my situation by preparing a love spell for me. I followed the instructions given by him to me and within 48 hours, my Ex lover came looking for me and pleaded for forgiveness. Since I came in contact with Lord Zakuza, things have changed for good in my life and right now, I am married with two beautiful kids and my home is blessed. All thanks to Lord Zakuza I am forever thankful to you. Visit his website for any help via lordzakuzaspells.com or WhatsApp him on +1 740-573-9483. Try him and your life will be blessed.

I gave him all my heart and every part of my body, but he made up his mind within seconds.I consulted Dr Benjamin after reading the testimonies about him with FAITH. Though the spell process took 2 days to call his distracted spirit back to where it belong and it wasn’t easy for me, but I am finally happy today that edward is fully back to me. We are happier than before and he appreciates me more all because of Dr benjamin love miracle. This spell is not evil and Dr benjamin did it, I respect his power and that’s why it worked out for me.
