Chuck and I shot together in South Africa last summer where I had the opportunity to explore the VAST potential for highball/solo first ascents. Chuck captured several of these for CORE, including:

Battle in the Bubble

It's coming. The Battle in the Bubble. May 14-15, 2010 in Boulder, Colorado. Professional Climbers International (PCI) and The Spot have teamed up to bring a fresh new competition format, amazing outdoor venue and the top athletes to Boulder for what is surely to be a very exciting event. Check out the videos:

Whew!

Well, the weather finally descended upon us and forced us off the wall for a few days. A decent sized storm came through the Sierras and dumped a lot of fresh snow. We are going to give it a few days for the ice to stop falling and the wall to dry out, then get back after it early next week. The verdict from the last trip up the wall was: it all goes. The Molar Traverse is an amazing, mega-classic, super hard pitch. But totally possible!

Matador Sports shot me an email while I was on the wall, asking about how the progress was coming. I just got the chance to answer the questions and the interview has been posted here: http://matadorsports.com/interview-kevin-jorgeson-on-free-climbing-el-caps-hardest-route

We'll be back.
