Was just about to post the same thing!

Is he wearing makeup in that interview!? Love how the program is sponsored by Viagra!

I like the way John Long says that there are only a handful of people who could do Phoenix with a rope. Chinny reckon

Amazing - that route was the highpoint of my trip to Yosemite nine years back. That crux pitch is hard - Sam fell off leading then I needed a couple of sneaky pulls on gear seconding. Surprised they didn't mention Derek Hersey dying soloing the Steck-Salathe just to the right.

That's a great video. That presenter's fantastic!

SA Chris · October 03, 2011, 09:35:07 pm

She's quality.And that accent is all over the place.

Wonder if there was a report on how stoked he was afterwards?

Ethan · October 03, 2011, 09:56:33 pm

She's lovely.

Doylo · October 03, 2011, 10:27:16 pm

grimer · October 04, 2011, 09:23:44 am

For fans of that presenter with the crazy accent,

What is that route Honnold is soloing?

The CBS 60 Seconds video has footage of The Phoenix (only a very small amount) and Sentinel Wall. The other video linked is Alone on the Wall which shows him soloing Moonlight Buttress and Half Dome

SA Chris · October 04, 2011, 04:05:53 pm

Isn't the formation called Sentinel Rock?

Maybe it's the classic Steck Salathe? Were grades mentioned?

edit - no it doesn't look like the SS.
