Drop big rapids. Walk bigger lines. Climb the biggest rocks. Don't suck. ----------------------------- "Ultimately, martial art means honestly expressing yourself... I mean it is easy for me to put on a show and be cocky... Or I could show you some really fancy movement. But to express oneself honestly, not lying to oneself... And to express myself honestly-- Now that, my friend, is very hard to do." - Bruce Lee

Considering The Nose?:
Most of the accidents that happen on the Nose are the same types of accidents that happen elsewhere. Climbers succumb to objective hazards. They take falls and pull out protection. They get tired, overestimate their abilities, or make mistakes. A climb of this scale elevates not only the climber’s ambition, but also the stakes, in a way that only 3,000 feet of towering granite can.
If you’re considering a run up the Nose, then this is a good write up to reference when considering the errors that people have made in the past. Like the quote says, accidents on a Big Wall are the same kind that happen at the crag….you’re just 2,000 feet off the ground.

"It's all good, baby!" Getting wiggly with the homies on Foe Hammer to some dank beats. Dancing and unconventional movement on a slackline is something I've been working on lately, and taking it into the air seemed to be the next logical step.

Here I am on the incredible second pitch of The Priest in Castle Valley Utah. It was only a little run-out…
