Big shout out to Mike Schneiter and Steve Smith who are going for the Nose in a day today. They were crushing while we were in the Valley last week, so I don’t doubt it will go well for them. As I sat and stared up at El Cap, it definitely boggled my mind that it can be climbed so fast. Word on the street is that Hans and Yugi are going back to reclaim their record, should be interesting to see how it all shakes out. Generally I think speed records are kinda of silly, but you gotta respect covering 3000 feet in only 2.5 hours. Damn!

In other news, ever wonder how Sonnie Trotter trains for all those 5.14 trad routes? All Climbing has a great video showing his typical training routine. Pimpin and Crimpin highlights Eldorado Canyon. And lastly, the new Rifle/Western Colorado guidebook will be available for sale on this site starting on Monday, just got to get some kinks worked out in the backend.

Have a great weekend everybody!
