Just saw this about the third ascent of Beth Rodden's route "Meltdown"...pretty interesting story I thought.

On 22/11/2022, Italian climber Jacopo Larcher successfully made the 3rd ascent of the famous trad crack climb Meltdown in Yosemite Valley, USA.

Yeah such a bummer, only 66 yo. Guy was a climbing hero of mine. I pulled his book Snow in the Kingdom off the shelf yesterday to give it another read. I recall one of the stories he wrote for Climbing magazine, "The Book of Kor," as being one of the most moving climbing stories I have ever read. RIP Ed Webster.

back at this shit for my annual check in. i suck at ice. here’s my bud enjoying it.



the guiding company that owns the land had the main wall by the lot packed with more than 20 people for a supervised top rope session at dollar dollar bills rate.



they’re doing a little drip drip thing on the cliffs to keep them fat. lots of fat ice in quebec naturally but i won’t complain about a 2 minute hike in.

guess that box is checked, i should just start climbing at the winter crags already.

Great video. I just recently found out about Ed Webster passing back in November. I met him years ago -- incredibly nice guy. Great vision as a climber -- I've climbed a bunch of his routes in Colorado and Utah, and they're all classics.

The photo is of me climbing Supercrack in the early 1990s. While leading it, I was thinking of Earl Wiggins placing just a handful of Hexes during the first ascent of this pitch.
