Pink Rain
IN SEPTEMBER 2007, I encountered a new kind of Yosemite rain. My friend John Schmid, a pediatric nurse, and I left Oakland, California, before dawn, driving through thunderstorms to the Valley. Our goal was Beggar’s Buttress, a nine-pitch 5.11c. Double-fisting energy drinks and chewing nicotine gum, John tore up the mountain roads in his Subaru while I white-knuckled in the passenger seat.

It's Not A Free Solo, It's A Highball, DAD!
OH. MY. GOD. Stop worrying! You and mom are such babies. I’m not going to “kill myself climbing without a rope” because that doesn’t even make sense. I’m a boulderer. You can’t boulder with a rope because then it wouldn’t be bouldering. Roped climbing is for losers: Do I look like I’d hangdog for an hour wearing orange pants and doing jazz hands so I can climb five more feet to the next bolt and then do it again? I know you saw Alex Honnold on 60 Minutes and suddenly you think you know everything about climbing. But, uh, actually? You don’t know anything. What I do is called HIGHBALL BOULDERING, not FREE SOLOING, and it’s completely different.
