Quite the Report

This report “A Love Affair with Gravity” is about a first ascent on a big wall in Greenland.

Some of the techniques they used to climb, give me the willies. Like this:

“As I scanned the rock, I found tiny features and edges, some only the width of a nickel. On each daisy chain I clipped a small selection of hooks, so each end was like a Swiss-army-knife selection of different hook sizes. They look like thick fish hooks, two to three inches long, and are used in a grappling-hook sort of way.”
