SICK!! If you've ever been to headstone rock you know how the climbs feel airy due to the fact the boulder is resting high up on a pile with the desert floor all around you. Props to the soloist but not my cup of tea. Give me that rope!

	Hasn't voted	Yes, he is very much alive. In fact, he's my housemate in Joshua Tree. And he's one of the nicest people you could ever meet.

	Michele	Re: Does Paul do
	Hasn't voted	No, he doesn't train at all actually. He has been climbing for a very long time, but then so have a lot of people. I think it's just a matter of some people being gifted at certain things. And climbing is his thing.
