FYI - There's an article in the
National Geographic, May 2011 edition entitled, "A new generation of superclimbers is pushing the limits in Yosemite".

I think the essence of climbing can be conveyed with photography/video... it takes hard work, patience, and little bit of luck. Jimmy Chin has the right stuff. The video work is awesome!
