"The Puking Gecko, Grand Wall, *** S9 5.12d/e 712m - An intimidating and salacious climb. The final pitch is so exposed, tricky, and continuously strenuous that it is impossible to even contact the rock at any point. Better than making passionate love on top of a Japanese Bullet Train. Superbly magnificent and grimly brilliant."

Moving fast

I made another really fast speed solo ascent of Iztaccíhuatl via Ayoloco glacier on Saturday morning.

Once again I wanted to do 2 summit attacks on a single day, however, the weather was really bad so I decided to call it a day and stick with a single lap.

Despite of that, I was able to shave 2 1/2 minutes off from my previous April record, logging a great time of 3:31:07, from car to summit! Seems like training has been going really well during the last months
