Urban Mountaineering

If you're into climbing (like me) and familiar with Portland (also like me), you may find this post pretty awesome. If you're neither of those things, I'm guessing that you won't find it interesting/funny at all.

A few of the reasons why I liked this:

- they actually used wands to mark the route back to their "bivy"
- I love the photo of the guy jumping the "bergschrund"
- the sequence where they "lighten their load" for a sprint to the top is classic

These guys were just totally committed to their "adventure," which I totally admire.
