"As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life - so I became a scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls."

From TADpole to TADmanClimbed TAD along with Soler on a recent trip with JD Sacklin to Devils Tower. I had climbed the Durrance the previous summer and actually found TAD more difficult. While TAD is rated easier than the Durrance and has fewer pitches, the exposure on TAD is much more intense. The route consists of a gigantic 300 foot long vertical crack with a single hanging belay in the middle. Bring lots of cams on this one.
