    Climbing with a pack on is the worst. It’s heavy, it’s awkward, and you don’t even use half its contents in the end anyway. I was stuck, by all accounts of the word. I couldn’t go up; I couldn’t go down; I couldn’t go sideways. I was stuck. And it was all because of this… https://climbingzine.com/eleventh-hour-half-dome-jason-haas/

Taylor is a relatively…<hr /><p><a href="https://climbingzine.com/to-live-and-die-in-yosemite-by-luke-mehall/">https://climbingzine.com/to-live-and-die-in-yosemite-by-luke-mehall/</a>
