Mammoth Trip, 2026

Climbing




Bill in the crack.




Bill had some advantage in places because of his longer reach, but typically he climbs lower grades and runs out of steam faster, and yet he made it to the anchor as well, and probably quicker. I'm particularly proud of both Stella and especially Bill for not only daring but persevering through the extreme effort! -F.
