"Is one climb worth it?" Is ascending one tenuous line of holds worth the risking of getting seriously injured? Nick Muehlhausen found the answer to his question last December, when he added his name to the short list of those who have pieced together Too Big to Flail, the super highball at Bishop freed in 2012 by the maestro of nerves of steel Alex Honnold.
"I got to a point when my mind was so prepared, perhaps more prepared even than my body" explained Muehlhausen who a few minutes prior to the successful send wasn’t intimidated in the slightest by a huge whipper off the crux. Luckily his fall was absorbed by 27 crash pads...
Those who linked the crimps prior to Muehlhausen are Honnold, Lonnie Kauk, Steven Roth, Ethan Pringle and Fabian Buhl.
