Roasting coffee at the HR Coffee Company

Well every so often I fill in at the Hood River Coffee Company roasting coffee for Mark and Peggy. This time it's because Mark is on a solo climb of El Capitan. Mark is 54 years old and will become the oldest to solo this route. It has taken him a total of 13 days which he will summit sometime today. When you solo, you need to carry all your supplies like a gallon of water for each day (gallon weights 8 lbs.) so thats almost 100 plus pounds in just water. Then you actually climb your route twice, you climb a pitch setting anchors along the way, haul your bag with all your gear, repeal down and clean up all your anchors you set before moving on to the next pitch. Quite a feat! Way to go Mark.



What's next in Snowboarding?
