"On the Wendenstock in southern Switzerland, if a 50-meter pitch has five bolts it's considered pretty weak sauce. It's common to climb overhanging 5.12 rock 30 to 50 feet above your last point of protection. Huge falls are standard and every bolt you come across feels like a gift straight from God." Tommy Caldwell on Zahir.Kate Rutherford on Keeper of the Flame, Yosemite National Park, California
