I tried to go up Coyote Calling like three years ago with a buddy of mine, it did not go very well. I had only been desert climbing a few times and thought I had a handle on 5.11+ crack climbing, I didn't, or maybe I did and this thing was really 5.12. Anyway, we bailed after the second pitch because it was beating us to a pulp. All I remember is that there was a heinous exit move at the 1st pitch and there was also a little airy traverse at the start of the second pitch too? The line looked good just above my head at the time, I've never talked to anyone else who's gone up there and tried that thing...Nice work! Give us a shout when you head back our way...peace.

Starring a couple of great Canadian actors, Donald Sutherland as a sleazy tv promoter, Al Waxman as a Hollywood exec, and Stefan Glowacz as the champion indoor climber now being pushed to a solo seige assault on Cerro Torre. Stafan's character lied about the first ascent at the suggestion of Sutherland's character. It's a bit cheesy for a 1991 movie but not bad if you stick with it. Check it out. There's a few cameos of what looks like Messner. Cheers, Steve Hey Sonnie,

I'm back to work and still in shock from that. Not so much climbing but I'm compensating it with drinking. Take care!! greets Niek (dutchy) Hey Sonnie,
