Cette fois c’est certain: Noj et Dom partent le 4 septembre 2004 pour une semaine d’escalade de folie au Yosemite en Californie.
Des coinceurs et des friends à Gogo dans un des plus beaux endroits sur terre!
Ca va être très fort …
Après une semaine d’initiation pour lui sous la conduite de Dom, le vieux ranger du Yos, il y aura droit à deux mois de grimpe au plus haut niveau sur la côte ouest et qui sait un big wall.
Il y a un an c’étaient les grandes parois.
Noj pour célébrer cet anniversaire vient de m’envoyer ce texte.
C’est tellement hilarant que je vous le partage ici.
« I went to the gym for the first time in over two months after returning from a road trip. It fucking sucks. I was falling all over the place too, and those holds were hurting. My fingers are sore as hell. I watched in dismay as I got smoked by 17 year old gym rats. Then some kid who’s never touched stone in his life told me that I could be pretty good if I just improved my finger strength and then he started to walk away. So I grabbed him and threw him against the wall and I took his fucking head and I put it on the fucking floor and said: ‘you mutta fucka, I’ve taken 50 foot falls onto tiny tcu’s, I got respect in all 5 boro’s — sport, trad, big wall, ice, and alpine. My mudda can hold her head high in any crag in this country. Look at me, I got 26 first ascents under my belt and you’re going to walk out on me? I walk out on you.’
I mean I said: ‘yeah, I really need to work on my finger strength’….. » — Christian Brooks
Keep on rocking moi je retourne au Denali …
