Here is a good story.

"While Sabo insists it's all in a day's work, receiving acknowledgment is not."

I've never seen the ladders on Half Dome, though.

"Sabo, who also is a Paul Smith's College alumnus, said he was checking permits and standing at the base of the very popular Half Dome. The granite rock formation requires special permits because the face is only accessible by cables and ladders."

Took me a long time to figure out the Post Star is a newspaper in upstate New York, near Vermont. Sure wish they'd put a location on the web.

Ha! Just said the same thing (scrolled down to the very bottom small-print to find the location)


The body betrays and the weather conspires, hopefully, not on the same day.
