I've descended El Cap so many times … now I'm going to do some mountain biking and safe climbing. JR: I don't know what's next, but we won’t break our record.

As far as the future, I have a few big-wall free-climbing goals planned.

I think I'm moving to Las Vegas for the winter to climb in the desert. What’s next? Do you think you’ll try to break your own record?īG: I'm not going to try again-it's really dangerous. I have so much to process before I’ll understand what this experience means to me. JR: No crying or hugging, but I screamed a bit. We took a selfie, posted it on Facebook, and hiked back down. Turtle Diarys speed typing game is a fun and interactive typing game for kids of all ages Practice makes perfect - make the art of learning to type engaging. After a bit, I texted Hans and Honnold-they were psyched. We just sprawled out for a few minutes without speaking. What did you guys do on top after Brad tagged the tree?īG: There was no one up there. Aid-climbing is part of my skillset, so I took the lead on those sections. It’s nice to know he probably won’t fall during a route, whether it’s 5.9 or 5.11+. JR: Brad is an animal, especially at free-climbing. And he doesn’t do anything that could kill us. to Evergreen State College, whose mascot is the geoduck and goes by the name Speedy the geoduck. I trust Jim-he communicates when he’s concerned. Geoduck is a tricky word, pronounced gooey-duck. What made you a great team?īG: We're both pretty bold, but we also know our limits and when to draw the line. Once we broke into the 2:20s, we knew that any small mistake could blow an attempt. Brad and I started trying again this September once he’d healed.īG: By the end of last fall, we knew we could possibly get it this season, which added to our stress. I returned to Yosemite in April, put in some relaxed laps, and those helped me learn the route’s intricacies. Then, last February, Brad broke one of his ankles while climbing near Vegas. It seemed so beyond impossible that we’d joke, "if Dean can do it, we can do it." By the end of fall 2016, our best time was below three hours-I felt like that was a lifetime accomplishment, but we agreed to try again in 2017. JR: We started trying in the spring of 2016. From stirring up the crowd to representing their college around the state and country, see if your school made the list of the 25 Most Bizarre and Outlandish College Mascots.When did you start working on this project? And some were just brilliantly bizarre – check out #11 or #2 to find particularly good examples of these. Lookup the home address and phone 3102595246 and other contact details for this person. Some were failed attempts at ferociousness, such as the University of Oregon’s Duck Vader.

Some were student protests at overly rigid or corrupt university administrations. Some of them were student jokes which caught on, such as the huge beer keg at Dartmouth known affectionately known as Keggy the Keg. In this list, we picked our favorite bizarre and outlandish college mascots from across the United States. Some are weird, funky, or just plain bizarre college mascots. Some college mascots look intimidating on the field or court, such as the Florida Gators or the Michigan Spartans. But prosecutors know proving the case is going to be difficult. The only thing higher in Arkansas is capital murder,' said Joe Graham. 'Kevin Duck was charged with murder in the first degree. Cops arrest Kevin Duck for the murder of Dawna Natzke. Colleges and universities look to capitalize on these feelings by generating school spirit, an abstract concept often summed up and brought out by a college mascot. 'Kevin Duck was clearly the person who had killed Dawna Natzke,' said Graham. College is one of the most memorable times in a person’s life, largely due to being surrounded by fresh-thinking, eager students, and a strong camaraderie (and sometimes the lure of cheap beer).
