Tonight I attended a presentation by Tommy Caldwell and Beth Rodden on their experiences in climbing, the events in Asia, and their life together. Considering she's 23 and he's 25, they've had quite a life, it was a pretty cool presentation, so I thought I'd mention it here...for those of you who enjoyed Touching the Void...there story might be right up your alley...

The presentation was sponsored by the AMC, Arizona Mountaineering Club, and Fritzski (John) happened to be in attendance as well...it was good to see him...
