VIDEO: Jason Kehl 1st Ascent of 7th Circle _ Hueco Tanks, TX

I've been struggling mentally with a new line in Red Feather - I've put 2 solid months of effort into it.  In this perfectly produced vid, Jason documents his efforts over three years of attempts!  This is the type of  media we need more of; high quality and relevant to me as a boulderer.
All of sudden 2 months doesn't feel that bad...

TRAINING TIPS WITH DURNO!

World Class Athlete and all around good guy, Chris "Durno" Durnin has agreed to grace Fire The Rig with occasional training tips to stay fit, funny, and sending...
TRAINING TIP #1:  KEEP YOUR CORE TIGHT:
HOW?
1. Drink Beer always, especially at the crag.
2.Make sure one of your main climbing partners works at a Pizza joint so you have access to 'fit foods.'
3. Never, ever, ever, ever under any circumstance voluntarily 'do cardio.'
4. Pre-training meals should always include at least one Taco Bell Chalupa and one Coke (diet)
5. Bust out 45 sit ups and 45 push ups every three months or so.
