No Siesta?

From Will Sim today, "feeling skinny after three long days and two long nights on the Jorasses, now time for a big SIESTA."



Which I would suspect means he andJon Griffith just did another note worthyascent of the Grand Jorasses,this one,No Seista,VI+ WI5 M8 E5. Congrads gentlemen!



"No Siesta isvery long and demanding ( 1100 m, VI +, WI5 and M8): probably one of the hardest, free, mixedclimbing, big wallroutes in theAlps."















Keep an eye out on their respective blogs for the updates and pictures:

These two continue to rip it up in the alpine in a quite and unassuming manner. Bravo.
