This is a bit off-topic (and thus now on-topic!), but thought ya'all might be interested. I was listening to the latest episode of the Enormocast podcast, Episode 113 with Rob Pizem. I think a lot of the people here could identify with Rob and his focus on climbing hard while also having a job and being a good father. Of particular note, he talked at length about his climbing exploits with Mike Anderson (and Mike's secretive ticklist), particularly their attempts to free the old Royal Robbins aid line of Arcturus on Half Dome. Very entertaining story (Rob broke a vertebrae in his back on their first attempt, but didn't realize it for a heinous amount of time). After listening to the podcast, I was interested to know more and found a series of Climbing mag articles that Rob wrote about the route. Anyways, a good listen for the drive to the crag or during ARCing!
