“During these big days out, our intention is about finding a groove and maintaining awareness throughout the whole push,” says Arc’teryx climber Sam Stroh. “Being equally tuned in to the intense moments and the still — whether I was belaying Frantisek, hauling the bag, or executing a pitch.” Sam (@stroh.light) and his partner Frantisek Agostino (@frantisek_dagostino) put it all together and sent El Niño in 18 hours and 21 minutes.  “Feeling grateful for all the special moments I shared with Frantisek — from snacking on a ledge a couple thousand feet up to watching him fire a hard, wet pitch in the middle of the night. The energy exchange with a good partner is such a special thing.”  With a little rest, the two found their rhythm again, putting down Golden Gate on El Cap in 26 hours and Father Time on Middle Cathedral in just under 15 hours.  Congrats Sam.  📸: @dantbaum
