Net soloing, the video

www.downstreammedia.net/TheRangeLife/Video/mattnet.mov takes you to a video of the much talked about Squamish climber Matt Maddaloni's attempt to solo .13a with a fishing net strung up between some trees to catch him. Impressive amount of effort for such a goofy thing really. Looks mighty close to bouncing over the edge in my opinion. It is Friday, and drizzly in Slovenia, what else is there to do but troll around on the internet and see what people are up to. I got this by looking at Dougald Macdonald's blog, themountainworld.blogspot.com. I will post a list of blogs I check out soon enough.
