PCI athlete Kevin Jorgeson goes for the second rope less ascent of The Fly, v14, in Rumney, New Hampshire. After a scary face first fall from the crux, Kevin got it together and finished it off. This video was shot by Tim Kemple to help promote the Nor'easter event.
PCI athlete Kevin Jorgeson traveled to England in Fall 2008 to try his hand on the legendary routes of The Grit. Gaia, E8, is one of the most famed and feared due to its leg breaking fall potential. To Kevin's dismay, he took this fall, luckily escaping with only bruised heels. Undeterred, he brushed himself off and finished the climb shortly after the fall.
