The Kuhn Brother's just did a "reunion" climb in Yosemite a week ago. The last time they did it was about 17 years ago. From what I heard, it was intense and a total rush.

Ok. So this is apparently where some big drama went down. Right after this picture, Moe started to run to get some momentum while Freddy was belaying him and wasn't quite ready for the stunt. Moe fell at a 2,000 drop and Freddy grabbed the rope and pulled him to safety with the help of his brothers. Not sure on the details, but it's like chewing tin foil getting Freddy to post anything in his own words...
Spencer taking a breather.
Making a hike back, except, they hiked the wrong way.
Beautiful view from the top of the climb. Time started taking a toll...
It got dark quick and they had to make some decisions ...
I got a call from Freddy that night telling me they were camping on the arches since the daylight was gone and apparently the climb down at night is not a smart idea. So they put their boyscout hats on and made a fire.
Apparently there wasn't much sleep.
Up and ready to finish the hike.
They made it home safe thank goodness. A heavy duty trip, but their climbing again in Utah next month.
