James Simmons is on a mission to climb every 5.12 in American Fork Canyon, but It aint easy to climb through the winter in northern Utah. Remember - the 2002 the Winter Olympics were held in Salt lake City.
The trick to avoiding the snow is climbing the northern side of American Fork, and you know, dealing with intense cold. After learning these 'secrets' James decides to spend his winter ticking off more 5.12s, inching closer to his goal. The route, 'Book Of Condolences' 5.12b (and pretty heavily sandbagged) is different from any other in the canyon and has shut down some of the best climbers in the world, including the legendary Chris Sharma.
With temps hovering around freezing, no foot holds and nothing but a vicious little crack to pull on, James has his work cut out for him.
