Mike Largent wedges into climbing history as he attempts 10,560 vertical feet (two miles or three trips up El Captain) of off-width climbing at The Creek in 31 days all to help raise donations for The Hive, a youth center in Durango, CO. “It’s a beast,” “like wrestling two hyenas while trying to carry a washing machine in a brick closet…”- He tracks a daily average as it fluctuates due to heat, cold, snow, rain, brutal pain, scrapes, bruises, spraining both ankles and just trying to consume enough calories to maintain for the duration. Beautiful Monsters is Mike’s brutal dare to himself; a dare that brings the community together.
