Did a search on Dean and couldn't find anything...(not even google)

A buddy gave me an article Dean Potter wrote in "Alpinist". I do not know how recent the article is, but knowing the little I do about the politics at the cave, as well as the event in boulder featuring footage, it must have been a while.

If you aren't familiar with the story, let me know and I will retype it.

Is his story 100% believable? That is friggin nuts! Has he started climbing again? If he didn't lie (which, why would he), he has major balls. Very glad he is OK and things turned out the way they did!

True, True..... all of it. Tomorrow Dean and Steph Davis are co-hosting the First Annual Anti-Gravity Film Festival at The Boulder Theater in Boulder Colorado. Dean's doing a presentation on his experience at the cave.
Dean is also doing multiple presentations on 1. Free Climbing Half-Dome & El Cap in 24 hours, 2. Solo 12 hour accent of Cerro Torres in Patagonia. 3. Jumpin off of the El Mocho in Patagonia this March, 4.Climbing the Tombstone in Moab(unrepeated), 5. As well as untethered slacklining the Lost Arrow Spire in Yosemite. His presentations will be broken up by with presentations by his wife Steph Davis on Climbing the Nose on El Cap in under 24 hours, as well as climbing Torre Egger this summer(first female ever).
Two Base short films by Robert Pecnik and myself will be shown as well.My short film is mostly from this last two trips we had in March. (104 jumps). hope to see all local gravity fiends there.

p.s. sorry I haven't got back to you yet.... I've been running around like a madman for the last week . This film festival is epic to organize.

I wish I could join you guys at this event! Have fun...

If you've never heard of Dean or Steph, They are real, very real. Their exploits are the stuff of novels and I don't know how Dean can carry what must be a ton of brass balls. How would you say the same for Steph ?

I watched "Masters Of Stone V" over the weekend and Dean and Steph......well, they make BASE look pretty tame.
