Behind the Desk with Ironworks's Todd Bartlow
Berkeley Ironworks staff member, Todd "The Bod" Bartlow just returned from a six month road trip around the US and into British Columbia. He climbed splitter cracks in Indian Creek, fought his way up the offwidths in Vedauwoo, and did some rad bouldering in Squamish.
Immediately upon his return to the Bay, he headed to Tuolumne Meadows, where he and his partner Wylie made an ascent of The Oz (5.10d) to the Gram Traverse (5.10d). This classic linkup climbs the main striking corner on Drug Dome, a stellar 5.10c finger crack pitch, and then skirts for a few pitches below the roof of the dome.

Check out more of Todd's adventures at his blog where he chronicles his climbs including some rad ascents with other Touchstone climber Casey McTaggart.
