Meanwhile, Walkoff Made It Down Without Incident
This is very sad especially since she sounds like such a lovely person, but I can’t lie to you people. Even in my older, mellower state, someone named Rohloff…well…rolling off is still going to get a laugh and a post out of me. By the time Grace Rohloff reached the top of Half Dome, smiling …
