It's great that he's found a national outlet on espn.com -- it can only help increase the sport's profile. The fact that he's a very good writer is just icing on the cake.

I can't believe the ASU coach gets away with making his team climb SQUAW Peak -you can die on that thing !-at some points it's hand over hand -Robles would have gotten to the top quicker w/out his crutches -did you see the upper body on that kid ? 125 lber benching over 300 . If I were his coach he'd work a russian 2on1 and know every variation of a front head lock possible .
