It is time. In October you can stream TRFF'26 - from the comfort of our couch, with friends, and popcorn. Ten films, hours of inspiration.
Change.org petition started by Alex Rienzie to get the criminal charges against Michelino Sunseri dropped:
We urge the NPS to recommend that the U.S. Attorney settles this prosecution with a reasonable civil compromise, potentially including mandatory volunteer hours. There’s no need for continued escalation when a sensible, kind resolution is available.
Supporting this petition does not require you to believe Michelino’s FKT should be accepted or that the old climber’s trail should be used, merely that banishment is a step too far.
Rules broken or not, the heavy-handedness of the charges brought by the NPS seem completely over the top. Even if the NPS wanted to send a message to the big brand (The North Face) congratulating Sunseri on Instagram, the message they are actually sending is not the one they think they are. Especially with the Explore Act that just passed.
