On Thursday night, the day before Austin Wolff left Colorado for his home state of Texas, he invited a friend to join him and his 2-year-old cat Link on an adventure up one of Boulder’s most popula…
A couple of months ago, Austin Wolff saw someone free soloing the Second Flatiron with their cat and thought, “That would be kind of cool.”
Debating between sticking it out for the night or calling for help, Wolff said he swallowed his pride and called in the Rocky Mountain Rescue Group, which arrived just after midnight to two cold climbers and a sleeping cat. “We were happy to assist the climbers and their cat off the cliff and to the ground safely,” Rocky Mountain Rescue Group spokesperson Angela Tomczik wrote. “We commend them for calling for help when they did. We want everyone to know that we are available 24/7 and never charge for rescue. Rocky Mountain Rescue Group is an all-volunteer team and are always happy to help our community.”
Wolff said he always had his mind set on adopting an adventure cat, despite growing up with dogs and never previously owning a cat. In preparation, Wolff read “Adventure Cats: Living Nine Lives To The Fullest,” and researched what personality types of cats are best for adventuring with. When a friend of a friend found Link outside a Texas construction site, Wolff said he immediately knew Link was the one.
“It’s been really fun taking her out,” Wolff said. “It’s our, my, quest to go to every national park together.”

College Admissions ScandalThe March 10 episode kicks off with Ted Danson asking Larry David to help the co-star of his play, who is Loughlin, get into David’s country club. Even though she served prison time for paying $500,000 to get her daughters into USC on false pretenses, Loughlin’s membership is approved after David gives a rousing speech to the club board. As Loughlin becomes a regular at the club, she starts to show her true colors. First, she flaunts a special flag that allows her access to the fairway on a carts-only day. She claims that she earned her disabled status by claiming she has Epstein-Barr. The next time David plays golf with Loughlin, he learns that she was able to secure a better tee time by tipping the starter $50. She later lies about her score on a particularly difficult hole, even though her ball ended up in the woods. “You had a good lie, all right,” he mumbles as she walks away. In 2020, Loughlin and her husband, fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, agreed to plead guilty to conspiracy charges in connection with admissions scandal at USC.
