The most insane, incredible, unbelievable, impressive thing I've ever watched.

That statement would then eliminate 99% of today's "GYM" generation of climbers as being anything near "Real"... clipping all them other peoples bolts and all.

Clipping a bolt is different than hanging from it!
(These statements brought to you by someone that can't climb shit, even if I did hang on bolts!)
Posted: Thu May 20, 2010 7:28 pmReal climbers just climb because they need to, regardless of if it's solo or not.
Real climbers don't tell others what real climbers do.

Posted: Thu May 20, 2010 7:43 pmThat absolutely incredible clip has been around for a while. Who's the guy he is passing when he says "Don't touch me!?" I know that guy, but can't place him.
At 6:10 is he aiding on a single small cam (obviously with no belay system?) That's out there.
The old school brits would have dismissed that ascent as "unjustifiable" and gone down to the pub for a pint.
