BIG ASS PS: Ammon's been at this game for a longass time. Any of you's out there that will rag on me for even admiring and associating with this type of behavior can immediately STFU! Don't even try it.

I wish I had just a snippet of the time that Ammon does to do what he does. Sadly, the time since I've last climbed that Captain now exceeds my "El Cap life." I miss the Captain. :(

I can't endorse aid climbing.

Guy looks hilarious! Having fun climbing...what a concept. I remember reading he got married and now lives in Orange county.....happens to the best of them. (I'm sure he still does more in a year than I'll do in my life.)

Thanks for posting that Chief.

I will never do the Porch Swing. Totally trouser filling. I'll leave to guys with bigger balls and stronger sphincters.

BTW, I couldn't tell from the editing, but on the Golden Nipple, was he doing that tension traverse from a hook?

Yup, the hook pendi... don't tell me that you've never done any pendi's off a hook?

Nope, no hook penjis in my background. The hook looked bomber but no thanks. I've done a tension traverses to hooks (Illusion Chain on the PO Wall), which was interesting, but nothing like the Golden Nipple. If, twelve years ago, when I met my buddy in the Valley to do Iron Hawk/Iron Son, and he had he not shown up with cracked ribs, I might have found out first hand.

Wow, not to spoil anything but his first fall I cringed and litterally shouted "holy sh**!"
Definetly an enjoyable clip, thanks mate!
