Ha ha 3 sessions it is. 06 , christ jim, time flies.Mind you this is the guy who was once asked if he'd done Brad Pit and replied no (he had but forgot ;D ;D))

Version i heard was he was looking at Brad Pit, and said, "wow, that looks so cool, can't wait to try it." (He had done it a few weeks previous!)
(Sorry if you are reading this Ry! Shouldn't you be putting tiles up in the kitchen?  ;D

5th Jan 2006

Ah that's the day I remember. In which case Ryan might not have been with us on the 19th Jan 08... in which case 'bascially in a sesh except for a dabble 5 years ago or something' ain't that far off the mark. Bizarre I can't find any photos from either day though.

He probably keeps forgetting he's done Brad Pit, the occasion i'm thinking of was in Frankenjura when a local asked him if he'd done it.

So the moral of the story is that fingerboarding gets you to climb grit well?

So the moral of the story is that fingerboarding being a good climber, training hard and putting the mileage in on rock gets you to climb grit well?

By the way, my concern about his landing is real. I take it by the lack of comments, nothing got hurt?

Watching the vid it looks / sounds like he starts screaming just before he hits the ground, so I'm guessing it's not through pain.

Good skills.
