I lent him an RP4 for the crux of Profit of Doom

I remember seeing Ethan at Ceuse with the American youth team (bunch of brats) in 2001.  Same year Sharma did Biographie.

I happened to have a day and evening with him up at Mt. Evans in 2013? and he seemed like an upstanding guy.  not sure about the rest of the team, and obviously 12 years is a long time to mature.

Dodgy scouse lid Rich Hession has done Louis Armstrong! Not sure if this is significant enough for this thread but it's pretty significant given the amount that boy should weigh compared to what he does weigh.

Ethan Pringle repeats Jumbo Love!

I predict many more 9bs from Pringle.

Once you pop, you just can't stop.

Peephole Pringle?

Top effort Rich

I recognized that all my perceived physical limitations were just that— perceived, and not real. I recognized that I was not just capable of climbing the route then and there, but worthy of this huge goal that I never really believed I could achieve. As soon as I hit the end of the rope I started crying, not just tears of relief and joy, but also of sadness and regret at all the time and energy I’d spent doubting myself and considering myself unworthy. It was super emotional, but in a really good and healing way.

[Doylo]

Peephole Pringle?

No, much more mainstream!

[lmarenzi]

I really liked the interview.

Granted it's all about his emotions and a bit jumbled, but it sounds like something happened up there to that young man which was a bit more profound than rock climbing.

[lukeyboy]

I agree, I found the interview interesting (after running it through the transatlantic filter), particularly following from his enormocast interview where he seemed burnt out and depressed. I'm really impressed that he managed to turn it around, improve his mental game and achieve something like this.

[cofe]

Good interview

[Falling Down]

Yep - good interview.

[Fiend]

Didn't spot any psychobabble?? Dedicated climber tries something really hard, finds the process hard emotionally as well, then feels emotional when he works out he can do it SHOCKER??

Nice interview, much respect to him, still an amazing line.

[Falling Down]

Yes , some babble but still a good account of someone overcoming bad injury, climbing something at his limit and finding the time to talk about other people than himself.  I wasn't expecting a Pulitzer candidate.

Peephole Pringle?

No, much more mainstream!

Are you saying Pringles are more mainstream than Partridge?

According to a report in Desnivel, Seb Bouin has repeated Chilam Balam.

[bendavison]

Beast! Has he only done one 9a+? (looked that way from a quick skim of the translated article jwi linked) I heard Romain Desgranges was getting close on this recently too.

[jwi]

According to his blog, Desgranges tried it for three days and fell twice on five move boulder just below the anchor on his best attempts.

That's what the Desnivel article says. I foresee a Debate/Jens click-bait debacle on eight-eye dot spew
