Omar can now one arm the beastmaker monos.

:jaw:

As yet, he has no plans to try and flash Action Direkte.

Too busy climbing indoors all the time?

yeah to be fair those beastmaker monos are massively juggy - im sure a lot of people can do it. im incredibly psyched for one arming the one joint monos though - that would be hardcore.

interestingly though, i was climbing in gollum's cave the other day and was getting spanked (both on an off the rock) by some guy who i think is pretty good at climbing (ie done 8A) but not massively "strong" - he said he can't hold the slopey 45 pockets on the beastmaker. that made me re-think things a little bit.

Nah, it just means Omar's now aiming to be climbing 8B+ 'cause he can hang the 45o monos.  :P

hahahaha. i wouldn't say its fully sunk in yet - its just something to think about. and in fairness, the guy at gollum's was using foot cams for just about everything which is definitely cheating.

Have you considered voluntarily amputating your legs?  It would then negate the need for any technique and make you lighter, thus improving your one-armer performance.  :P

BTW - watch some women climb, they invariably climb with far better technique due to not being so muscley, yet can still get up stiff routes/problems.  Does that make them cheating daughters of a bitch? :-\

I think some people have a different definition of juggy....... It's still a mono!

Maybe I'm more impressed because I can't do it.

Anyway Omar's climbed 8A if that's what you think 1 5 8 counts as.....

I think this thread is amazing and I jsut want it to go on and on :whistle:

ian the campus board i did 1 5 8 on is definitely incredibly soft. the closest ive got on a real campus board is 1 5 7.

I think we're all losing sight of the real issue here - ie. the fact that Omar's sis is the FINEST piece of underage ass around.  :shag:

Really? I think we need to photographic evidence. Just so we can have a proper assessment.  :wank:

You might be able to one-arm that Mr. B. but I can't!

I now feel sad, worthless and weak.

He should take his training more seriously. You should send him some pointers.

He's a beast compared to this guy:

Height: 182cm weight: 59kg ape index: 2cm

pull ups: 30 one hand pull up: 0

Quite weak in pull ups, uh? Climbing is interesting sport.

(http://www.baurock.ru/interview2/ondra_eng.htm)

http://www.udini.de/

With those arms and shoulders it's amazing he can't! Or perhaps he's bulked up a little of late with the short term bouldering focus and might indeed manage one now.

It's about levers though innit?  It looks like has hands are probably past his knees when he's standing up straight...
