I'm a route climber, and one who likes lots of easy moves in a row, and I still say +2 to what jwi said. I suspect HaeMeS was being tongue in cheek.

Once you can do the moves and invest the time... you can climb the route innit?

Absolutely not. That's totally bull. There are plenty of routes on which can do all the moves and big links quite easily but will never be fit enough for.
+1. I've never been good on routes; I thought all the moves on Austrian Oak as an example were pretty easy, but never got close to linking it as only ever trained to boulder and train on a board, ran out of steam way before the top

Although I don't find the moves easy I first did links of overlapping halves a few years ago and maybe had 50 days on it since then and still not got the tick so cant be accused of not investing the time.

If you are pushing yourself a successful redpoint is never a certainty even if you can do big links let alone the individual moves. In fact Steve Mac said something to the effect of that you aren't playing the redpoint game properly if you only go on routes where the final redpoint is a certainty.

Brilliant. is that 98th at 9 or harder. Wonder if he's saving Hubble for his historic 100th?

Wow.   :jaw:

Just phenomenal.  SOme of the other hard onsights of his, he almost looks like he's redpointing it he's so smooth. Definitely looks like more of a fight on this one.  It really seems like a new level has been reached by him and Megos.

Does onsight mean someone else put the draws in?

Twitter rumours or disinformation hint at the great long necked one being back on Hubble... So I may be either breaking news or breaking bullshit :)

Je suis d'accord. Also, I watched Ondra stroll up all the steep problems in the Insbruck world cup just before watching that video. Gives context to just how difficult the hard moves on it must be
