8c - 67%

Holy smokes batman! That's incredible.

9a flash and 9a 1st ascent in a day today.
Hardy seems to raise an eyebrow now.

The 9a flash had a nice little 8B boulder at the start too!

Glad to hear he hasn't forgotten how to climb on rock after all his plastic pulling. I know Ondra's on-sighted a couple of 9a now (2 or 3 depending on where you look) but how many has he, or anyone else for that matter, flashed? A quick look at 8a.nu says that he's previously flashed a 9a+. I'm guessing Megos has done one?

I consider myself being a little bastard in a certain way, because I just climb and get paid for it but I don’t give anything to society, I don’t produce anything or offer a service.

On why he went back to school:

Quote

in my opinion, it is impossible to train more than 4 hours a day, because your skin doesn’t allow you to do more.... thinking 24/7 about climbing is harmful and doesn’t make you climb harder

Boom. Gypsy Blood, 8c+ in Santa Linya. On sight, of course

Also, Sachi Amma did Catxasa (9a+) in 4 attempts

According to Sachi Amma's facebook it was a flash. Sorry, nothing to write home about...

(Would of course be

if it was someone else...)

Seems like his form is slipping. Only 8c+ second try and techy 8A+ flash to report.

When did dreamcatcher get upgraded?

Any interest in the singularity?

Son #2 and I arrived in time to witness his second try. Embarrassingly my son muttered "I don't think he can climb it" quite audibly as Adam got into the initial slab crux ... at which point he slipped off.

Was JuniorHabrich firing foam darts at Ondra by any chance?

So your son is a prophet, a powerful jinx-casting shaman, or an astute analytical observer of sporting activities. I don't see how any of these is embarrassing.
