The real horror show starts at 4:48 (though there may be more - Editor's note: a LOT more).

Jesus Christ. After a truly spectacular thread, this might even count as The Winner. The whole ""sequence"" from 2:15 to 3:00 is quite unbelievable - there's no change in mat usage from when he pulls off the ground, and it's easier to count the few times when he isn't dabbing, than when he is. Even his tiny girlfriend manages to dab the shit out of later on. Exceptional stuff.

when he pulls off the ground.

If only he ever had managed to actually pull off the ground.

I was googling how to climb 7A+ without leaving the comfort of your seat...

Oooooo you’re all so snarky and sneering, it makes me truly scared to post / share anything on ukb for fear of recriminations from the superior beings that reside here

The hold he goes to is a jug as well, no excuse for not lifting feet. I have a very lanky mate who managed to do that without dabbing...

Do Reddit links work here?

https://www.reddit.com/r/climbharder/comments/deepav/thanks_to_all_your_advice_about_a_month_ago_i/

Oof, there is a lot of coping going on in those responses... Even a slight scrape detectable only by snickometer would invalidate an ascent, let alone a dab hard enough to displace a pad.

Makes me wonder what his mates were doing when they saw that? Imagine having friends who only shout encouragement at you when you climb... sounds shit.

"mates" wouldn't let such conduct go unheckled. If that'd been me then footwork, dunnyg, or 36chambers would have leapt and clung onto me, dragging me down onto the pads. That's how I know they care.

REAL mates wouldn’t drag you off - or tell you when you dabbed...

Instead they’d wait until you finish then stand there stoney faced shaking their heads... :)

Goes for first ascents too. Can't have your mate getting it first.

Or wait until you'd started packing up, and then ask why you quit trying the problem before sending....

What do you guys think of this:

Not a dab per say but definitely not the legit ascent claimed... The fun starts at 10:30

I don't know what it is about this dabs thread but it always absolutely kills me. At work in tears, difficult to explain to a civilian what i'm laughing at.
