Witness the fitness witnessed

By Fred Nicole -
Quote from: ColoradoClimbs
Reports out of Arkansas say that Fred Nicole has repeated Chris Sharma's test-piece, "Witness the Fitness." He completed the problem during his second trip to the area and it is reported that he broke two holds while working it

Would love to see some footage of that. Amazing stuff.

I guess Nicole didnt comment on the grade, harder after breaking some holds?

i thought the whole crag was out of bounds, and that Sharma and his mates "only realised this on their last day there" ??  :shrug: :-\

Its on dosage 3 I know, but to see Nicole do it would be interesting.
Shame he doesnt have a camera crew following him around like sharma does. I thought that witness was on private grounds too. I am eager to know more about Nicoles ascent.

Tyler is out there at the moment, said he saw Fred. He confirmed that access is all a pain in the arse as per people on 8a.nu. Says Witness is amazing though, and crazy hard!

Just to clarify what Tyler sais as that last post didnt read how i wanted, and could cause problems with people who maybe thinking of going.

Witness isnt on restricted land at all and is fine to climb on. As is the majority of stuff.

However

Full Package and No Pun Intended are on Chris Schmicks land and access is a problem there.

Hope this clears it up.

Yeah - look at him, the fat fuck!  No wonder he's breaking holds!
