Mutation: it is the key to our evolution. It has enabled us to evolve from a single-celled organism into the dominant species on the planet. This process is slow, and normally taking thousands and thousands of years. But every few hundred millennia, evolution leaps forward.
i wish i weighed 3 stone.
that's a fine looking problem. i wish i weighed 3 stone.
What is the SDS of that problem rated? The stand up is super.
That's an 8b, or Ondra 7b (cos thats how hard he makes it look). The guy looking on in disbelief on the left at the start is Toni Lamiche. I think the shoulder blade thing is normal when you haven't yet developed any muscles....
Someone needs to chop his balls off so he never develops.
Maybe we could have a UKB poo whip-round for Mick?
Great news, cheers for posting it. A lot of others must have been curious about him too. Glad to hear he's the real deal. Question: How hard was James climbing when he was his age?
Must strongly disagree with you there nibs, weight is everything at that level of climbing
As long as Ondra keeps those he'll adapt to his changing physique.
Both are know big hunks of man-beef.
I think it's a bit presumtuous to write him off as technically inept based on looking a bit slappy on one video of an 8b.
I read that Sharma is 75kg, now that ain't light at all. 15kg on Dave G and Steve M. So weight isn't the secret formula...
anyone less than 85kgs should have to wear a weightbelt when climbing, otherwise no tick.

Like maybe a 5lb dab per sitstart.

The Seb and Joe test: if you don't drink it doesn't count (and this isn't the odd shandy territory).
