8a.nu[/url]"]Tyler Landman has repeated Jerry's traverse, 8A, at Stanage, UK. Tyler is only 13, but he's already climbed for nine years. This was his first 8a.

We will have to see what happens when his balls drop. :wink:

Not fair. At age 4 I was still eating dirt and watching Magic Roundabout for fun. Only 5 years before he can drink legally though, all downhill from there.

Sterling effort though.

Post by: account_inactive on August 31, 2004, 10:36:29 am: Not to piss on anyones bonfire but one of my kids club climbers did 3/4 of Jerry's 4 or 5 years ago. I think that it has something to do with the fact that he is only 4 feet tall and fully extended on the holds.

Still a fucking good effort.....................bastard :shock:

Post by: Ru on September 01, 2004, 09:53:34 am: It's goin' in at morpho 7c - the crux is much easier if you're short, although the eliminate last rock up must be a bit tricky if you're a wee kid. I presume he knows that it's an eliminate...

Post by: Bonjoy on September 01, 2004, 10:00:11 am: I would agree with 7c. Still a very fine effort for a nipper. I'm sure he will have been given the aproved beta by Zippy who's been showing him round I think.
