Check out this video of the Cliffhanger Dyno Competition 2010, featuring Skyler Weeks attempting to smash the dyno world record. Cliffhanger Dyno Comp 2010 (http://vimeo.com/24160257)

Strong lass in red top 2-3 seconds in?

Shame he wears gloves and brings his own footholds.
-
Couldnt have picked a worse angle to film the dyno WW from!
-
Too diagonal.

He was rational, IMHO.
I've been there. I've attended (it's me at 0:37 sec). I've seriously ripped skin across my right hand palm (3-4 cm long and deep break).
I think the hold on top was very bad. It was not of massive jug. It had relatively thin edge, like grabbing an edge of a clay pot.

I dont want to go rock climbing ever again.

I bet Weeks is a total throbber

no worries, this comp has nothing to do with climbing. It's like monkeys having fun in zoo, but with a pitful effect.
-
Back when it started it was really something, but yeah, its beyond a joke now.
-

That's quite an assumption. ::) And uncalled for.

Ha Ha Ha, look at me ;)
-
never understood why they opted for a diagonal dyno. Its almost the world traversing championship.
-
Indeed, I'd always thought that if you're looking for a over-caffeinated sugary drink company (TM) Hardcore Bouldering Dyno Power Champion it should be straight up?
-
Straight up, straight up.
-
can this skyler actually climb for toffee?or is it just dynos?
did he not grade a dyno something like v14 then someone did it and said its about v8?
and he said something about using differant foot holds haha wtf!
i dont know what they think of him over the pond but i know what most would think if he was operating over here.

i thought it was charlize theron :lets_do_it_wild:
-
They should make the finishing hold a bendcrete jug. That would separate the men from the boys. And the fingers from the palm.

I love that story. The best bit about it was that Skyler Weak hadn't actually suggested the 8C+ grade, it was created entirely by ridiculous speculation by Jens on 8a.nu (based on how long it had taken Weak to do the dyno).
So when Hobson repeated it, and pronounced it 7B+, on 8a.nu he took the 8C+ grade. He's changed it now unfortunately as I thought it was fucking hilarious.

Was great. Farce stacked on farce.
-
Yaaaaawn!
-
Sounds like you need some caffeine.

No, I need to log out when Idol Eyes in is the room...

Bravo.
Are you going to attempt to break the dyno world record with the shelves? Thats quite ambitous.

And by necessary items I hope you mean pink Anasazis and pain au chocolats.
