Jain Kim has turned her tiny hand to climbing on actual rock and in a completely unsurprising turn of events has knock off an 8c and an 8c/+ in an unspecified number of hours or minutes.

Seriously though I'm psyched to see what she can achieve if she really pushes herself on rock.

James McHaffie and Dan McManus have both freed El Nino

Was that just poor quality video or a very tight rope on that 1st dyno?

Via Facebook: Paige Claassen repeated Just Do It 8c+ at Smith Rock today.

Nibile · June 01, 2014, 07:45:03 am

Did she do it, or did she just do it?

slackline · June 01, 2014, 10:23:10 am

Just Do It. First climbed by J.B. Tribout in 1992. It's not my project anymore. And I'm really happy. @marmot @lasportivana @smithoptics @camp_usa @maximropes. Big thanks/hugs/Viking calls to @ianyurdin for the many monkey treks and the ledge fight.

Seems that Tom Bolger has done another 9a - Seleccio Natural - according to the other channel.

Good to see him going well again.

Excellent. Go on Tom.

Quote from: Steve McClure

So how hard is Strawberries. Should it matter? No, not for a route with such history, but then why does everyone want to know? We are a nation of numbers. But also the history of Strawberries is the fluctuating grade, initially E6 7a its been down to E6 6b and up to E7 6c. E7 6b seems to be the consensus. This is where I'm gonna pin my tail on the donkey. It felt about 7c, and pumpy to place gear. That might make it E6, but the gear at the bottom is not great (mine fell out with a flick on the rope), and though the gear at the top is good, you go a long way above it. But thats just my opinion, and being a route setter you'll know that I never get my grades right...

Clearly not hard enough for him to tie his shoelaces.

masonwoods101 · June 17, 2014, 10:28:25 am

Didn't he onsight an e8 in the lakes with his laces untied?

Paul B · June 17, 2014, 12:02:34 pm

The most important thing to take from this is the fact he's wearing a pair of white shoes and not pink!

masonwoods101 · June 17, 2014, 07:13:29 pm
