significant repeats

[Paul B]

This feels like the same scenario as when everyone thought the Hard Grit routes would stand up against foreign raiders but then Team America (f*ck yeah) turned up and walked up most of it with Honnold lapping things for photos.

I think it would be a bit naive to assume that Austria doesn't have it's fair share of minging hard routes that involve levitating on tiny holds. It's not as if Zillertal is known to be particularly skin friendly! They also have old skool limestone venues.

This. Watch a handful of videos and it's obvious that current elites (comp and outdoors) have incredible movement and technical skills. They are not only much stronger than past elites they are often much better climbers. The whole "but what's he done on grit" scenario is a bit silly and embarrassing (even if often said tongue in cheek). There's too much mythologising.

Also (some) US climbers throughs on Ondra's chances before he rinsed Dawn Wall, forgetting an upbringing which included Czech sandstone cracks and big walling in Madagascar.

Probably the wrong thread but, as the years go by and the multi year sieges by various people on Dawn Wall continue, Ondras ascent was utterly mind blowing. He just does so much amazing stuff that it was a bit "Oh there goes Ondra again" at the time...

it’s such a shame the footage of that never came to light, but in some ways I think that makes it even more mythical (in the good meaning)

Sean Bailey did Lucid Dreaming 3rd go.

[yetix]

3rd go of the day?

 

[Bradders]

Yeah, 3rd of the day having been trying it say on / day off beforehand.

 

[dunnyg]

Made it look piss. Amazing!

3rd go of the day?

Aye my bad, meant to put 3rd of the day! Apparently 5 sessions

Gabriele Moroni did Erebor 9b a couple of weeks ago for his first of the grade.

Simon Lorenzi has repeated Burden of Dreams

3rd ascent or is Aidan playing it cool?


Also, first person to bag 3 9As? What a hero :strongbench:

 

[remus]

Weapon. Looks pretty hard core cons too. Impressive that he's climbed hard in a variety of styles too (compression on soudain, power endurance on alphane and board power on burden). Only person to have climbed three 9As too.

Fairly sure it's the third ascent. Based on the wedge vid Aidan was making good progress but was struggling a lot with skin.

 

[Liamhutch89]

Seems like he did it quite a bit quicker than both Alphane and Soudain :worms:

 

[teestub]

I eagerly await comment from the only authority on boulder grades

Is that Alphane cusped now? Or did Lorenzi cusp it?

 

[Wellsy]

Seems like he did it quite a bit quicker than both Alphane and Soudain :worms:

He also didn't use the replica at all, right?

 

[yetix]

He used the replica a bunch (he was doing alot of tricks to build capacity for the bloc like doing the moves with bigger feet etc)

Few vids in his YouTube of it, I like that it seems quite shambolic in some ways

Wonder if he’s got a ticket to Colorado booked?
