awsome climb, technical it is trad, but it hasn't been freeed yet its still a project. trad = tradditional= no fixed gear on route( or very little), plus he top roped the first 20 or so feet.

he is definatly a good climber, but that route hasn't been "freed" by him

Freakin' rad. Who cares about hangdogging, pre-placed, and all that shit. Anybody on here who sprays shit about it on here probably can't climb it.

 

Anybody familar with the music that is being played, I wouldn't mind getting my hands on that CD? Good song, just wished it kept playing throughout the video.

It is interesting to note here that there is no difference in redpoint and pinkpoint these days when it comes to hard trad. If a climb is done placing all gear on lead, it is an addendum, rather than the standard. A serious crack in the foundation of pure climbing, IMHO.

 

Amazing climbing though! thumbs_up.gif

Not to be a dick, but don't you guys think it's a little odd to be ragging on this guy's style of ascent? The way you say "well, it's not REALLY trad" makes you sound as if you're suggesting that if YOU were to do it, you would place all the gear. Newsflash: you're not gonna do it in any style, preplaced gear or otherwise! Ever!! So why try to bring down the accomplishment of someone who did?

No ya putz. the video started out TRAD and it really wasn't trad. I don't care two shits, but it aint trad. It is sport climbing. What is the difference? Dis moi. Merde. rolleyes.gif

yeah but if the gear is already there.... just like the bolts are in sport climbing then what is the difference. If you talk to trad climbers they are always like " yeah well you get really pumped putting in the gear and shit" The gear is there already in this guys climb, all he has to do is clip it. THeres no difference.
