Raindawg Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 I heard Graham got the fouth accent on Wed? Can anyone verifiy? Â ...spent several weeks at the cliff this summer hoping to finish it off. Â It's called "siege climbing", accept instead of fixed camps up the side of a mountain, you have fixed bolts on the side of the cliff on which you rehearse the moves into submission over a period of weeks. Â I guess this is Dave's first confirmed 5.15. Â You must be part of the in-crowd to be catchin' all the happenin' goodness of Dave, Chris, Tommy, Beth, + da hole gang! Â Meanwhile, at the backdoor of the gym, the groupies await the departure of their favorite rock-stars! Â "5.15.....that's SO dreamy!!!!!!"

JayB Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Yeah. Anything that takes years of disciplined effort and determination to build the various capacities required to accomplish it is pretty bogus. I'd be much more impressed with all of those Olympic atheletes, concert pianists, etc if they hadn't seiged and rehearsed their way to the top.

mattp Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 So, Don Ryan (Raindawg), you have a problem with somebody working hard and attain an objective? Or do you think he is so "good" it came easily? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olyclimber Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 but what about those olympic sprinters? don't they just run around in circles? in a stadium built where a lovely field once was? ah, the blight called mankind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rad Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I've watched the Sharma video several times. I find it inspiring on several levels. Couldn't get the Graham video link to work.

pope Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 but what about those olympic sprinters? don't they just run around in circles? in a stadium built where a lovely field once was? ah, the blight called mankind. Â OK, in case you're ignorant of this fact, climbing has traditions. These traditions dictate that climbing involves not only athletic ability and skill, but also boldness, adventure and respect for the medium. Turn your back on this and you'll lose what makes climbing special, what makes climbing different than Olympic-level competition in track or volleyball or synchronized swimming. Now, if you don't value boldness and tradition, but you still think scaling walls is "neato", then I suggest you stick to gym climbing and top-roping. Thereby can you remove ALL adventure and boldness from "climbing" and concentrate on perfecting your stupid little "project". I don't have a problem with this approach per se....it's when your bastardized form of climbing requires molesting our cliffs with a grid of bolts to accomodate your poor style that I have a problem.
