glassgowkiss Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 besides repeating La Rambla extension 9a+ he also did 8c on sight! also 9a and 9a+, another 8c/8c+ in a span of a few days! just hate to think what routes he will send in his 20's!

RuMR Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 no...he's not speculating at all...I'll flat out state it, that kid can climb trad stuff that you will never ever be able to touch, period, end of story... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glassgowkiss Posted February 11, 2008 Author Share Posted February 11, 2008 most likely the type you could never touch. baa what kind of trad routes have you done at the age of 15?   Sounds to me you are speculating………  I am not speculating at all. Just look at the list of people free climbing on El Cap. somehow i don't see ron kauk or john bachar associated with freeing the nose or other routes on that face. Hubers showed how it's done- speed records and free climbing arenas. Alex also cranked 9a+ at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwrts Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Kauk and Bachar are from a different era in free climbing rocks in Yosemite. Has either Huber brother repeated Kauk's Magic Line? not that I really give a f**k but seriously...I do not know the answer and am wondering. Which leads me to think: Why must you always belittle the american climbing world when some Euro sporto (or nonAmerican) climbs a new sick problem or onsights some sport line, etc.? I think talent is everywhere some published and some not...some reported and some not. I sure do see Tommy Caldwell on the free climbing El Cap list a bunch. Where is he from? Anyrate, yell, spit and curse Americans and climbers from America all you want but remember where you live and most importantly what the flag looks like...

RuMR Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 i think bob's point was that training for sick sport climbing has good crossover potential, not us vs. them...ie, Kauk got massively strong from sport climbing and his trips to europe. Also, one could argue that TC is a product of hard sportclimbing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glassgowkiss Posted February 11, 2008 Author Share Posted February 11, 2008 (edited) bwrts-That's right einstein- you see Caldwell as well as Roden as well as Hill- which just proves my point. I just posted this for inspiration to me, and to others as well. cranking 9a+ is something i (most likely) will never be able to do, and 9a+ plus 8c on sight is fucking amazing! and instead of hearing "bravo"- i will try harder i hear some weak fuck asking about how hard can he climb on trad! who gives a fuck!just because you are just some weak clownpunch fuck, who's forearms grew by typing on keyboard and from wanking into your grandma's undies doesn't give you the right to even attempt to diss Ondra. to me this kid is a hero! it's much, much easier to smoke dope and complain how fucking tough your life is. and for all i care ondra could be from mongolia, kentucky or ny- i don't fucking care. it happens he is from Czech republic, but like i said- you made an issue out of it. and trust me- there is plenty of americans i admire- like our local hero Swenson or Colin. so fuck you and fuck your self righteous arrogance. you can twist my words any fucking way you want- it doesn't make me look stupid Edited February 11, 2008 by glassgowkiss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cairns Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 In the early 90s I climbed with a guy who had a crazy idea that it would be easier for a sport climber become an alpinist than vice versa. He did sport 13s then Yosemite walls then American Direct (Dru) and Cerro Torre. It isn't about nationality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect that they will be doing harder and tougher stuff than even some of these hard young pups are getting on in just a few short years.  Hey Bob!

el jefe Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 ondra is clearly a super talent and someone who will be pushing new standards before long. i don't think the fact that he hasn't/doesn't trad climb will hold him back much. placing pro isn't that big a deal and doesn't take that long to figure out. alex huber lead every pitch free on the salathe weeks after placing his first cam.
