Dane Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 and a chalk bag... Marc Leclerc on his solo onsight of Outer Space this morning. Done in just under 30 minutes. Which was just about how long it took him to walk down in his slippers Nicely done, Congrads! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckaroo Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Swwwhhheeeeettt. did he do the normal start or the direct? I'd like to do this solo but it would only be a redpoint since I've climbed it roped several times. I've heard the only scary part is the flake at the 5.9 crux on the 3rd pitch. Like you have to pull on it and it looks sort of detached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sobo Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 On-sight solo... now that's the way to roll! Way to go, marc! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJRiha Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Marc is quite an amazing climber. I met him at 8-mile Saturday, and saw him take down "Doing the Dishes" in 2 tries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketparrotlet Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 I was in Leavenworth this weekend, and I asked him about it, thinking the route would take him 3 hours if it takes a normal party all day. Nope. 25 minutes bottom to top. Way to send, Marc! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dane Posted May 3, 2010 Author Share Posted May 3, 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HN3HcYJJM6A May be more stressful to watch in person than to do I have to laugh at myself for holding my breath while Marc worked the moves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_leclerc Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HN3HcYJJM6A May be more stressful to watch in person than to do That was an interesting move, well the one I eventually did The feet are really good, and as soon as you bring your left foot up you get perfect jams and a jug undercling. You jsut have to feel good and ready to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
