Jens Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Amazing Redpoint! ------- I've always wondered if starting really young gives you a good base of finger tendon and ligament development? I started rock at age 9 and ice climbing shortly thereafter, and have managed to forgo a lot of the finger injuries that my sport climbing partners have that started climbing in their 20's and 30's, despite the fact that I flail on routes these days. I think the name eludes me but I listened to this Brit named Adam W. explain this notion once in the early 90's if my memory serves me. He dirtbagged a bit at Smith.

keenwesh Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I talked to drew a while back at little si, such a nice kid, I still chuckle when I think of how he asked me "what are you working on? chronic?" I laughed and muttered something about bust the move. nothing pretentious about the way he asked, dead honest, as if he honestly couldn't fathom anyone working a climb below 13b. (I'm sure he can't) keep on crushing drew, you're an inspiration to us all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
