Kimmo Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 nice work drew! keep it crankin! what's next, TBONTB? syked! Quote
mattp Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 Awesome! Thanks Mr. Rogoz! And thanks Drew, too. That's really good stuff. Quote
akhalteke Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 Beastly. Roody, you raised him well; as a man and as a climber. Nice film Bob. Quote
Pete_H Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 Very cool. Nice job havin a bad ass kid Rudy. Quote
RuMR Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 Thanks Pete...He actually is the "anti-bad ass". He is just a really earnest kid who tries his hardest. Absolutely loves climbing... He is also far from unique, as Bill said. Every year, it seems that each youth bracket gets stronger and stronger as these kids keep redefining "breakthrough"...I can't even imagine what Europe is like now. He has a whole cadre of kids that absolutely CRANK. Sitting in the stands watching them "perform" is breath taking... Quote

Burke M Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Burly! Next best thing to seeing a happy kid is a happy parent. Well done, sir. Quote
RuMR Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 apparently Ashima, at the age of 10, has just sent Crown of Aragorn, at V13!!!! Drew spent some time with her training in Atlanta last august. His quote was basically "Dad, she's unbelievable. She never never goes wild, does crazy moves and has incredible core strength and tension. And, her fingers make mine look weak." He was blown away by her. Quote
Icicle_TV Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 Great video! this is the best thing we've seen in a long while. Rumr, check your PM's. Quote
matt_warfield Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 Congats to Robert for the video, Rudy for the genes and support, and especially Drew for being the climber. Also note the support credit on the vid: checking account, credit cards, paycheck. Quote
RuMR Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 Brooke Raboutou and Tito (forget his last name) have now each sent 5.14 at 10. Its going nuts... Quote

billcoe Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 (edited) LOL! You don't want to compare my grades to most little kids but especially your son unless you need some belly laughter LOL. Congrats to the boy on the 5.14! OK, I'll fess up. I climbed with my boy and his buddy over spring break week, it was awesome. The awesome part was how stoked they got. Hardest thing that wasn't a bolt clip up was Frogland in Red Rocks. Less than 3 hours on route which I consider good time for 3folks, 2 of whom are beginners. We had good changeovers. Stan Miller and Steve Lyford did that for the first time last year (onsight - W/no topo) from the base to the car in 1:40min at the end of a long day in BlackVelvet Canyon - timed. Here they are on their first gear leads ever. Edited April 19, 2012 by billcoe Quote
Rad Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 Fantastic that he broke through to a new grade. Cool that you're proud papa. Lame "so what did u do" comment. Quote
Lodestone Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 Drew just joined the 5.14 club yesterday... What route? Chad Quote
RuMR Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 Fantastic that he broke through to a new grade. Cool that you're proud papa. Lame "so what did u do" comment. . Haha wasn't trying to be snarky! Just meant it as did you achieve a long standing goal or did you go on vacation! Both have merits...hanging at the beach is really what I needed given the pickle I am in at work. That being said drew has worked his ass off and I had to give him this chance. Quote
