Rad Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Social media wants to know. Great success and frustrating failure and a partnership tested by adversity. It'll make for good film for Reelrock 2015 no matter what... Maybe Beth Rodden will return to form and belay Tommy on the last pitches "Go Tommy! You got this! Come on Tommy!" Quote
genepires Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 can't Tommy just lead the rest and claim the first free ascent like Lynn Hill did for the nose? They could prolly come back later and send it again claiming the first team free ascent. Doubt that there are any people out for that same goal any time soon. but then I am no ethics master. Quote
ivan Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 they must have themselves some good publicists, seems quite odd that such an arcane thing is getting universal coverage. Quote
genepires Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 or at least someone at NYT that knows climbing who started the whole media frenzy. even NPR had a phone interview with both of them. Quote

pink Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 they must have themselves some good publicists, seems quite odd that such an arcane thing is getting universal coverage. i heard they are planning an FFA on "stone soup" next.. Quote
dberdinka Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 What'll happen when Tommy sends and Kevin doesn't... Nothing will happen. Other than Adidas maybe not wanting to be represented by the guy who couldn't quite climb the hardest route in the world. Being a fully sponsored climber must bring a substantial amount of stress to the activity. Regardless I hope he's able to appreciate how awesome his life is right now! Quote
ivan Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Clench the nubs until great success. yer supposed to add "in bed" to the end of all fortune cookie messages Quote

pink Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Staple yer middle fingers back on and finish your pitch, Bitch. and then staple ur mouth shut you little bitch Quote
luvshaker Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 (edited) Tommy looks odd in the vertical adida$ $trips running down his pants. Pays for diapers I guess. Edited January 11, 2015 by luvshaker Quote
AlpineK Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Just like any big climbs First comes the siege tactics Next comes oxygenless and or one push Finally the climb becomes a timed event Kind of Darwinian in nature Quote
tvashtarkatena Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 The last 5.14 pitch went down - 11 tries over 7 days. 7 pitches of 5.14, 12 of 5.13, the rest is 5.12 or below. Quote
ivan Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 anybody really gives a rat's ass!?!?!? i do way better than IVANS drunken drivel sound like yer having troubles at home? wife beating you again? tell her no means no, eh? Quote
olyclimber Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 anybody really gives a rat's ass!?!?!? i do way better than IVANS drunken drivel there are way worse things to do. personally I don't follow it, but good for them if they can get someone to pay them to do it and make a living at it. Quote
telemarker Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 It will be infinitely more interesting once it's been highly edited and theme music added for the next Reel Rock. Quote
stevetimetravlr Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Just amazing that Tommy could conceive this project, and then make it happen with Kevin along for the ride. Stoked for them. Quote

Ivan, i think ur a cool dude and i admire ur drunken tenacity.....buttt!! for you to say you don't understand the media hype here, is either you being a total dip shit, or you being thirtsy for attention... i mean geezo, could you imagine how many trip reports Tommy would have if he sought the validation that you did? at least Tvrashie has branched out to supertopo in between banning Edited January 13, 2015 by pink Quote
