Rad Posted January 8, 2015 Share 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!"

genepires Posted January 8, 2015 Share 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.

genepires Posted January 8, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dberdinka Posted January 9, 2015 Share 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!

luvshaker Posted January 10, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlpineK Posted January 10, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvashtarkatena Posted January 10, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevetimetravlr Posted January 12, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
