Jim, you were 12 or 13 at the first Arch and already teaching me stuff, warming up on my projects and so on. You're not the reason I, for one, do believe a lot in the fact that people come with different skill levels from the start. Sure I was already old and you must have started young, but there's lots of evidence around me that not all those who started at my age are now at the same level, even though they invested the same amount of work etc. And the reverse is also true, not all those who started at your age ended up where you are, despite sometimes equal dedication. Recognising that some are 'luckier' than others in some areas is not meant to imply they work less. Look at Janja: I don't think there is something she does more than others, yet she's destroying the field. Desgranges worked his socks off all his life, and 'only' got one overall title.
Sick vid! I bet when comp setters see Jim Pope on the roster, they probably steer away from making pinchy routes because it would be unfair for the other climbers😉
Man, I'm getting so jelous seeing all those crazy boards! Where I leave is really hard to find a spray walls...Sadly, commercial gyms are failing the more dedicated climbers.
Climbing is so wonderful, but the commitment with it can be such a BEAR! Such odd strengths required (fingers) that you can’t get anywheres else. And to top it, it disappears stupidly fast. Climbing always feels like an endless journey.

Great advice in that last minute. I hope people who watch this take that as training advice rather than trying to follow this schedule 😂
Haha yeah... This is definitely not a follow along video 😅

The face of Mad Magazine is brutally strong 😅
The gaskins poster 😂

I think it’s probably that the ants like the arete because they are snacking on the accumulated hand oils and skin. Haha. Yummmmm
those limited editions VSRs are so hot
What model are the asics trainers?
"These {runs} are never very long or hard... going pretty slow"
Cut to found footage of someone running for their life 12:36
😅
bruh 6 days on 1 day off
💪💪
is his name jim or james
Full name is James 👍
Most climbers think running is no use ,but if you do fartlek ( look it up ) It can raise your dynamic strength. I kid you not.
Where is Aidan, all I care about is him pulling on small edges
He's busy doing just that in Finland 💪
