[@thomasneal9868]

Awesome

[@living4adrenaline]

Why though?

[@paulmitchell5349]

It's all about the genes.

[@jrblackify]

Eric Horst was "pretty much an elite climber"... uh, no.

[@bubbyb0i6967]

Let's see your 5.13 sends bro

[@arvinclok]

Lol salty ass, at his times and his age 5.13 is elite

[@jrblackify]

@@bubbyb0i6967 I'm almost 60 and I remember who the "elite" climbers were in the 80's and 90's. They were not Eric Horst. They were much better (and none of them would go around saying "I was pretty much an elite climber").

@@jrblackify , he said he was pretty much an elite climber...not that he was...
