I like that his, "get back in shape" sport climb is 15a/9a+....when i'm getting back into climbing shape the word teen is certainly not in the grade...more like Eleventyone...
...so we finished work early, had a beer and just for the fun of it went back to the route...and as it so happend...the film crew was right there....hurray!!
Alex and Chris are my Fav I love Tommy and Ondra as well but those 2 have done things just amazing but I havnt watched as many vids on Tommy as I have them so we will see down the UA-cam Tommy hole
By the way, Chris - THANKS for designing shoes that fit and inspired me get beyond what i had. (fit w/o supreme pain. Some feet get damaged by poor shoe design - aummm beats auwwww)
I'm not a very good climber but I realized early that the way to grip small holds is by crimping. I have the video of you, Chris, approaching your goal when you worked on Realization and I saw how you first held small holds open. But later, when you sent the route, you crimped all holds, which made me confident to think that that's the way to go!
I'm no one to give you instructions but as I have suffered from a couple of climbing related injuries I'd just like to tell you to be careful with crimps. Guys like Chris or Adam had years to adjust their bodies to severe strains they undergo. Pulley rupture is absolutely one shitty way to say goodbye to climbing for months.
There are different ways of crimping. The full closed crimp style that you're talking about is much more secure, but also much harder on your hands and potentially dangerous. Open crimps feel less stable but far safer for your body. Generally, you want to avoid closed crimps as much as you can, and on,y use them if you can't hold on with an open version.
Someone please explain this to me (preferably a climber): I am endlessly confused by a sport like climbing (and gymnastics) that takes profound concentration and yet there are people calling out encouragement during super difficult parts of the climb. Doesn't this distract the climber? Most would say no, they don't even hear it. Well, if that's true, why even yell out? I could have sworn that one time while watching an Olympic female gymnast perform on the beam, that she hesitated (and messed up her routine) when someone yelled out from the audience. I've always wondered about that.
A lot of the time climbing is also about the nerves. It can make you more confident and try harder when people are hyping you up, whereas if it was completely silent you might give up too easily thinking you can't do a move. You can also hear many competition climbers say how they like the audience and how it helps them climb better.
It really comes down to personal preference. I personally prefer silence. The sounds of nature simultaneously calm and excite me. Professional climbers don't really have a choice because usually a crowd is watching, and they can't help but cheer.
They decided "what the heck lets go climbing" and just so happened to have hired a film crew? I mean I know Chris climbed it regardless but it seems like he's stretching the truth a bit.
Chris had been working the route the previous season and come close, and he'd filmed his previous attempts. Obviously if he was feeling good that day he'd want someone filming the potential send, just in case. Plus it was only one guy filming the successful attempt, not exactly a crew.
Hai rotto le palle di mettere queste musiche fantastiche senza mai mettere l'autore!! Translation: you broke a lot my little ball to put wonderful music on your video without putting the name of the artist!!!
All you do is scream and fall. Watch Honnold sometime, he doesn't do all that jumping, screaming, and falling... He's graceful and, and precise. You make rock climbing look difficult, whereas Honnold makes it look easy.
Sid that is true, but the level that chris is climbing is miles ahead of alex. alex is very methodical and precise but the level he’s climbing at is far lower than chris. the route alex soloed “freerider” is only rated 12d where as this is rated almost 15a
Bro you just revealed that you know nothing about climbing. Alex honnold has literally said it himself that his skill is nothing compared to the top climbers like Chris and Adam ondra. Alex honnold is famous only because of his ability to free solo. Not becuase he's a particularly good climber
Legend, always been my favourite climber
Such a legend and inspiration! Chris you go about everything in life the right way.
Ondra approach: waits till the humidity drops below 56.231705%
Sharma approach: climbs a 9a+ after just having a beer
Actually in the Chinese medicine 56.231705% is a weak number so he'll do it at only 56.231579% which is a stronger number
Why turn off ratings? Everyone likes Chris.
You are inspiring Chris!! Such an awesome outlook on life.
Life is good!

sick song during the send. Feels like a throwback to the Capelton in the Biographie video
Only legends name a route joe mama
Chris, you're so inspirational!
Funny how everyone around on the wall just stopped and watched Xd. Nice job!
...so we finished work early, had a beer and just for the fun of it went back to the route...and as it so happend...the film crew was right there....hurray!!
did he really said "what's the heck i'll try it" and casually "crush" a 9a+ ???? I know it's chris but stil... 0_o
TMabsolute casually crush...after dozens of tries the year before.
TMabsolute Yeah, after putting insulation in the roof of his house, then having a beer and climbing at the gym, all in the same day.
congrats chris! you rock!
Peter Heymann no pun intended haha
Does that mean he climbs himself?!?!?!?
Was going to take a rest day then watched this and was like 'what the heck I'll train.'
You are my role model. Everything you have done is so amazing and I hope to be 1/5 as good and happy as you are in your life. Congrats!

Erik Thorsell Looks like a retraced figure eight with a back-up knot.

Its funny how being 'unfit' to him is like going from 9c to 9b+

That’s because the stuff Chris is climbing is wayyyy harder than what Alex is trying
