Man, I hate how we sandbag in the southern US... I believe you, that IS a V8... but it looks like a V5 I've climbed down here lol, I HATE this place! lol

I have never done that so forgive me for asking, what was the point? Is that a sport? The comments below make it sound like she spent months planning out how to crawl accross a rock two feet above ground.

@freewill51 Thats called bouldering, its a style of rock climbing where you dont go high and dont need ropes but instead have the protection of "crash pads" to break your fall. Its a more gymnastic style of climbing and the challenge lies within the difficulty of each move instead of the endurance it takes to get to the top. Its alot of fun, you should try it.

I'm with bmosov01, Looks like a good problem,She also looked solid but she didn't put together the whole problem. At least not on FILM....

[bmosov01]

So....did she ever link all the moves from the two crimpy start holds underneath? It looks like she overlapped sequences but didn't send the whole thing...

It's too greasy and overworked to be considered a classic anymore. Anyways, amazing send, very strong.

Abbey Smith rocks Turning Point despite the distractions of an interview and 2 cameras. Thumbs up and Five Stars!

I am always impressed with this sport. I don't think I could climb a rope if I had to. Climbing rocks is a challenge beyond that.
