do you realize how stupid you people sound, you put rating on fucking Rocks, Rocks........., "oh this is a v45 and this one is a 5.98, and this rock is a f20000, but no one can climb a galgamec double nutron five star." just SHUT THE FUCK UP there fucking rocks, rocks thats all they are. " Bouldering!!! yeah lets go Bouldering, Bouldering is so exillerating!!!!" you climb on rocks 3 feet of the fucking ground, and if it is higher than than that you have harnesses, this is a fucking retered sport
@386sean Hey bud, try proof reading next time you wish to put a negative and also uninformed comment on the internet. I believe the only stupid/ 'retered' thing on this page is yourself.
@Bouldr89 hahaha, BUD, i could care less if i spelt a few words on youtube wrong, this isnt an english paper, its a comment on a video, do you have your english teacher proof read your commetns before you post them, you understood what i said thats all that matters,and to KERNELPANICPSEC, i think skiing is almost as stupid as this "sport" Tennis is for gay people, or the french, and i get F's on my exams not D's.
But anyway i hope you guys have fun climbing imaginary rocks :)
@386sean I think you are possibly the only person who has ever complained about the grading of a rock. My hat is off to you your life must be an exhilaration one to live my friend.
@386sean You're clearly at home playing world of warcraft all the time you flaming tubby nerd you're jus insecure that you're probably too obese to play anysports get back to Call of duty you fat fucking troll
@386sean WTF! You are so fu***ing ignorant. Isn't there colours on ski slides, or points on a tennis match or even a D on your school exams. Maybe we want to know if we are prepared to climb a rock knowing it's difficulty.
@386sean lol xD Your comment is kinda funny really. But I guess that's what climbing looks like to non-climbers. Y don't you just try it yourself, so you get an idea of what rockclimbing is all about?
great video. damn dave is skinny in this vid, he looks like an alien. It kinda surprises me to see him stick his leg behind the rope on that backfoot flag he does toward the end. Good thing he didn't fall there.
amazing. do you think anyone that is not so tall and lanky could do that? he looks about 6 foot 10"...those wide leg moves could only be done by someone with his build!!! or no? amazing...
@donnywal Having height in climbing is both an advantage and a disadvantage at times.I myself am only 5'9" inches and am always moaning about hieght but that is only because I like moaning lol Essentially in my limited experience of 6 months climbing it is ALL about your technique. Sure it helps having arms like an ape but if you don't have the skills/knowledge needed to do a route - your not gonna do it :)
@voltemands : I just asked a question, geez....It was not a smart ass comment, I am very new to this. At least you have something to share, the jerk above you makes me not want to ask climbers questions anymore.
@donnywal At our local climbing gym there are 2 sisters roughly 11 and 12 that cleanly climb 13's like its nobody's business. I laugh a bit to myself every time I hear someone complain about their height.
@donnywal Let me refresh your memory: "do you think anyone that is not so tall and lanky could do that?" First, aside from your question being a rhetorical complaint, I most certainly think that shorter people could find a way up that. Stop trying to detract from his accomplishment by attributing it to his height. It gets old hearing the same complaints, "I'm not tall enough", or "he has such a big advantage because of his height." Just climb it, and figure our your own beta.
@naval8viator : Yes, you refreshed my memory, THAT IS A QUESTION!!! See the question mark! Sorry if i have questions to ask, you just make climbers look bad going off at the mouth to a person with a question, learning about the subject! Go try that route yourself with no ropes moron.
@milkmandan77 Why get a boring unfulfilling 9-5 desk job that pretty much anyone could land when you can get paid to do this for a living? Let's face it, standard jobs suck.
@TheDiddlysquat Nice man! but i hope you don't fall because i don't think there many second try when youfall from 80 feet :S be carefull and more importantly never overestimate urself when soloing a wall!
@TheDiddlysquat what are u talking about man... a walk in the park... its a 5.15 this guys is one of the few who can climb that. and beside the goal in climbing is not being killed or injured...
@HKMANIAK it's unclimbable until someone climbs it. so nothing is "unclimbable" in a away. a shame there is a lot of chipping (manipulating climbs to make it easy ie. "climbable") taking place. chipping destroys the climb and leads straight to hell.
You deserve a lot of respect guys. I love low mountains (up to 2km) and fast hill walking, but hanging on 1 finger, 200 metres above the ground.. Its my dream, but also a nightmare.
Yep... "Sharma's Realization" ! This guy would have had his whole movie crew recording his first ascent :-) Also it's Biographie, but Sharma renamed the route like a f*cking conquistador (quite rude). Congratulations Dave !
Conquistador? And who climbed realization in its entirety first? Hmm maybe ill go climb halfway up a rock and call it a route. Then if anyone else comes along and climbs the whole line and decides to rename it, ill deem them rude. Lol
@house4ursoul You're ignorant so I shouldn't answer your rant, but I'm told people may change. You won't of course... but someone else may be reading us.
Mexico City was called Tenochtitlan before it was "discovered" and renamed by the Conquistadores. In the same way "Realisation" is called "Biographie" and Sharma's renaming it like a dog pees on a tree to mark its territory is just rude.
And btw SOMEONE opened that route before anyone else could CLIMB it. And he happened to call it Biographie.
I wont even acknowledge your terrible analogy. Placing bolts in a rock does not give you the right to name it, and badly placed bolts at that. Also, Chris Sharma is one of the nicest, most generous, and most humble guys i have ever met. He gladly gives advice and is willing to lend a spot or belay to anyone from v1 boulderers to 5.15 climbers.
Im sure that if enough people requested to retract the name realization and go with biographie instead, he would, no problem. Also Petit only opened the first half. Which is the easier of the two halves. The name stays. Realization, the first recognized 5.15a! Keep fuming buddy. It aint changing the name.
@house4ursoul Actually you do acknowledge my analogy :-) Bolting a route actually gives the right to name it everywhere in the world - where you come from is the EXCEPTION (look at the vids on the right of your screen). And you actually seem to be the one fuming. But Sharma's reputation doesn't actually need you - just drop the homoerotic fantasy that goes with the "winner takes all but I haven't done anything myself so I have to bark like a mongrel" approach. It's boring, actually.
Shit, he almost killed himself at 1:23 he swings his left leg in front of the rope. If he had fallen like that he would have flipped over as he fell possibly smashing his skull on the rock. Damn lucky he stuck that move.
@ender52 agreed man. I was climbing a route at my rock wall and i just had my arm in the wrong place while top roping and when I fell I pretty much ended up upside down. It was scary o.o
it's amazing to me it took Sharma 5 YEARS to send this, i know it took Dave another 5 but i wish they would have shown the Dave climbing the crux! Dave is good but not in Chris's league. he made it look really easy. let's see dave send Jumbo Love next, probably take him another 5 years. still, in all honesty , i cant climb a 5.10 so it really is amazing . wish i could watch these guys climb live. must be inspiring!!! way to go DAVE
dave (and ethan pringle) came pretty close to sending jumbo love before sharma did. he matched his highpoint in like a couple days. but i agree, chris is on a whole other level than basically anyone with the exception of maybe adam ondra and patxi.
@BAProductions91 dave and ethan pringle did not get "close" to sending jumbo love. ethan pringle got the highest which is half way up before heat made him leave. ethan pringle was also quoted as saying he htought jumbo was more like a 5.15c than a B. Dave got shorter up the wall than Pringle did.
@TheTranceGuru regardless on how close to the top at least ethan was, that does not change the fact that he was close enough to sending that chris was threatened and "politely" asked ethan via email to stop trying it. i think that was more of a factor than heat for ethan leaving.
There's no bigger turn on in the universe than listening to some whiny retard say 'come on Dave' fifty times....... how 'bout shutting the fuck up and let him climb.......
are you saying it's easy to climb in jeans or are you saying this route is easy. because this route is not easy and i bet you couldn't get a meter off the ground!
i do know that the hardest line ever done was considered 5.15.b because i spent six weeks in the rockey mountains, one of which was rock climbing in the rockies themselves, and my instructers, very experienced confirmed it. 5.15.b
Prehaps it cane make people climb better but personally i wouldn't like a load of people shouting encouragement at me. Theys already alot of pressure and you might need to communicate with your belayer.
Pretty amazing. I'm a little shocked to see him get his foot in front of the rope a couple of times (very dangerous if you're a new climber, a fall means a flip and a lead fall :(. Fun to see, especially in the wind!
The thing with climbing is, you never know how hard it really is until you try it. you never know how good/bad a hold is, until you try it. you never know how the rock feels, until you touch it.
All these haters out there, go climb some stuff. 5.15 is insane. Like someone postet elsewhere:
it's the level god would climb after hard practise.
im curious, i have just started bouldering myself so im a bit new to the terminology, what is the 5.15a or c or whichever is that like a rating system of some sort?
climbers are bitchy in general, they are quite dominant monkeys. this not just a guy climbing, that is dave graham climbing realization-aka biography extension. its one of the hardest routes in the world son!!!!!1
It seems to me that alot of people are mistaking this climb with three degrees of separation which is the climb sharma does on king lines. I don't believe their is a dyno in realization.
dmoney0015 is a oversensitive whiny omish bitch. darkangel00909 sounds like their probably 12 yrs old or if thats not the case his daddy didnt whoop his ass hard enough when he acted like a little bitch when he was11
Post a video of you climbing it then? Have some respect. This is a well known climb in the rock climbing community and it is most certainly a 5.15 stop trying to put other people down.
I like osman too. But, in the last ten years, 5.14 and 5.15 have been created. In the last ten years v13 and 14 have been created. this is area that was previously unknown to climbers. Maybe, osman could have done these things, but he didn't invent them and they weren't around when he climbed. Osman is a hero, but climbing has surpased his ability. He's a legend for innovation in his time but he couldn't climb with people now.
sure, bird was a great innovator in his time and was above almost everyone. However, you can't tell me that kobe wouldn't mop the floor with bird. Kobe does moves that bird would have never seen during his prime. Same argument I think.
maybe not, but the argument that came up is bird vs. kobe. The solid answer is ofcourse kobe is better at basketball now than bird. Just like sharma is better than osman. Being a legend is one thing, but who is actually better is another. Present day climbers are better now.....periord.
Present day anything is better than past everything.
I(t's about how much Osman was better than all of the other climbers of his time. Sharma isn't that much better than the other guys out there climbing.
I hate to dip my feet into this poo-fest, but are you saying Dan Osman was unquestionably the best climber of his time? Ever heard of someone named Wolfgang Gullich? Alex Huber? Jibe Tribout? Frederic Nicole? No?
Osman switched his focus away from sport climbing after some French climbers onsighted a project he spent years putting up. If you're saying he was that much better of a climber than anyone else at the time, you're being quite ignorant. Nothing against the man, but let's stay realistic
I will never climb 515 and cant pretend to tell you that it is a possibility. But i can say that when I am trying something difficult, I prefer silence. The you got its' and the c'mons just seem to cloud my mind and ruin the purity of the beauty in the accomplishment. We all experience in different ways. Cheers!

i do know that the hardest line ever done was considered 5.15.b because i spent six weeks in the rockey mountains, one of which was rock climbing in the rockies themselves, and my instructers, very experienced confirmed it. 5.15.b

Pretty amazing. I'm a little shocked to see him get his foot in front of the rope a couple of times (very dangerous if you're a new climber, a fall means a flip and a lead fall :(. Fun to see, especially in the wind!

The thing with climbing is, you never know how hard it really is until you try it. you never know how good/bad a hold is, until you try it. you never know how the rock feels, until you touch it.
All these haters out there, go climb some stuff. 5.15 is insane. Like someone postet elsewhere:
it's the level god would climb after hard practise.

outdoor is more dangerous. Expect a bruise or cut after falling.

imagine an insanely hard bouldering problem. One that many top climbers cant do. Now imagine it being 100 feet long.

Actually the boulder problem is at a modest 7C, which is relatively easy and should be flashed (at ground level) by most top climbers.

Post a video of you climbing it then? Have some respect. This is a well known climb in the rock climbing community and it is most certainly a 5.15 stop trying to put other people down.

ianedwards19 3 years ago
I like osman too. But, in the last ten years, 5.14 and 5.15 have been created. In the last ten years v13 and 14 have been created. this is area that was previously unknown to climbers. Maybe, osman could have done these things, but he didn't invent them and they weren't around when he climbed. Osman is a hero, but climbing has surpased his ability. He's a legend for innovation in his time but he couldn't climb with people now.

Sorry, but that's like saying Kobe Bryant is better than Larry Bird.
ianedwards19 3 years ago
sure, bird was a great innovator in his time and was above almost everyone. However, you can't tell me that kobe wouldn't mop the floor with bird. Kobe does moves that bird would have never seen during his prime. Same argument I think.
boxsterwelby 3 years ago 2
Youn can't compare greatness in different eras.
ianedwards19 3 years ago 2
maybe not, but the argument that came up is bird vs. kobe. The solid answer is ofcourse kobe is better at basketball now than bird. Just like sharma is better than osman. Being a legend is one thing, but who is actually better is another. Present day climbers are better now.....periord.
boxsterwelby 3 years ago
Present day anything is better than past everything.
I(t's about how much Osman was better than all of the other climbers of his time. Sharma isn't that much better than the other guys out there climbing.
ianedwards19 3 years ago
yep, couldn't have said it better myself.
boxsterwelby 3 years ago
I hate to dip my feet into this poo-fest, but are you saying Dan Osman was unquestionably the best climber of his time? Ever heard of someone named Wolfgang Gullich? Alex Huber? Jibe Tribout? Frederic Nicole? No?
Osman switched his focus away from sport climbing after some French climbers onsighted a project he spent years putting up. If you're saying he was that much better of a climber than anyone else at the time, you're being quite ignorant. Nothing against the man, but let's stay realistic
