Parody of Miley Cyrus's The Climb by two rock climbing students at Prescott College about the trials and tribulations of lead climbing.
Lyrics:
I can almost see it
The hold I'm needing but
There's a voice inside my head saying,
"You'll never reach it"
Every step I'm taking,
Every piece I'm placing feels
Lost with no protection
My feet are shaking
But I gotta keep trying,
Gotta keep my hands dry
There's always gonna be a 5.9 splitter
I'm always gonna wanna make a move
My rack is looking like a total junkshow
And I can't seem to find my number 2
Ain't about how I got sandbagged
Ain't about how much I wanna hangdog and cry,
Lead the climb
The crux is coming
And I am fumbling
My arms are feeling pumped, but
No, I'm not breaking
The pain I'm knowing
But these are the moments
I'm gonna wish I had a toprope, but
I gotta keep going
I gotta be strong,
Just keep pulling on
There's always gonna be a high fall factor
Cross my fingers that it's under 2
Wish my belayer wasn't such a slacker,
She shortropes me every time I move
Ain't about how I got sandbagged
Ain't about how much I wanna hangdog and cry,
Lead the climb
There's always gonna be a 5.14er
I'm always gonna wanna make a move
Why the hell ain't I Chris Sharma?
I wouldn't have nothing to prove
A little further and I could place it
Cross my fingers that I'm gonna make it there in time,
Lead the climb
Keep movin, keep placin
Keep the faith baby
It's all about the climb
Lead the climb, lead the climb,
Cause it's a 5.9
You are really hilarious. Can you do a (better) cover of 5.10c which I've posted as a video response?
