Why is there a cam at the top? Kid cant handle a little runout?

@lastmanout121 it looks like a 12 to me, and mountain project calls it a 12a. so no you can't climb a 5.15

Ponle casco, no seas animal, es solo un cahamaco haciendo lo que le dice al padre.

@lastmanout121 Sharma could climb a mirror as long as it had a chalk smear on it, but that's beside the point. The kids good for his age, I think he meant he climbed it in 5 min, 12 sec....5:12

If thats a 5.12 than I can climb a 5.15, and Chris Sharma could climb up 100 feet of vertical drywall. pshh
