  • 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

  • congrats john! great drop knee at 3:32, burley power!

    best of luck on your journey and props to your pop!

  • Kinda looks like Adam Ondra

  • I wish I'd started climbing when I was 8 instead of 20 :0

    Kudos to the parents for giving this kid the opportunity to get involved in a great sport!

  • rockin the neon Metolius chalk bag!! awesome! your a stud!
