  • Thumbs up if you pressed mute :)

  • Why does every good climbing video on youtube have shit - ass music in the background!!! Do you really think Sharma has Rap music going on in his head as he climbs!!!

  • "First try"

  • The NRG is my home crag. The route " Proper Soul " is located at endless wall in an area called The Cirque. What makes the Cirque so hard is it overhangs 45 degrees practically the whole way up - 120 feet. The routes are all bouldery and technical. It really puts into perspective how good Sharma is. Standing under this route, As I have many times before, you wonder " how is this climbable? ". And here Sharma rolls up, puts his shoes on and sends it. Amazing.

  • This is just the oddest music choice. No slag on the song, but I don't get how it fits in anyway.

  • @souldiarra that's absolutely untrue, in sport climbing it's considered "onsight" also if the protection are placed before, the only thing that counts is that you never tried the road before and that you never saw someone climbing it (anyway, in the youtube era, this second aspect becomes difficult to prove or not)

  • @souldiarra Yeah, with pre-placed protection, one pretty much sees the route already established, it's more skill than puzzle, and some just prefer one over the other, that's all. Who really cares about all the definitions though? Just climb & have fun!

  • @hoey77 it's "travelin" by elle dirty d lux

  • wicked climb, but who is the music artist???

  • @Snorri520 thanks for current definition of onsight. pre placement in sport climbing as opposed to trad climbing sounds easier though, however, i assume the aim in sport climbing is more to push the physical boundaries rather than the philosophical/ ethical. sport climbing seems to me a more aesthetic way to climb.
