True believers solo ropeless.

This guy is so full of bull. Dangler is a couple of moves with bomber holds and bomber protection. The god thing borders on the nauseating.

you make climbing less fun by preaching your sermon on the rock. thanks for needing to justify the reality of the rock with your illusionary concept of god.

seems like you've invested more faith in a rope and harness.....and agreed with punchpixie that this particular climb isn't as technical as it appears, but instead just something fun to smooth out the ego......because it looks big.

btw joe, nice hand bump technique on the traverse.

This climb is rated between 5.8 and 5.10....people do it as a gimmick climb because it looks impressive to people that don't climb. I think that is why he chose this climb for his 'testimonial'.....to attempt to be impressive.

I have found that the most impressive people in life aren't making videos trying to show people how impressive they are.

What does the bible say? "Let not the left hand know what the right one doeth." Mt6:3

rock climbing is all about god. why didn't I see the connection before?

what a load of crap.

Good one paulraphael !

[Paul Raphaelson]

put too much faith in god when you're rock climbing and you'll be sure to meet him real soon.

[Kevin Gallagher]

"Ultimately, that wall is totally out of control...one of the things that draws me to rock climbing is there is that God element.."

How about: I like God. I like climbing. They aren't really related. Except to me.

I'd put my faith in... oh I don't know, sound reason and logic?

Yikes.
