Patxi has retired from competitive climbing. But Im sure he is still climbing as a lifestyle. A Murete!

@donaldjamesperry why?

venga!!

@AmazedAtheist I also admire his spirit and strength of his mind. Real good climbing is a lot about psychological strenght. I always regognize that in a new way.

@rocjocker But his "smoothness" come from crazy training, not by talent...I think that's the point he wants to make.
Compared to to the "normal" people it's sure he is talented, but compared with other "top climbers" i think he needs more training that them..Not a bad thing, in fact i admire more the training than the talent.

@HosteDenis. The overhanging route was originally bolted in 1989 by French climber Jean-Christophe Lafaille, who named it Biographie. In 1994 Arnaud Petit drilled a mid-way bolt anchor and climbed the lower half of the route, leaving the name Biographie. Chris Sharma, after making the first complete ascent of the entire bolt line in 2001, named the entire route Realization. Petit's anchor has since been removed.

This is the same route that Sharma calls Realization (9a+). Basically the French call it Biographie (named by the person who bolted the route) and the Americans call it Realization (named by first ascentionist Chris Sharma).
Patxi is the best!!!
