FFA of the Nose. Countless other feats that are not only technically difficulty, but huge head-games. Lynn Hill is a pioneer and visionary. She is not the best female climber in the world. She is arguably the best climber in the world.

Do male monkeys climb any better than female monkeys? NOPE. Then why assume male humans are automatically stronger climbers than female humans? Fools.
-
I'm not climbing nor even interested in, but I really love to hear and read what she talks.

@thejugglingfool he has a point - women actually are less capable than men because they have different bodies
-
she's just sexy to me lol
-
@jimclash you did a great job. and it's great you responded ! love it.
-
@jimclash But is the fact that she can outclimb "most men" the important aspect of her career? You are essentially stating that by opening with the statement.

Jim did a ok job, but he's obviously never rock climbed. Maybe a little field research a good factual interview could turn into a great interactive interview. Just sayin

@norsum9 not true: she hadn't tied a knot at all, but didn't notice due to her jacket hiding the rope. She'd been distracted while roping up, and didn't check the knot. She explains it all in the first chapter of her autobiography.

Lynn once fell 70 feet from the top of a sport climb. She fell when she was lowering off because her harness was only velcroed closed, not threaded properly and doubled-back.. She broke both ankles and is lucky to be alive.
she explains it really well, it's really hard to explain cmilbing to non-climbers.
I hate how the interviewer says everything like men are so much better than women.like in the beginning he's like- a woman who can outclimb most men. women are no less capable than men so that comment should never even have been made. but that's just my rant...

I normally don't respond to comments, but actually thought I did a decent job of handling the man-woman thing here.
