Holy shite did he outkick the coverage

He just climbed 3000 ft without any equipment. It seems like his coverage is limitless

His girlfriend. And I believe she is a climber as well.

I can't imagine how hard it is to be disrespected by the climbing community.

She uses a harness and all that which is cheating because it’s safer. It’s cheating

shite I don’t wear a harness unless a red hat is looking and I climb way higher than them in full welder gear

Walks down the opposite side. It's much more tame.

I can't wait for this documentary. Although they've released so much footage from the climb that I feel like I've probably seen the best parts.

ETA: Hell, is it already available?

Really impressive. I have first hand knowledge of just how difficult something like this is. I failed my first 2 attempts up Mt. Driskill back in 08 and 09. Took 2 years off, trained my arse off and made it in 2011. Such a rush.

Listen to him talk about it on his TED talk. It's hilarious. He climbed over the top and a bunch of tourists were up there and didn't even realize what he'd done. Once he took his shoes off and was walking down barefooted, he got approached about being hardcore for not wearing shoes during his hike down.

Why?

She started dating the hands down GOAT at climbing and then picked it up herself.

Does she pretend like she's better than she is or something?
