A Mellow Bavona "Troppi progetti" 

Maybe he has...

Kinda looks like if Orlando bloom in pirates of the Caribbean grew out his hair and beard a bit

Keep going dude, the only shoes I've ever tried that just keep getting better with wear! What other shoes can you toe crimp with?!

Yeah they may not be the best shoe available, but you can't beat the price.

Repeat it! The sole will get harder and thicker and your toes will get much stronger! Toe crimping will be guaranteed ;)

I agree

Yeah, I'm freaking out normal height boulders. That thing was high as heck with a crazy lip to get around. Respect for the last dude, he killed it with no shoes

Man, the height on the cruz move makes my knees wobble.

Does the ground up mean he didn't TR it first?

@@kenny2036 yes

@@kenny2036 what’s TR?

@@Rafa-uj2oi toprope

hahaha Legit good question!!

Yep, just comparing his and Jimmy’s beta is insane. Is it even a crux anymore ?!

Some benchmark static lockoffs indeed.

Hooking with snug shoes on plastic holds can be a pain sometimes...

ahem... you mean 'commendable feet'?

Most of the time on hard highballs, people will typically rap down to clean the holds and try out the upper moves so you don’t get super high up and have no idea what to do. Ground up means exactly what it sounds like, sending a highball from the ground up, without trying the upper moves on a rope

@@TheGuy10O0 I didn't know that..thanks

I assumed "ground up ascent" meant that if you blow the top-out, you're hamburg.

But not climbing shoes tho

that's not charles. Charles is in the river

@@oldi6btm6t9d4 and wearing shoes!

Ground up is a style where you climb a boulder without checking the moves with a ladder or a toprope, it makes a difference only when the boulder is a highball because it leads you to trying hard moves for the first time when you are already far off the ground.

Another commenter explained, didn't try out the top moves on rope first. He was getting some beta but hadn't seen the top before trying.

He's been. Didn't pay his permits. Climbed hard for sure,but didn't contribute to the local climbing economy.

@@calebainsworth7247 didn't know that. But the truth is that the man lives a bohemian life. Don't expect him to be the guy who follow the rules and who contributes to the economy. The guy has no sponsors and no equipment.

@@ewenmahevas3473 He has a clothing sponsor and he's part of the Mellow mob. He can be as bohemian as he wants,but if you're in SA you pay your permit. The Cederberg rangers build paths,waymarkers and liase with the landowners to ensure access to the climbing areas. Swerving a permit is a cop out. The local rangers don't work for free. I've been a dirtbag myself so I get the ethos...but you gotta pay your dues.

Less!

all sold out unfortunately god damnit

In Val Bavona, a valley in switzerland

Sounds like he is saying "je veux le 22" which could be translated as "I want the 22". But I don't know what this might refer to.

"Je veux le valider" wich in this context mean "I want to send it" .

Hi zach

I think it means that he did not rehearse it on top rope, hence the confusion at the top.

Ah ok like old school roped climbing ethics

Second

Who cares.

delusional

Shoes are aid

Isn't there some Font boulder, or version of a Font boulder, that Albert's done barefoot and Jimmy Webb thinks is impossible *with* shoes?

Why would the foot be dirtier than your shoes ? He likely wash them more frequently that the vast majority of climber wash their shoes
