Amazing climbing - super precise and fluent - and an inspiring story.
> bet the kid also probably did a bunch of onsighting and ground up trad climbing
The article says he onsighted some E5s, Life Assurance E6 but had a ground fall trying to onsight Ulysses E6 (headpointed FA by Jerry Moffatt, then famously onsighted by Johnny Dawes. This was 20 years ago - no mats in those days.)
Interesting that Ron Fawcett is his hero. I think Ron must have visited Japan, perhaps in the early 80s? By the sound if it he made an impression. In the Glowacz book, there is picture of Glowacz in Japan climbing an arete called Fawcett's Edge or similar. |
