Empath

In May of 2021, La Sportiva athlete Keenan Takahashi topped out Empath, the country's latest sought after sport line. His ascent capped months of frustration, doubt, and a singular dedication to this life list goal.
Follow Keenan, Paige Claassen and Pablo Hammack as the crew attempts this spectacular line together, demonstrating that our personal goals are often realized through the combined efforts of a team.

Man Keenan managing to look like both Cheech & Chong at the same time. Super sick video.

A very stupid name to a very cool climb.

[@prycehundley2982]

Why is it stupid?

[@compellingpeople]

@@prycehundley2982 I'll let a professional explain, you go to 39 min for the answer, but I reccomend the entire video. ruclips.net/video/NTN-C0Qone4/видео.html

[@icystriker]

Eh, as far as route names go there are much more stupid ones. Besides the climber world has always had self-aggrandizing characters in it.

[@wrathika]

In the pantheon of stupid and offensive names for lines Empath doesn't even rate. I really don't care to watch the 40ish min vid link you shared but the general definition is someone who's a mind reader or reads emotions no? I assumed it was thus named because you have to really control your emotions to send?
