Can't believe this has only 27k views. This is an INSANE level of strength, power, mental control for a boulderer and a bucket list dream for many. Maybe top 5% of boulderers could do this? Anyway, incredible send. Love the lack of music, and just hearing the breeze and stoke from other climbers. Feels like I'm there when it happened.
5/100 boulderes? 44 million climbers worldwide estimated by IFSC, say 1/100th of them we can call boulderers who have bouldered outdoors thats 440k people. I bet only a few hundred people out there have the ability to actually do this right now so based on a bunch of total guesstimates that would be .1% or 1 in a thousand boulderers can do this. still seems high to me but im obviously no mathematician
you can hear Andy (the climber) yell before everyone starts cheering. A yell like that is the sign that the hard part is over and he isn't going to fall. The rest is just slow and careful so he doesn't slip, but not nearly as hard as anything he has already done, plus at that point spotters are useless and would just get hurt trying to help him if he fell.

Great job. That top slab must've been scary as hell
I like how at 2:35 the spotters have become mostly useless and instead look like they're praying the heavens
Absolutely rad send. Congrats man that must have been terrifying!
Love the silence and the jittery leg, good send man! Cheers for your solid vids
Nice work man! I know this one was a long time coming and I'm glad you took it down before you left the area! Congrats!!

The slab seems like the hardest part, and everyone is already cheering. Home slide could still die, it isn't over.
