    A wizard neither punts nor flashes, he sends precisely when he means to.

    mega! and at least there's no danger of someone finding a knee bar and downgrading it

      Dave Graham continues to send impossibly difficult boulders into his 40s using beta that can only be described as utter nonsense

    So technical! This route looks like a pure Dave Graham specialty, and I hope there's not some way for the youth to power through it without all the intricacy and precision that Dave demonstrated here.

    • @madraven5915
      @madraven5915 10 месяцев назад

      He didn't need to spot that fall. Unless he was asked to spot close, his main job would be to help Dave land on pads, when further up the boulder.

    • @amarkert65

    The key about downgrading a static kneebar 8c+boulder, is not the power, the endurance, the finguerstrength.....
    Is all about put better the kneebars.... good luck with the grade.
