  • Jimmy Webb, Daniel Woods, and Keenan Takahashi battle against one of the hardest undone projects in the United States. On December 15, 2018, after 11 days of effort, Jimmy Webb completed the first ascent of "Sleepwalker", suggesting a grade of 8C+(V16).

    actual send footage that shows the fight rather than cuts of perfectly executed staged moves = a gift to the climbing community. Thank you for bringing this type of format back.

    Just wanted to say I’m a huge fan of the layout of this video. Many things were done right for a climbing video. Closeups of the holds, it didnt say “FA Sleepwalker etc” right before he did the ascent, and it showed the progression/how many sessions were put in. Great job.

    I walked by this problem on the way to do Epinephrine about two weeks ago, and marvelled at how impossible this thing looked. Had no idea what it was, but I knew it was gorgeous, and that whoever was putting chalked on the holds must have been a strong cookie.

  • @josephyoung7564
    @josephyoung7564 5 лет назад +21

    The climbing is incredibly impressive, but just a comment on strength and balance. Jimmy’s back is the most perfectly sculpted example of scapular stability and strength. How balanced his body is and how he uses incredible technique to maximize that strength is truly a thing to behold. Get off your hangboard and go do some scapular work. Holy cheese...
