i've only talked to one ascensionist of TW in person, but i was under the impression that it had seen at least 5 ascents, and none w/ the type of trickery described. i know there's an old video w/ Kim Czimasia(sp?) on it, she even untied and soloed the finish.

DING DING DING!!!!
We have some winners! This one is the Living Conjunction in Josh. And that is Junior on the thing and Dick Cilley bagged the FA. Mike Lechlinski is manning the rear belay. CantSay is right... there is some weird ass spew back in the cave that looks like guano mixed with bloody stools.... some sort of Living Conjunction.

TW has been done a bunch of times (6+) by a bunch of people with no funny business.

unfortunately JB, I think some staunchers would call taping your pants "funny biz"...
PS-that's a 'way rad' offwidth tipper for you up and coming 'wide and hards'...

Jaybro--
Any suggestions on training for something like TW? I'm wondering more in terms of abs. You a crunch demon or do you just have to go to the crossroads and sell your soul?

426- the reverend fish sez it's ok to tape your pants leg.
Marty(r) -you sure that soul was your to sell in the first place?
-mainly it's about getting used to being upside down that long ( get over the exploding face feeling and you're almost there).Inverted sittups, with (inverted) rests will do the trick.
For $250k I will sell you a house with a wooden ow roof crack that will teach you every thing you need. Train a for bit and resell and you'll climb TW AND make money. Even with a second derivative decline (ie they are now raising at a less obscene rate than before) in Cali real estate prices.

Was checking out the UKC newsletter and saw this fine shot of Johnny. Did a Woodward search and was surprised to find no Woodward appreciation thread so this seemed like a good one to bump with it.

No idea! Even if I knew, I couldn't admit to it.
(Short-term memory guy)
Whatever it is, I'm never going near it, except with a camera. Video preferred. That just looks like it hurts too much.
What about placement #2? Where that at? Don't tell me, just out past the "ground-fall-potential" area... Right?
