Wasn't it a poster or something, that shot of John on Razors Edge?
That's the shot that blew me away BITD.

1) Sonnie clearly had that thing wired.
2) What was with the bouldering pad?
3) Why was the young Bachar wearing Stannard's swami belt?

gotta say, though, Bachar would have climbed that thing way more smooth
I recall watching him float up Leave it to Beaver ropeless....what a sight!

1. So what? I think if you wanted to make a tribute video having it wired is a good thing when the cameras are rolling.
2. So the ballcuppers don't scuff up their knees.
3. Artistic license of the filmmakers maybe. It's a great shot from Eldorado Canyon and probably cheaper to use compared to paying that other guy.

At least from everything I've ever heard about him, Sonnie seems down to Earth, honest and a VERY well rounded climber. John was a legend, but Sonnie ain't no punk...
Cobra Crack, Ambrosia, East Face monkey on gear, The Path, El Cap Free via The Prophet... he's no slouch e'rybody!

Proof that ST is poser.
This is fine art of the real core of climbing.

Being an alum from the JB era, it is good to see the torch being passed on.
JB was the man, cool as smooth jazz on 5.whatever free-solo way exposed.
He was so smooth on things, you could never tell where the crux was when you watched him and dream as he flashed it. And he did it WITHOUT a crash pad.
We won't forget. Nice Send Sonnie.

If he did the leap you KNOW they would have included it in the vid!
