Apart from all this OT drama, do people believe that the video is real? Seems a little suspicious to me. I'm wondering if there might be a fishing line used to pull the kid up, which is not visible in the low res video.

Good Question...
Apr 11, 2013 - 06:10am PT
"Can anybody comment on his muscle development?
My wife was thinking he must be on steroids and that to me seems a little bit much.

Anybody know about child physiology?
Can any little kid get this bricked if they do the right stuff? "

I'm no expert but I work with a lot of youngsters as a elementary PE teacher and I got to say in response a kid with that kind of build is pretty unusual. The article (link posted earlier) mentions his dad being like that as a kid and coaching the little dude now, so maybe it's a combination of genes and the workout. But for a youngster to be developing that much that early...well stranger things are out there I guess.

That kid is a beast, plus coordinated. Tommy Caldwell should hire him to walk the hard traverse on the Dawn Wall project for him, and kill the project off.

Claiming that an idiotic, previously made statement was trolling all-along is always an interesting strategy. Interesting, in that sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

But it IS something Coz has engaged in repeatedly, after he found out the wind wasn't blowing his direction. If this forum is any indication of the real spirit of the man, he's mean, stupid and a bit of an arrogant f*cktard.

Does this mean my Cosgrove radio interview/goof off appreciation thread isn't going to get many hits when I resurrect it? Ha!

Someone suggested Cosgrove might be projecting issues from his childhood, sure looks like it, but I ain't no shrink.
Jeepers, what a dustup.

Delhi Dog thanks for responding on topic with this answer to my query concerning the child's unusual build:

Kid reminds me of that kid Richard Sandrak "Little Hercules" that the parents had doing hard-core weight lifting at that age. I seem to recall a lot of the same speculation about the parents dosing him. As a now young-adult he denies such claims and said it was just a lot of really hard training and strict diet but who's to say?

And a coward for erasing all your posts and not apologizing.

Amen.

Coz always goes big. Not to make his ego any bigger but the guy is a bad ass.

Not sure if he thinks things through before he acts... I guess he is human after all.


It would suck to be called a pedophile. It sucks more when pedophiles get away.

This post alone would never make me think pedophile, but maybe other posts made Coz see a red flag?

Coz is probably making a big mistake but he is trying to do the right thing. What is the right thing to do?

That's fuking lame deleting all your posts trying to frame someone with pedophilia.

This should never have happened period.

Pedophilia is an extremely serious accusation.

Coz you need to apologize for such abhorrent behavior .....

I object to the title. There is and will remain only one John Gill, and he posted upthread already. LOL. I will admit that the lil kids are kicking ass in the climbing world (lots of them too), and this would have been a great thread to explore that had Coz not sh#t on the thread.

Regarding Coz: Levy and Werner have said it well already, but the question remains, why do you always have to step up and piss in the punchbowl right in front of a room full of folks who want to drink out of it Coz? Furthermore, it's a total weak-assed lame poser dick-weed move to talk sh#t publically and then delete all your posts when called on it. Don't think you can't be sued for defamation AND SLANDER just cause your terrible and mean spirited lying bullshit words are not visible, theres a copy available that any attorney can dredge up. An apology is in order.

Regards to all: you too Coz, but you can do better dude.
