"It took me 4 years until I finally learned how to stand on "edges" I never thought were possible to stand on."
Secretly, folks, I felt the same way when I was learning to climb. Then I read the next bit:
Tommy continued "That is the reason so many 5.14+ or even 5.15 climbers get shut down on El Cap. It takes years to learn the technical hand and footwork you need on el cap."
Hey Chris, does Tommy have to change his shoes often to stand on those "edges"?

Rad, rad, and rad.
I just can't believe this stuff is possible. How many sections has Tommy not figured out the moves on? Is it a matter of putting it all together or do many unlocked sections remain?
Peace

Chris - your gear list shows no cams smaller than a 0.5 camalot. That cannot be, can it?

Does he need/want to be able to do it on one go or could he just climb Mescalito in 10 days like the rest of us chumps! (or is that one go?) Skinner was up on the Salathe for almost a month straight wasn't he?
Pretty Cool!

So I guess Tommy's the reason the "C3F" pitches (according to your book, Chris!) didn't have any fixed pieces when I climbed it a couple of weeks ago? He's freeing what I'm nailing? It's hard to fathom.

Google it and even more places show up, so it's in the wild.
