climber511 Posted October 24, 2018 Author Share Posted October 24, 2018 I'm hopeful that if we can get rid of the "big man" sport and respect aspect - we can attract more lightweights (climbers). Not meaning to start that discussion all over again - sorry. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love when a little guy destroys a juice monger. I get giddy.

I was thinking of having a BWT timed Fat Gripz hold at my contest next year Edited October 24, 2018 by Kluv#0 syntax 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Durniat and I were the only ones who did all of them, tho he had to dig deep on the campus board ladder. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
