Did anyone else watch to the end and see that the rating is VII A? Is that 10b??!!
Oh man, he is messing that up. However, he is missing his left leg so that way would probably be harder for him. SCIN, just before spraying some beta for a climber doing a route the WRONG way.

Yep! I love how at the end they slow down on the spot where he almost blew it while being runout at hell. :lol:

VII a in the Czech/German system translates to about 5.8, still pretty impressive for 77, or even 27 considering those runouts...
