Re: Pull ups
Ability to do one-arm pull-ups does not correlate to climbing ability. Of couse, my sample size is only myself, but I can do a one-arm pull-up and I'd be hard pressed to climb with 90% of the people on this board.

Re: Pull ups
usually so...
but i did read this in rock and ice 2 days ago...
Miguel and I watch from the ground. In Spanglish, he tells me that Chris (Sharma) can’t even do a one-arm pull-up. He’s not the strongest guy around, he says. I ask Miguel what makes Chris the best. He taps his finger on his head. “The mind,” he says. “He believes he can climb.”

Re: Pull ups
WOW, this can't be true. I can do a one arm pull-up and haven't even broken into 5.11 yet. I guess I am stronger (probably biceps only) than Chris Sharma?cliftongifford wrote:usually so...

The important metric is definitely grip strengh and grip endurance to body weight. Which unfortunately, is a slow and dificult thing to improve (unless your obese....then just stop eating).

Re: Pull ups
Well, right now I can do 1 pull up only if I cheat, and a decade ago I could redpoint 5.11. Not sure how much correlation stretch you're willing to accept.
When I could do 20 reverse grip pullups on a painted metal doorframe edge (half inch) I could hardly redpoint 5.10, but I could boulder V5. By the time I was climbing harder than 5.10 my pullup prowess had waned and I could probably only manage 10-15 reverse grip pullups on a good solid wrap around hold.
Power and endurance can fluctuate drastically.
