sounds like Chick. He has is pretty much a badass. The guy owns an apartment building in cleveland and in the basement he has a pretty sweet, huge trad-climbing-training facility. He basically has a every crack size in there including a complete astroman simulator (including the harding slot, seriosly). He also trains by climbing with a dust-mask on to simulate oxygen deprivation. Fucking awesome.
Yeah, I've heard a lot of cool stuff about Chick.
On a related note, last week a friend of mine flew out from Colorado after I had told him about the awesome rock out here. After falling off of quite a few 5.11 sport lines here, and complaining that "the pump is just too much" and wondering how people climb this steep stuff, he proceeded to send "Welcome to Ol' Kentuck" (half a dozen tries, over two days).
pretty sweet.
