Dude, you gotta find a way to get that up on youtube or whatever the kids use these days!! Sounds bitchin.

I would love to see that. Get that VHS digitized and share it with us. And bag the Hall and Oates. That crap makes me ill.

Is that video on Souths Steepest? Is so I might know some one with it all ready in digital form.

The video in question here comes from an era prior to even the South's Steepest. It's a home-made video from Souder's personal collection. Before digitizing and sharing, en masse, I would want to get Tom's permission. Anybody got his contact info?

And getting back to the original topic for a moment... Not in the RRG, but I believe Jim Thurmond was the first climber to bring 5.13 to the bluegrass state in 1987 with his traditional West Kentucky test-piece, Thurmonuclear Crack.

that's up there right below the tip of So Ill. if I recall.

yup....thought I recall the legend of Thurmond. Isn't he the farmer that was asked how many pullups he could do, and he shrugged and said "not many...7-8 I suppose"....and then after hesitating he said, we'll maybe 8-9 with my right arm.

Thurmonuclear is amazing. Well worth the drive out there.
