So this person just wanted to climb without ever having to figure the moves out? Doesn't seem like much fun to me.

I think that's the same girl that Katie Brown compared/contrasted Tori Allen to in an article in either R & I or climbing. She's about 17 or 18 or something isn't she? Either way, onsighting 13a is STOUT!

That's just not right. As a courtesy to the rest of us mortals I think they should at least have to stop and think a bit before pulling down on something crazy.

While it is impressive that her harder onsights are close in grade to her redpoints, I am not so sure that she could redpoint routes that are graded a lot harder. I am not saying this to knock her ability or anything, I just think that she onsighted routes that are perfectly suited to her strengths. She is kinda cute though, and seemed pretty cool.
