That's inspiring stuff. Dave Grahm is some kinda super mutant!

he's actually on his second try in this vid, in France "first try" means first redpoint try, after you've already blown the onsight/flash.

I thought it looked like he knew exactly what to do without hesitation. That explains it.

It's always fun watching people climb hard stuff, but I wish a perfect camera angle would be discovered. I suppose the camera man would have to have a jet pack on to really get the feel of a route on tape. Maybe the invention of some sort of wench system for videoing routes is needed. I love watching bouldering clips because the videographers can show the strain, moves, and handholds from sit start to top out. Wish they could do that on routes.

Your own eyes are the perfect angle. Go climb.

Yea, but lets see him do it without the flashy yellow shorts.

Exactly. Yellow shorts of today are like hot pink spandex nutwarmers of yesteryear.
