Unfortunately Silence and many other difficult routes are physically impossible for her bc of her size, she's only 4'10"

And the insane flexibility with drop knees!

tesina21 was it the same for the first free ascent of the Nose, isn’t it? 😉

dude her raging after falling is really reminiscent of ondra. like body language and everything.

@@tesina21 she sent Erebor by yeeting off fingernail holds that stef couldn't do. she'd figure it out.

she isnt the only one, thats the new generation of climber. There will be a lot of kids who climb that strong

they probably don't have it idiot

@@viktorlnt7835 are you saying she didn't send?

@@themeatpopsicle he's probably saying, that it's a lot of effort to have a camera team for several days or even weeks, which films every attempt just in case of a send.

@@viktorlnt7835 blimey Victor that's a bit harsh!

@@themeatpopsicle wtf everything needs to be on film now? So there was no climbing like 20 years ago?

XD

legit came here just for this comment.

Gravity doesn't affect a person who weighs 70 pounds as much as somebody who weighs a Buck 80

@@barreldreamz7852 hahahahaha

@@barreldreamz7852 this comment is pathetic. U can climb 8b even if you do have some weight. Just look at martin stranik.

Agreed!

I think most people who climbed the route did it.

@@jonathanschmidt1668 Yeah mitdbo in his ascent did the same.

Go to the settings tab and turn on english captions.

@@damiensmith8351 True - they just don't work super well in my experience.

@@shokland that depends on if they are automated or translated... here they are translated proper subs

@@mattiasgonczi Ok - Thanks!

to count as send she had to do it in one go withou falling. and yes when u clip its finished

I think you might have missed the fact that he uses the grigri lefthanded. Which is a special technique also visible on the petzl website. He is holding the brake rope with his left hand while squeezing the device to give rope.

@@karlderdelinckx I think you might have missed the fact that he's still using it the wrong way (aka deadly) at 4:55. It has nothing to do with Petzl recommendations. If in doubt please check out `decking at red rock` video on youtube.

You should really recheck the video a copple times to see what realy is going on. The example you give of red rock is something completely different. For the clipping he has to give 2 lengths of rope to not make her ascent not valid. Which might indeed have a possible groundfall. That’s why you see him at a certain point completely hanging in the rope as a belayer to prevent her from touching the ground. If he is keeping one finger under the grigri or not which potentially could block the device is difficult to make out from the video.

Not using knee pads doesn't make the route a lower grade though.

@@sploo13 yet he has a different surname

@@sploo13 thanks I read the description now. Nevertheless her father is called Enrico Rogora and the titles at the end indicate another name for the belayer.

Titles are right, description is not accurate

It triggered a lot here!!😂

Totally agreed

No, you should not have to expect questions about your look and weight from random dudes not atall involved in making you training preparations.

Because when you feed slack to the leader with a grigri it has a strong tendency to block (and you cannot afford the rope pulling on a 9b). Even Petzl suggests keeping one hand on the climber's strand and one hand on the grigri (see link below). Actually, this is why the grigri has a lip on one side: to keep your finger there. Personally I find this cumbersome and even dangerous. All the accident I witnessed or heard of where the belayer failed (3-4 in 20+ years of climbing) happened with a grigri (when the belayer instinctively squeezes the grigri with his brake hand preventing it to lock). I do appreciate that blocking when you feed slack is a common issue for many auto-locking devices. A final word of wisdom: never take important advice from the youtube comment section. www.petzl.com/US/en/Sport/Belaying-with-the-GRIGRI?ActivityName=Rock-climbing

Yeah but he’s holding it with the wrong hand and feeding rope with his right.

Also your first finger on your right hand goes under the lip, and NOT under the device which prevents gripping tie device in a sudden fall and keeping the brake assist from closing.

And it’s not an “auto-locking” device. It’s an assisted braking device. :)

m.petzl.com/US/en/Sport/VIDEO---Specific-left-handed-technique?ProductName=GRIGRI He is left handed.

I think as long as she is not trying to get pregnant it's fine. These world class climbers just can't afford to weigh more. Ofcourse it's not healthy but thats the price they are willing to pay to be the best of the best.

Yeah you have no idea what you're talking about 😂 some body types can eat all the food they want and are still skin and bones.

It's probably just her body type. Try sending a 9b with a calorie deficit.

@@VladimirOhYeah There is without a doubt a crossover point where weight going down and send grade going up cross. Where that is is the question. Not sure how you'd also account for body fat in that metric as well, but it would obviously be a large contributing factor to the weight.

@@jlehm It's probably more or less self balancing. Climbing is a fairly functional sport, so your body would probably produce just as much muscle tissue as you need. Sure you could try tweaking the fat content of your body down, but I doubt that a good athlete would push it to the limit. Fat also serves a protective purpose, so it would be pretty dumb for a climber to risk an injury, just to get a little weight advantage.

What does that even mean!? Shes climbing 9b, do you actually think that would be possible if she had an eating disorder? And if you're 'joking' it's even more toxic. Pull your head in, congratulate her on the send, and don't be an asshole to try shame her body or people with serious and debilitating disorders.

what is that allegation even?

I wonder if you deserve to be alive after making such comment. Probably you don't, but then again it must be hard to know you gotta live with yourself until the day you die.

jlehm - i bet you wonder all kinds of dumb crap. no need to share it

I'm not shaming her and I do find her ascent really impressive. That does not change the fact that she is clearly underweight. Her face is down right skeletal and her thighs and glutes are beyond undersized. If you all think eating disorders aren't extremely prevalent among top level athletes, you're disillusion. I honestly posit the question of would she send even harder if she didn't have an eating disorder.
