Is this a true statement?

Can you compare this to Yosemite decimal system being class 1 2 3 and 4 are scrambling
Class 5 to 5.15d are free climbing

Now wait a minute, Mr. Socks fox!

This was all class 2 by the Localized Lidar System, to approximate the difficulty adding all the Yosemite free solo grades together from class 1 to the hardest known grade of 5.17g, the cumulative YDS for these climbs was 105.58. One can train to this level as I have by palming basketballs glued to the ceiling of La Garita arch while taking certified measurements of its half circumference, 43' to 68', with a lidar tape measure.

You're teaching Edward...that's pretty special.
I don't believe his wheelie escapades. I need pictures, Edward. Cutting edge, death defying stunts needs documentation. A selfie would be great while doing a wheelie, of course.

I fucked up asking for pictures.

Fool. Let's see the photos of you doing the traverse from East to West Crestone. I've done this traverse and no way it's 5th class.

You're definitely probably right I don't trust the Internet or apps either you're an eye witness so you'd know better
I've never been on crestone peak only the needle i wouldn't actually know I admit I just looked it up for curiosity and thanks for response I was really asking and not telling because I never saw any info on it

Here's 2 pictures I took from the needle

This is the selfie I took, unfortunately I think the original photo got blurry or deleted whilst I was transferring the file, this is actually from 2021 I haven't really climbed any summits since other than blanca peak with my dog, I just don't think 14ers are matching my home gym and backyard, I have more places to explore anyway I prefer going locations less traveled

My dog on Blanca peak

I'd like to do Dallas peak next
My first bag was crestone needle then Blanca peak and next I'll do Dallas peak to give high elevation 5+ a try

Then I'll get started on some prerequisite for turret ridge

For example I intend on NEVER climbing the hour glass on little bear peak and doing the alternative 5.6 route to the summit instead

That looks like a nice dog. Maybe spending more time outside with your dog can help you stay grounded, because some of your posts come off a bit unhinged. Since it seems like you're probably a real person at this point and not just an internet personality, I do hope that you can find some peace and continue to enjoy the mountains in whatever way works for you. If I may suggest though, you might want to take a break from forums for a bit.

Dang, is this really real and supposed to be a flex? this whole thing has to be a joke, right?

You look like someone I could easily crush with one hand (not that I would) and you look scrawny enough to tie a sting to and fly like a kite with only a slight breeze.

Get some meat on those bones brother.

Not really true dude I'm not a forum kind of guy most of y'all are straight creeps and I never even intended on posting on 14ers I was lured here unfortunately and asked by y'all to show some proof it's y'all who are upset and obsessed with fondling various forums on the Internet

You caught me not doing wood choppers but technically those 2 ribs are the only thing you got on me didn't stop me from doing NFL sets in the weight room , technically those rib muscles aren't really doing much but you pretty correct I should do some more Weighted Oblique Twists (Russian twists)

Not a forum guy yet you are posting the same photos all over the internet.

You can see an earlier pic here at 168lbs I have some fat covering my 2 ribs but really if I can do some Weighted Oblique Twists I'll be able to bench press 300lbs and deadlift 600lbs at 165lbs bodyweight easily instead of 278lbs and 530lbs and still remain crucially stoned and couch locked but like I'm 33 I need to prepare for old age and being overweight is unhealthy my muscle mass is excellent except the Weighted Oblique Twists, plus lack of stress is the key to living longer and being less stressed

Plus frequently rock climbing is more dangerous than being overweight really I'm comfortable remaining on the couch
