kilian fischhuber 1st 8c flash !?
It seems like 10 is not enough. There are just too many good climbers around the world. But, i would definitely put Freh Rouhling on the top because of his approach towards climbing.
I think a problem is that most of the 8a.nu suggestions are scoreboard holders. Other strong and damn good climbers (no scoreboard holders) aren't even mentioned!
I find it truly amazing that you are leaving out Tommy Caldwell.....Dihedral Wall people! Sharma did not even do anything this year....Tommy gets no credit on this site....
There are a lot of people missing, that didn't puplish, but to say someone didn't establish anything this year is bad: Chris Sharma climbed the most astonishing boulder problem in Magic Wood, flashed nearly everything on the Mello-Bloc-Festival...
Don't forget the Brits, Spanish and French world class climber!!!
Toni isn't talking about "Die unendliche geschichte 1+2". He's talking about "Practice of the wild", a truly amazing line and a fantastic performance. The most inspiring piece of climbing I've ever seen.
Climber of 2004
