Sean Bailey (18) - una nueva sรบper estrella
Sean Bailey ha tenido unos muy buenos dรญas escalando por Red River Gorge, en los que ha conseguido tachar dos 8c+'s al 4ยบ pegue: Lucifer y Golden Ticket. Para mรกs seรฑas, el รบltimo hace no mucho que se contaba de 9a. Sobre รฉl escribe en su scorecard: "Muy entusiasmado de hacer escalada. ยกTambiรฉn lo encadenรฉ al 4ยบ pegue! Todo encajรณ mรกs rรกpido que con cualquier otro del mismo grado."
El 18 aรฑero tambiรฉn consiguiรณ hacer sus dos primeros 8b's a vista (Ultraperm y The Last of the Bohicans) y tambiรฉn en el mismo estilo el 8b (+) de God's Own Stone (รฉl ha optado por apuntรกrselo de 8b+ comentando que es su primero del grado a vista). Con todo ello se aupa a la 4ยช plaza del juego del ranking junior. En el รบltimo Campeonato del Mundo juvenil el de Seattle terminรณ 6ยบ tras quedar primero en las rondas previas de la clasificatoria y la semifinal. La foto pertenece a Rudy Ruana, su mentor e incitador. Su entrenador es Tyson Schoene.
"He estado durante aรฑos centrado en la escalada de competiciรณn y entrenรฉ รบnicamente para ello. Por ello, no he tenido la oportunidad de escalar mucho en roca y aunque hay una roca increรญble alrededor de Seattle, no hay la misma alta densidad de vรญas de dificultad por lo que no me consigo probarme muy a menudo en roca. El verano pasado entrenรฉ muy duro para los mundiales juveniles y no tuve la oportunidad de hacer muchos viajes. Sรณlo escalรฉ mรกs o menos un dรญa a la semana en mi zona de escalada local, por lo que este viaje ha sido un sueรฑo. Hay tantรญsimas lรญneas difรญciles e increรญbles que estรกn a tan solo 10 minutos paseando unas de otras. Aunque habรญa pensado sobre si en mi siguiente gran viaje el entrenamiento darรญa resultados, no tenรญa ni idea de que serรญa hasta tal punto. Creo que en este viaje ha habido una convergencia de avances mentales y fรญsicos; no sรณlo es que estรฉ mรกs fuerte que nunca, sino que he entendido de quรฉ soy capaz."
