Yeah this thread is awesome. Synchronicity where is that?! What a powerful place!
I'd have to add that Edlinger shot of him hanging one arm in the Verdon as well to my favs. Now if we could only see that & the Bachar on OZ. anyone???

RyanD, that is Honnold soloing the Phoenix 5.13, if I'm not mistaken its probably the hardest single pitch solo that has been done in the valley (Werner can correct me). Still If I had to pick one iconic solo it would probably be Honnold's triple solo of El Cap, Half Dome and Mt. Watkins in a day. I don't think most of the world (outside of us climbers) can really grasp the magnitude of that accomplishment.

I remember one of Bachar at the crux of On The Lamb. The poster is somewhere in my basement.

Bullwinkle took a shot of Bachar pulling the lip of More Monkey Then Funky that IMO is one of his best.

Yeah yeah I know OZ is about drugs, I wasn't referring to the Wizard of Oz, thanks for posting up. Sick shots, way to redeem James, not sure how the redpoint would have felt but I'm sure the word relieved comes to mind. I remember reading your story man, well written but yep ur a lucky guy, way to get back up.

The vid of Dean P. soloing Sep Reality is a study in intentional relaxation, me thinks.

G Davis, your clip from Masters of Stone reminded me of how great that series is. I haven't seen VI yet, need to get it. I wish all videos were as Yosemite-centric, but that's just me.
Also reminded me that the series contains what is hands down the worst musical taste in all of climbing videodom. I'd take Euro techno in a heartbeat over that garbage, and I don't like Euro techno.
