There really isn't one - that's what I love about climbing.

soccer would be a good analogy, except soccer players fall down more.

I don't suggest Zinedine Zidanne lightly. It's like being compared to Lynn Hill.

Yo about a tour du France analogy? A new tour, each day of routes so hard no one else has been able to do them before?

Tour de France might be a winner.

A person with "Flop" in their name is pushing a soccer analogy. Interesting. :)

I'd say it's more like trying run a sub-3:00 mile by breaking it up into a series of 88 yard sprints over 20 days, doing several runs per day, and at the end of the 20 days combining your best 20 times to arrive at your mile time. You didn't run the mile in one go, but getting a sub-3:00 time by any means would still be an accomplishment.
[ A mile done at the 100yd dash record speed would yield a 2:66 time ]
