I was shocked to find Fast Twitch streamable on Vimeo the other day. w/ Chris Sharma doing Necessary Evil and Just Do It. I've been trying to find a way to watch this for years. Just thought I'd share!  |

Wow, that was awesome!
Watching Sharma on Just Do It and hearing Boone Speed and Dale Goddard's analysis on his climbing style was particularly awesome knowing that he indeed would go on to climb much harder things.
Food for thought: Sharma has been climbing at an extremely high level (and full time in awesome locations) for two plus decades. During that time he's progressed one number grade. I get all bent out of shape after 6 months or a year of no improvement in my climbing grade with a much more compromised climbing schedule.
I can't remember where but I remember Dave Graham had a comment that he was once asked "What's it like to be climbing the same grade for a decade?" even though the grade he's climbing is ultra elite.
Hah! For either of those guys it seems ridiculous, the idea of their incremental improvement. They get stuck in the day to day process of climbing and pushing their limits. I imagine they've lost their attachment to the big long term picture of "I want to climb V17 or 9C at the age of 35" or whatever and just get after it, HARD, every day.
Why should my perspective be any different?
