Re: [jonnylaw] climbing speed
I'm just a span jumper so far but am about ready to make my first A after almost 100 S'es. How long does it take for an average guy to climb 350ft? Is there a formula?

Re: [leroydb] climbing speed
holy shit I feel like an ASS. I hate being that guy. please, accept the most sincere of apologies.
In THAT case, that is pretty freaking fast. 300+ pull ups in a DAY for anyone is pretty wicked.

First A in 1982 we stopped about every 400' to do a line. It took about 4 hours to get to 1400' but we were really buzzed when we got there!

My 1st A was 300' and it took about 30-40 minutes.
Of course climbing while scared and wearing all the
gear made me slow. Thanks again Blitzkreig.

Re: [blitzkrieg] climbing speed
I'm the slow one out of my jumping buddies... ~30min to 580ft. They're usually at least 5min faster than me.
