Bloodporne Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Also Miles Davis and all the Jazz legends that came out of that circle. Musicianship at a level I'm entirely too stupid to comprehend. I love Wynton Kelly on piano Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moa Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Lynn Hill for the first free ascent of The Nose (5.14a/b) of El Capitan in 1994. The Nose was first ascended in 1958 with aid by a party over the course of 47 days. Since then it has been one of the premier objectives in big wall climbing. For years before Lynn Hill claimed the first free ascent (climbing using only one's body without the use of tools or aid using ropes only for protection) the route was thought to be impossible without aid. This ascent was likely the greatest climbing achievement of its time and is one of the rare instances in modern athletics where a woman's achievements and abilities eclipsed that of her male contemporaries (I'd be interested in hearing of more examples of this). For additional context, The Nose was not repeated in a free ascent until 2005, 11 years after Hill's first ascent, and it has only been repeated by 8 individuals. Alex Honnold currently holds the aided speed climbing record of The Nose, but has never completed a free ascent of the route. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TUFKAK Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Between Dorian Yates and Ronnie Coleman. Dorian brought something to the sport nobody had ever seen before. Ronnie just perfected it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Simo Häyhä - Wikipedia EN.M.WIKIPEDIA.ORG Quote Simo Häyhä (Finnish: [ˈsimo ˈhæy̯hæ] (listen); 17 December 1905 – 1 April 2002), often referred to by his nickname, The White Death, was a Finnish military sniper in World War II during the 1939–1940 Winter War against the Soviet Union. He used a Finnish-produced M/28-30 (a variant of the Mosin–Nagant rifle) and a Suomi KP/-31 submachine gun. He is believed to have killed over 500 men during the Winter War, the highest number of sniper kills in any major war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
