Who would you say are the five best climbers in the world
at the moment. men, women and youth.
Its your personal opinion so dont just post competition results
unless they happen to be your top five.

Ding! We have a weener!
Not that you have to be dead to be good.....but you sure as heck don't have to live up to your publicity.
If drkodos were dead...he'd be a god!

Both Huber brothers, Dean Potter, Peter Croft, Lynn Hill, and Tommy Caldwell (just cause he still rules with 3 fingers).

In reply to: Tommy Caldwell (just cause he still rules with 3 fingers).
how do you come up with 3 fingers? he cut off 1/3 of one finger... that would add up to 4 and 2/3's (counting the thumb) plus his whole other hand

Empirical evidence proves that the top 5 climbers are these:
1 12380 Patxi Usobiaga Spain
2 12345 Ramonet Julian Spain
3 12330 Tomáš Mrázek Czech Republic
4 12180 Adam Pustelnik Poland
5 12078 David Graham United States
Thanks to 8a.nu the debate is over.
I don't know who these Hubers, Gullich, Lowe, Harding etc are.... but they are obviously not the top 5 climbers in the world.
Idiots... all of you....
