For those of you trad climbers and beginners out there who dont regularly check www.8a.nu, Mike Williams recently redpointed Mango Tango at the New River Gorge.

Mike has not yet commented on the pushup routine that he used to train for the route, but it goes without saying he must have done a lot of them!

This just goes to show that when you live according to good Christian values and spread his word, you can accomplish anything. Brother Mike had been searching for that perfect line for quite some time, and Jesus finally decided that this was his time. I think an honorary membership to Climbers for Christ maybe should be in order...Wink Wink..


Science Bless,

Cinnamon

Just heard this last night. Good on ya, Mike! And just as importantly, thank you for all the hard work you've put in replacing old bolts and anchors. We could use several more like you, man. Smile

Look Rockjunkie, this isnt about me.

Its about Mike's recent send, and his unwavering faith in our lord and personal savior Jesus Christ.

You had better think about the way youre living, or else we'll see how hard you can boulder with Satan's trident up your butt!

OH MY FUKIN GOD! get outta here bro! Sharma is the best boulderer on the planet and he smokes weed and doesn't wait for Jesus to "allow" him a route. Pick up a 6th grade science book and it will FACTUALLY de-bunk this whole "jesus/god" bullshit! I wouldn't have had to do this if your post was truly about "mike's send", but more than 1/2 your post was about "Jesus". take this shit to a 100% religion forum.... away form climbing.

Brother Paul, if you will refer to scripture you will clearly see that your mancrush on Chris Sharma is a sin.

The Lord says that one male climber ought not lay with another male climber, even if his shaggy hair and chiseled back drive you crazy.

Watch out. If you continue like this, he may kill you and eat your entrails on his tummy. Vicious!

... I don't know anything about that route - why would you train pushups for it?

Science Bless,

Congratulations on the climb, but why do you have to take the credit away from him. Wasn't it his hard work that got him up the climb.

And your not fooling anyone. We all know that Jesus is a trad climber. He doesnt beleive in clipping bolts. He actually roots against sport climbers.

For those interested in seeing what the route looks like, he're a video of Joel Brandy sending it. What a beautiful line.

You know Paul, I was checking out your profile and it says you climb 5.11b sport....ouch.

In sport climbing thats really kind of a beginner/novice sort of level. Did you ever think that maybe God is punishing you with poor climbing performance because you keep disobeying him and blaspheming?

Do you ever realize you should STFU, stop preaching to people, and let people make their own life decisions.


Congrats to mike on the wicked hard send.

God bless Amerika, rock climbin,' and cinnamon johnsons. If Mikey had not turned his hind end toward Mecca in submission at 5:14pm that day, as I witnessed, he would surely not have sent. The closer we get to Him, I say, the more He helps pull us up.
In other words, Mikey no doubt cheated. As always.

its good to see JC is still out there helping out good GOD fearing men, once again establishing mans dominion over nature. thank you CJ for spreading the word. can't wait to get back to "The New" and have a sin crushing worship session with the amazing Christian Nation at my favorite crag. Its only through GODs grace that Mikey could crimp his way to success.
